Joe Bob’s Thought of the Day: American Edition (Patreon)

One of the strangest things people say is "Violence is un-American. That's not what America is about."

     America was born in violence, fought an actual war between the states, has had so much trouble with murder and other violent crimes that we have more people in prison than any other country, leads the world in serial killers and mass shootings, had a 120-year period where lynching went unpunished, and has in its history about 200 minor insurrections like the Whiskey Rebellion and the Haymarket Riots and the Watts Riots.

     Violence is sort of, uh, American.
