If you went back two decades and told them the US government would be posting edgy videos and memes on their official Twitter accounts, they'd think you grew a third head.

Man, some people really always have a rosy ~~propaganda filled~~ picture of US history. Twitter didn't exists 2 decades ago but they were still propagandizing cringe through TV and news media.

Yankistanis will always have their head up theirs. SAD
