Meme of the Day!

It's weird the memes some people on the internet think demonstrate "election fraud" which did not exist. Trump's election fraud narrative has been disproven in over 50 court cases --- there is no evidence of wide-scale election fraud whatsoever despite "audits" by shady firms and all the other claims by the MAGA crowd.
Yeah, the "far right" is there to do the beheadings of natives in the name of Christ... so it's all good.
The Christians from Spain save 250,000 people a year once they arrived
Estimates the number of persons sacrificed in central Mexico in the 15th century as high as 250,000 per year.
The Indians the Spanish did not kill with the sword -- they killed with smallpox and other diseases, starvation or via slavery. The Indian population in areas of the Americas colonized by the Spanish dropped swiftly... not only in Mexico, Central and South America but in the Caribbean as well.
"During the first decades of the Spanish occupation of the New World, hundreds of thousands of native peoples died. Some perished from starvation, others from diseases brought from the Old World, and some were simply worked to death."
"The Spanish conquest and colonization of Mexico had disastrous effects on indigenous people. Disease, coupled with drastic changes in the economic, political, and religious structures, led to an enormous depopulation event throughout the colony of New Spain."
When two civilizations meet many things happen
Europe got wiped out several times from the Bubonic plague that came from the far east
A civilization needs to advance enough to counter existential threats. Indigenous peoples rarely unified or developed a culture of modernization.
If the Mayas had better weapons and were more rational they could have killed Cortez and stem the tide of colonialism and reduce exposure to small pox
