Just be more accurate: it's about 25% of americans who are traitorous, backstabbing nazi cunts who voted for Trump. It's way not even close to half, to say nothing of all.

If this person was one of them, then yes, do save your sadness for elsewhere. Otherwise, it's like it happening to you.

25%. That makes every forth person in the streets a fascist. And then another large chunk are fascist enablers or apologists, considering the fact that they stand unopposed. If you want to say "Not all Americans", I got a newsflash. "Not all Chinese citizens" and "Not all Russians". Some absolutely wonderful people live in these countries and most just want to live happy lives, free from all this bullshit. All I'm saying is I no longer see an excuse to pretend like America is any different and is most definitely not a worthy partner of the free world. Or being in my news feed as if it was my neighbor.

The only difference for now is that we relied on the US as our largest partner and thus it has more power to fuck our lives over too, but that's temporary and something we have only ourselves to blame for. The signs were on the wall all along, and yet we believed America was somehow better. If Americans are fucking stupid, then we're fucking delusional.

I am glad I went to visit America back in the day when it was still somewhat okay. It was 10 years ago. I wouldn't be able to visit again with a clear conscience.

Which means that less than 25% were willing to stand against the traitorous, backstabbing nazi cunts who voted for Trump.

I don't feel better about the situation

The wrong genocidal corporate stooge won.

The high horse is about to suffer a quadruple amputation.

By the very same logic the rest of the world allowing us to tread on it to our hearts content is equally at fault.

We never could have established this idiotic sense of superiority without dozens of, if not a clear hundred client states that willingly allowed our corporate vampires a nice suckle.

They don't call it the double Texan, it's the double Irish that our largest firms have used to skirt international and domestic taxation for decades.

We have more extra national military bases than domestic ones because so many nations were happy to cede their freedoms for security.

The pipers bill has been in the mail a long time.

Yeah that's not the winning line you think it is.
