So, what's it like living under a fascist dictatorship, America, do you feel great again?
What did I do to feel either good or bad about? I have this ugly smile for people who want to lump my six-language-speaking US Army veteran ass in with the rest of these mouthbreathers.
@tuban_muzuru I wish Trump only had power to rule over the Deplorables, in some walled-off desert area, it would be a mutual Hell. Unfortunately we don't live in that world. I just feel sorry for all Americans who possess an IQ over 20, and who think Hitler was a bad dude, and that gassing 6 million Jews isn't "cool", and feel deep embarrassment that America has become a laughingstock, and Putin's bitch.
The nation-state is a surprisingly recent concept, The French Revolution, then the surge of nationalism in the 19th century - look at all the trouble they've caused.
The USA has done so much to be ashamed of, from the day it signed slavery into law in the Constitution to Jim Crow and the appalling treatment of the native people - when was there anythiing to be proud of?
People can laugh at the USA, doesn't bother me. We are the world's trash heap for unwanted humans.
@tuban_muzuru America has a wealth of smart, big-hearted, beautiful human beings, but sadly their faces are forever being stamped on by brutal thugs, cretins, Nazis, traitors, liars, thieves, gangsters, misogynists, and racists, among other assorted scumsuckers. America is a stately Queen, who is currently being held down, and anally-raped to death with a broken-bottle, I can find no better analogy.
Nations are nothing but a form of cheap religion. Stop believing in America. SCOTUS said we could buy our politicians.
@tuban_muzuru If only Kamala had been elected, I dare say people would be smiling, getting on with their lives, pursuing their goals of self-expression, and self-determination, and not constantly worrying about being robbed, abducted, and dying of embarrassment.
The one thing I can say about leadership, it's mostly a matter of dealing with the fresh hell coming over the horizon every effing day. Coping. Playing black.
Kamala Harris made it about Trump - and lost. It was a bad move. Trump made it about stupid promises he knew he couldn't keep.
See, there are more stupid people than smart people in this world. Democrats already have the smart people - but they're seemingly incapable of rousing up the stupids.
@tuban_muzuru Yep. It's sad that intelligent governance requires intelligent leaders, but the great sweaty-masses are afraid, and suspicious of intelligence, and smart, capable people, they see it as an implicit rebuke, so deny them their votes ... and here we are.
Ah jeez, the USA sells stupid things to stupid people all day long. The Democrats are just too proud to get down with the home folkx.
Case in point: none of them can say Jesus and smile while they do. It's all so much bullshit and slander about evangelicals - that endears the Democrats to a sector of America which hasn't voted for Democrats in a long time.
Rural voters? Not a chance. The Republicans can't get elected in rural America to save their lives.
Etcetera.
