Wonderful, it’s time people got the memo, America are not the good guys.
I’m saying this as an American. I would love to see a world where America’s Government was viewed with suspicion when acting in international affairs instead of Europe looking up to them like the adult in the room. Europe, YOU, are the adult in the room.
We never did that though.
The dynamic was more like the US is the big rich kid with all the toys who sometimes bullies the other kids so it’s better to have him on side.
Now you’ve elected a couple of literal spoiled rich bullies it makes it all a lot more obvious.
America has always been tolerated for political reasons. But noone in Europe has ever really looked up to the USA. You were useful to keep good relations with, (good in a fight). But you’ve always been regarded as loud, uncultured, and disturbingly patriotic. And honestly, if you look back at Europe’s history, we’re not exactly afraid of a fight.
Stay the fuck out of Greenland and Canada, and come talk to us when you elect a grownup.
I tried, but honestly until we get rid of Gerrymandering, Republicans will have a foothold no matter how blatantly unpopular and universally reviled they are
The problem is they aren’t universally reviled. Trump still got 77M votes (almost half the popular vote). And that was in the full knowledge of how badly he fucked up the first time. But even if people didn’t pay attention to the pandemic, and the Muslim ban, and the separation of children from their families, and the protests, and the insurrection, the man still behaves like a toddler with frontotemporal dementia (including sundowning on stage). Yeah gerrymandering is a definite problem, but the commercialisation of politics and the relentless rightwing propaganda is a much bigger one.
Yeah, but the thing is, Trump didn’t gain any voters, Kamala merely failed to re-obtain votes Biden had one.
And since Voter Intimidation was in full swing and Elon is, according to Trump “Good with computers, so you don’t REALLY need to vote”, there’s too much shenanigans
My point is that 77M people want trump to be president and that is 77M too many when you consider the shit show that was his first term. Even if a few million of those votes are fabricated, it’s still a massive problem.
