    The US is a pedocracy.

    I'm ashamed of the US, its stupid, lazy, and gullible people, and the entire Republican party. This country has become a cancer on civilization that must be cured.

    It's okay.

    People haven't forgotten the genocide of indigenous populations that happened when the Americas were first colonized.

    I don't think anybody will let them live this down either.

    As a nation, we have had two indelible stains on our history that we can never erase - the genocide of the indigenous people on our hemisphere, and slavery.

    Now we will have a third one - The Trump Era. We will have to wear it forever, just like Germany will always have to wear their Nazi Era.

    It's not so much that they are actual Nazis, it's just that MAGA and Nazi are the manifestation of the same ugly demographic slice that ALWAYS exists among humanity. Healthy societies keep that ugly slice of humanity under control in various ways, but now and then society weakens, and that ugly slice of humanity gets too much power, and because of who they are at their core, they cannot resist the opportunity to exploit and abuse that power.

    It's not that MAGAs are really Nazis, it's that MAGAs and Nazis rose from the same source of bad humans. It's a nuance that many people don't understand.

    Not hidden, but employed for weapon and rocket tech under the guise of national security. And that's not to mention the psychological torture we obtained/learned and experimented with in the CIA.

    We have a whole lot more than that. We are a rampantly imperialist nation which has caused countless deaths across the globe, disrupting and manipulating the governments of entire countries, all in the name of protecting the "economy".

    Once again not everyone here came here back in the day. Kinda got here because Hitler bombed my families home. Kinda fucked to run from Nazis to be told we deserve to be killed by Nazis.

    Would be nice to get some help from our “allies” we are clearly taken over. Mayday ffs.

    Duly noted.

    I'm not really okay making (lack of) healthcare jokes/jabs at the US since you have little control of that (and it's really dark). Same for school shootings and weight (food deserts and all).

    But electing a well-known pedophile (among many other negative qualities) by not only electoral, but popular vote as well? That one's on you.

    I mean.. If you can blame people for voting in trump, the healthcare and gun problems also could have been largely avoided with some better voting over the last several decades.

    He stole the election. Like you have better chances of winning the lottery then getting the votes in all of the places he did at the same time. Not to mention he literally told us elon was going to steal the election. Then elon made a joke about going to jail if they didn’t win. Then his kid said even mentioned something weird he clearly heard his dad say about the election.

    But if it makes you feel better when they kill us I guess. But they aren’t killing the bad Americans. And they aren’t ever going to stop.

  • Why are you wasting your time arguing with some random European online? Go do something about it. Idk what that something is (probably best to find someone who does first), but there has to be something you can do.

    We can hopefully continue the argument after you win.
