    Considering the fact that the Americans who don’t worship Trump seem to spend most of their time clutching their pearls about how some people don’t like the latest Disney movie and constantly insist that holding a weekend sign-waving parade a couple of times per year is all they should be reasonably expected to do to fight a fascist regime that’s killing people by the thousands and creating chaos all around the world, I think condemning the country as a whole is appropriate.

    But hey, maybe a few more Luigi memes will make Trump go away.

      Or maybe judging every person in a country because of the actions of one man and his followers is a very Trump supporter thing to do. Just to make sure you understand, if you with your mindset and way of thinking were born here, you would probably be a red hat wearing piece of garbage just like them.

        If I was born in the United States, and my country’s democratically-elected government was threatening to annex its neighbours, bombing countries unprovoked, allowing hundreds of thousands of people to die due to suddenly reneging on expected aid and generally doing everything in its power to destroy the concept of democracy around the world I’d like to think my biggest concern wouldn’t be that some of the people in the countries being attacked aren’t going out of their way to fluff my ego. The fact that that does seem to be the biggest concern of so many Americans says a lot.

            When US tanks roll into my country, I am not going to give two shits about who the tank driver voted for.

            Your fascism is destabilizing the world, and the rest of us are tired of the excuses like “I didn’t vote for it”. Fucking great for you. Guess what, the billions of other people on the planet didn’t either and we’re the ones suffering the consequences. People in other countries have died directly because of the actions of YOUR country. Some by bombs, some by yanking support, and some by just plain old apathy.

            “Don’t blame me, I didn’t vote for him” is god-damned fucking tone deaf. “My conscience is clean, so you cannot hold me accountable.” Abdication of responsibility for the actions of YOU government. If you do nothing for real to stop it, then you are complicit.

            Half of the people who voted, voted for this, and a full third of people didn’t vote at all. That means that two out of 3 Americans let this happen.

            “My conscience is clean, so you cannot hold me accountable.” All Americans, even the ones who didn’t vote for him benefit from the economic imperialism the US has been enforcing upon the world. The average American is 84 times richer than the average African. Even if you are dirt poor, your quality of life far exceeds the vast majority of the world.

            So I’ll kick it back to you, “genius fucking mentality you have” that you think anyone in any other country will have any bit of sympathy for the average American, since it’s your country that you have benefited from the wealth and opulence of that is causing nearly every fucking problem the world is experiencing right now.

              “Your fascism” riiight MY fascism. Let me just look up the worst leader of whatever country you are from and I’ll assume you are just like them. No matter who you support or who YOU are as a person. I’m going to pick the worst person I can find and tell everyone that you are the same.

                Whataboutism, the classic argument of someone with no point.

                I’ll save you the history research. We had some really shitty people, and when we found out they were shitty, we got rid of them, or if they were already gone, we taught in school why they were shitty and told kids to not do shitty things to other people. And we don’t make it illegal to teach our kids that we had shitty people in our past.

                As opposed to a country that re-elected a convicted criminal, rapist and most likely pedophile and seems more concerned with checking the inside of a child’s underwear than the fascists running the country.

              Do you think any Americans give a shit about your horrible opinion? We have just as many problems as the rest of the world. You don’t live here, you dont know the actual people. You are making judgements of an entire country of people because of the actions of the few. I dont care how many bad things you bring up that America has done, I can research some fucked up shit that your country did too because guess what? Every country has fucking problems. Thinking you are somehow better than me because you don’t happen to live in my geography is literally Maga mentality. Might as well be Nazi mentality. You think im somehow more responsible for this shit than you because of where I was born? You’re cooked in the head man. You’re cooked.

                I spent 6 long years working in the united states, and still have many friends there, and most of my life lived on the border and spent a lot of time there. When I served in the military, I worked with a lot of US service members. And I’m educated and probably know more about your country than you do.

                And I responded to your other unhinged message, but forgot to add this.

                My country learns from our mistakes, we don’t re-elect them.
