President Donald Trump isn’t attending the dignified transfer of four American soldiers who died in Lithuania, because he has instead chosen to attend a Saudi-backed golf tournament at his country club in Doral, Florida.
For real. To me, Trump is the embodiment of the American stereotype. I know Americans think that the rest of the world stereotype them as being fat, but no no no. The behavior Trump exhibits is the American stereotype on crack. I am pretty anti America (sorry, not sorry) and have been since Bush, but even I could not have come up with a more cartoony and offensive American stereotype than the Trump persona.
Same, but Bush was a fucking rocket scientist in comparison. If someone told me that in the Bush area that thy’ll find someone way WAY dumber to elect. TWICE.
I would’ve never believed that. No way.
Oh same. I stayed up all night during the 2016 election and when Trump won I was laughing hysterically because I couldn’t believe what I was seeing and hearing.
My sweet, lovely and amazing boyfriend told me during this election that Harris would win because the Americans wouldn’t put up with the abortion stuff and I just told him that I thought he was overestimating the American population. He’s always thought my hatred for America was too unnuanced and unfair, but I mean… I have been right so far. Which isn’t really the win I was hoping for. I was actually hoping to be proven wrong at least once in my fucking lifetime, but eh.
Disclaimer: no, I don’t hate all American people. I know most Americans are chill. I just despise the me-me-me culture and how the system is built to screw the little guy over and reward the über rich 1%. The people deserve better. So so much better.
The good parts of this country are weighed down by the catastrophically shit parts.
