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.

    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.
