    Tldr, they’re actually trying and have been trying, to pass bills to gut the ADA because disability access is anti American.

    Also, the post is just making fun of the US consistently doing messed up stuff. When picking something for hyperbole, you usually pick something that’s extreme, not something that actually already happened.
    it’s not quite as funny to say “the news is always like: former US president argues he should legally be able to do whatever he wants without consequences and courts might let him, meanwhile Finland has nearly eradicated homelessness.” You do get that the point was to be funny?

      That proposal died in Congress 7 years ago.

      We Americans are not the monstrous caricatures you make us out to be. We’re not evil. We’re not wicked. And the US is not some dystopian nightmare. It’s actually a pretty good place to live.

        The proposal shouldn’t have existed in the first place! There wouldn’t be a need to kill the proposal if our representation was composed of empathetic decent people, instead of ghouls bought out by the wealthy few.

        It’s pretty monstrous to even consider proposing a removal of legislation that objectively helps a lot of Americans.

            Nope, you’re either just a moron with shit reading comprehension skills, or you’re a sealioning troll.

            I never said anything about all Americans, I said a portion of our representatives have proposed gutting ADA protections, which is pretty universally liked in America.
