Guess what! If you’re an American, we still blame you! This bullshit started the day Reagan was elected, if not sooner, so you’ve had at least 45 years to fix it. You haven’t. So don’t expect anything but deeply held contempt from the rest of the world.

Wow that was harsh. Most of us thought our votes counted and that the election wouldn’t be bought and paid for by the likes of Musk and other rich racist dudes.

You are correct. I believed the same, but here we are. Unfortunately, there are millions of people who simply don't care & are going about their daily lives like none of this matters &/or everything is just a punch line. I try so hard to wake them up but it's like running into a (stupid) brick wall.

He's not wrong. I am an American. I am also tired of other Americans saying "this isn't who we are." Because it really IS who we are. Maybe you aren't, and I know I'm not. It is who this country is. It is who we are until we do something. But too many sit on the sidelines and let this shit happen.

If you're not against Trump, you're for him 😡 The people who sat on their arses last November, guzzling beer and chewing popcorn, watching MAGA TV, and couldn't be bothered to vote for a decent law abiding citizen to lead them? They're the ones to blame. They have taken Liberty for granted 🤦‍♀️ 🇺🇸😢

The Democrats have to take some responsibility. They were making choices for the greater good without explaining what they were doing. Unfortunately there are a lot of uneducated people who don't know how the world actually works and why allies make hard choices.

I have to agree. Trump has made the greedy, low life racists not afraid to show who they are. I am so sick of the terms Woke and the DEI being thrown around like they are bad things. At least the company I worked for is proud of the diversity of our leadership and the opportunities I was given.

Up until the past 10 years, I couldn't imagine how Germans allowed that Nazi shit to happen, and I blamed them for not waking up. Now I know the how. And although many here have been 'awake' & screaming, we still seemed powerless against it. So I get it now. But I also accept your blame.

Reagan was an actor and not a qualified politician, similar to our current president, who’s presidency was the start of loads of shady stuff using the military in corrupt ways. Read “Drift” by Rachel Maddow it’s a real eye opener. If you recall the Iran-Contra affair, for instance.

Drift by Rachel Maddow, on the unmooring of American Military Power.
