Don_DickleI am an American. I used to be proud of my country. Now it feels like a turd circling the drain. Is there anything going on behind the scene that America is actually doing good in?
The amount of venom in this thread is astounding. I’m close to leaving lemmy. The amount of hate people are spewing for shit that’s not our fault is starting to get old.
We cannot hope to improve as a nation while sitting there huffing our own farts. I, for one, see a chance for this mess to be a catalyst for real change in this country.
This sentiment gives me the most hope. I’ve long held the sentiment that a great prolonged pain is what we all needed to break the cycle.
I don’t want it to end so soon or we’ll fall yet again into old habits. Then we would’ve learnt nothing.
Let the modern PedoNazis keep pushing the knife so the right people feel the pain and finally also understand the consequences of stupidity in voting. The conservative voter is incapable of empathy and understands nothing else but personal suffering.
Things are pretty messed up right now and its not really surprising people are looking for an outlet.
Im grumpy with the US like everyone else.
Yeah, I am too. But, I don’t need people calling me names for not risking my neck to kill people.
Fair enough.
Im also angry at our guys in Australia. Our prime minister Albo has had a lot to say about how we’re managing the crisis and what we’re going to do, but absolutely no criticism or pressure on the one person who caused this and is the only person who can bring it to an end.
I really want Albo and other world leaders of “middle powers” to be unanimous in calling out Trumps absurd and reckless behaviour.
