I 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.

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.
