    It’s a good way to teach everyone that the way to deal with America is to stab them in the back as soon as possible, and to make it a killing blow.

    Thanks for telling us who you are.

        Who was voted into office by 77 million Americans (knowing full well who he was and what he would do once in office) while 83 million stayed home. 75 million did at least the bare minimum, but they’d spent decades allowing their party to descend into controlled opposition to the point where the best tactic they could think of to oppose Trump was to wave little round signs around in Congress.

        Trump is the full embodiment of the American spirit. He’s proudly ignorant, arrogant, petty, and a firm believer in a might-makes-right philosophy. He’s also wealthy due to circumstance but firmly believes that he earned it. America has never had a truer representation of their values as President.

            Well, think of it this way: does the fact that some parts of the brain of a serial killer protested their acts really matter to the victims? Does it matter in court when they’re sentenced to death? Should that part of their body be judged separately?

              sounds an awful lot like you’re just making excuses to be xenophobic.

              are you saying that all Germans are Nazis, or all Africans are savage tribesmen, or maybe that all Australians are criminals?

          Dont forget the US democrats, who also ran a pro genocide campaign while still pretending as hard as they can that they never had anything to do with any genocide, and certainly arent compromised in their pursuit of democracy or justice, no sir-ee. This would have happened nearly the same if they had been elected-- just with more theater. The whole American governance system is fundamentally broken and unlikely to fix itself.
