[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Americans who voted for Trump have long been coddled and that makes them stupid & gullible. [/quote]
+1 agree.  I stated this before: Americans have no idea what it's like to live under a dictatorship. They don't know what that looks like, and so they don't see the insidiousness of this administration. They've also become used to buying cheap stuff, and lots of it .    They think they deserve all of that. Most of the world don't live like that.

One of the few things that’s going to get me through is knowing there are a lot of MAGA that are about to get an extremely painful education in how bad life is like in an autocratic hellhole. Maybe it will make them appreciate what we had. But more likely, they won’t survive long enough to reflect. Most people don’t have $400 for an emergency- where are they going to get an extra $100 for their monthly shopping once the credit cards are turned off? [/quote]

America has its problems, but we still live better than the vast majority of the rest of the planet. There is a reason millions of people try to come here, legally and illegally.

Well border crossings are significantly down. We are so hellbent on making America a fascist and inhospitable place to live that we’re willing to spiral into a technocracy just to keep the “poor brown people” away.

[b]We are not going to be living better than many other first world countries. [/b]We’ll lose our cutting edge with scientific research all for the “dream” of manufacturing crap in the US that no one can afford anyway. While our billionaire overlords cut Medicaid, SS, and other social safety supports.

Yay, so much winning![/quote]

We are [i]already[/i] not living better than many other first world countries. It just hasn't trickled up to the upper middle class yet.

Our life expectancy isn't keeping pace and we have the worst maternal and infant mortality rate in the developed world. Those are major indicators of decline.[/quote]

Or, being on the computer typing all day and eating junk from restaurants may be the problem.

If you want to figure out infant mortality, be my guest.  Eighteen cents of every dollar spent in the USA is spent on health care, so you tell us.

Just don't tell us we need to spend even more on it. Nope.[/quote]

The defensiveness upon being told you're not #1 is astounding.[/quote]
