This statement could be applied to a lot of different facets of American culture.

I mean we are a huge country. We simply can't do a lot of stuff without a lot of checks and balances. Trump does but gets yelled for it (rightly so) but as a rule of law and process, Americans just aren't given to doing anything quickly. If you go to Asia and watch customer service it's a totally different game than if us here in States.

The answer to your question is singer cultural but also logistical in terms of scope.

Yes but things are really going poorly. You elected a clown show. You were wrong and elected someone completely unfit for office. He lacks basic understanding of economics, history, English, manners, and ethics. He needs to be removed before we have a depression, period end of story.

Depends on what you mean by poorly. President Trump is trying to correct massive trade deficits. Let's see how things play out.

And as for all the things you claim he lacks, did you listen to Harris at any point?

It's pretty clear that Trump doesn't know what a trade deficit actually is or why they might exist.

Demented Don posted on Truth Social:
Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Rand Paul, also of Kentucky, will hopefully get on the Republican bandwagon, for a change, and fight the Democrats wild and flagrant push to not penalize Canada for the sale, into our Country, of large amounts of Fentanyl, by Tariffing the value of this horrible and deadly drug in order to make it more costly to distribute and buy.

"Tariffing the value of this horrible and deadly drug" sure sounds like he thinks this is a tariff on fentanyl.

That’s part of it, we have been dumbed down enough that Donald was elected, but the S Koreans also elected the guy they ousted. I think the big difference is that we are soft and complacent. However, we might see the end of that before too long.

did you miss the part where millions in South Korea also voted for that president who was ousted? Have you heard anything about South Korea having a civil war recently due to the ousting of the president?

Do you understand that it was done somewhat peacefully? Do you understand that South Koreans who supported the president did not invade their parliament with zip ties and smear feces all inside?

How are you this ignorant?

Ok, sure, you do it ahead and do it peacefully. Just so you know, you are posting on a public forum about ousting and a plan to overthrow the U.S. government. When did that happen before - the attempt of such a thing, hmm, hmm, hmm?
Any person with half an ounce of brain, would ask Jeff to delete your idiotic thread before it compromises him.

You are dumb and we are all a little dumber for having read your post. Go stand in the corner.

Better education system?

Why don’t Americans? I ask this as I sit on my couch, of course, so I recognize I’m part of the problem.

Our culture is much more about individual independence/liberty, while theirs has a larger community focus.

What's happening to our nation now is a threat to the nation as a whole, and we don't feel it yet individually. Regardless of how much certain people may shout that they are patriotic, they are not. We tend to support our selfish needs for independence rather than our community need to maintain a nation that actually fosters and upholds our liberties. We will learn, but after a lot of damage to personal liberties.

This is very true. I've said it before. Americans are much more "me me me". Other countries are much more community focused, hence the reason for basic universal healthcare.

I'm a PP who stated that Americans have taken our democracy for granted. They don't know what it's really like to live under a dictatorship. Many South Koreans do.

+1 That’s just it. MAGAs would be just fine with a dictatorship as long as they feel they’re on the dictator’s “good side” and their personal needs and values are fulfilled. They’d quietly watch half the country be carted off to prison camps for disagreeing with the dictator and tell themselves it’s all for the best, mutter something incoherent about migrants and transgender people, and then go back to bc watching FOX.

Absolutely. And they’d call themselves the party of freedom and saviors of the constitution while they did.

Isn't that what Maga tried to do?

Yes.

They still have societal sense of shame. Our politicians are shameless.

Ask Trump and the J6ers. And Bolsonaro and the J8s.
