Wrong. The good people of this country will put the nightmarish Trump/Biden years in the rear view mirror and we'll move forward to a better place together with love and compassion for all of our fellow Americans who were duped into thinking 80 year old people should be POTUS.

With all the both-sidesing that happens in these threads, I hope people can see the difference between 2020 Biden and 2024 Biden. 2020 Biden took part in a primary and earned the nomination. While the pandemic limited his public appearances, he was sharp when he needed to be (debating Trump, for example). 2024 Biden screwed us all.

Trump, on the other hand, has always been the same guy.


…and Biden at his worst was better than Trump ever was. As a human.

Dems are no better. Different but not better.

This country is a cultural wasteland. The uneducated outnumber the educated because let's face it the wealth gap is huge and most parents do not have time to raise their kids when they need to work. This in turn puts not all but most if not many many kids at disadvantages educationally, both by way of formal schooling but also from a perspective of knowing what's right and wrong. This country is all about profit now so everything's expensive to the point where it's utter ridiculousness from our national to personal debt. Again not all but the majority don't have enough money to receive good healthcare. We all eat horribly, culturally nobody cares about each other only selfishness and independence seems to be priority thus gun culture, MAGA, no vax movement, etc.

Not suggesting there aren't wonderful people or caring communities out there but more and more, there's the above and there's a lot of decay in the culture of this country - what it stood for. Taking down NASA is a huge symbol - it stood for imagination, leadership, expertise at one point. Now this admin wants to replace it with ICE. Everything is interconnected. This kind of stuff makes an impact not just politically but culturally and it changes the energy of how this country moves forward.

Maybe other countries don't lament their futures as we do more and more now but they also don't pin their flags to all their houses and talk such a big game about how great their country is v to the rest of the world like Americans are apt to do.

You say “Dems are no better” but literally everything you point out - ICE, healthcare, gun culture, defunding science - can be laid at the feet of MAGA and the Republican Party. Is it possible that, maybe, both parties aren’t equally reprehensible? That Democrats for all their faults at least stand for responsible governance and not tearing down America?

Read some books on the history of South American countries and Bosnia Herzagovina. We'll follow it loosely because we're humans, religion, struggle for power, etc. We won't replicate them exactly because of our Pax Americana attitude, but it'll be close. We're on the chapter of political assassinations. Next comes death squads and feudalism. You can see the mayhem coming, unfortunately.

Oh, and it won't matter if a D or R controls things. You aren't getting out of it that easy. All your expectations on stability and standards of living will go right out the window.

Read James Rickards some time.


He is much closer to being an African or South American dictator than he is to being Hitler. People just don’t learn about them in school so Hitler is the only violent dictator that people know.



Jon Stewart did a fantastic bit on this years ago. Trump sounds exactly like the SA dictators.

The 100 American flags in houses in my neighborhood - could not be more obnoxious. The problem is that so many continue to talk about how great this country has been and will be without actually observing what it is like now. We have a lot of probs and it's not a shame to admit it so we can fix it and recognize we gave something to do better and want to learn from other countries who may do something better but nope, it's always about how nobody is stronger, richer or has more freedom than the US. So what? None if it means we are happy or good at anything!


Do other countries experience the self-hatred we do or is that unique to the U.S.?
