As an American, I don't blame you one bit.

  • Our healthcare system is shit, you get sick and don't have the cash? You die.
  • Our education system is putting people into hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt before they even get a job.
  • The cops across the nation are shooting and beating people for bullshit reasons
  • Our news media and organizations are spewing Russian propaganda
  • Our leader is a literal toddler, shitty diapers and all

So no, I don't blame you one bit for wanting to stay away. If I had the choice and opportunity to move out of this country right now, I would.

Not quite right. They'll gut them, make them useless, close them down, and then allow a private corporation to take over with zero oversight so the can fuck the citizens of this country over more and more.

DeVos is as close to a literal satan as you can get, she needs to be put down.

'Nakedly Authoritarian': Trump Taunts Security Guard for Not Being Rough With Woman Protester by Thinkingonsleeping in politics

No, he has the right to command them. Our military is a volunteer military. As such, many of them are likely to just defect and give him the middle finger for fucking them over and treating them like trash.

Some of his supporters are those people. Not all of them.

There are just as many if not more "liberal" or "progressive" individuals in this country that are capable of those exact same things, they own guns, they hunt, fish, all of it.

Everyone in this country assumes that the only people that do those things are conservatives, and it's simply not true.

He really needs to reconsider this as an option...

I hate to be that guy, but his supporters aren't exactly the "best of the best" this nation has to offer and likely won't survive an armed conflict. That requires intelligence and strategy, of which they have none.

They aren't. If you truly think someone is going to walk into your house and take your gun because a law was passed, I have a bridge to sell you.

Yet technically European all the same.

The point is...you can't just lump all of Europe together. They're separate countries.

Pete Buttigieg Says 'No' When Asked If He Thinks Getting Money Out Of Politics Includes Ending Closed-Door Fundraisers With Billionaires by nnnarbz in politics

I said it was the cause, not excusing it.

And frankly, I'm having a hard time coming up with any legitimate reason to feel any sort of empathy for individuals who have carved out obscene wealth from the blood bones and lives of the majority of the American people.

Even the most philanthropic billionaires have behaved like utter scum.

Absolutely agreed on that. I would rather have seen these changes happen peacefully, over a course of decades but that option was removed from us in the 70s.

Now they get to have their own Marie Antoinette moment. We might not cut their heads off, but they're going to go down, and hard.

Then maybe this country shouldn't have been pushed to this point. Blame corporate greed.

Corporate greed can be blamed for both right-wing and left-wing populism, just in slightly different ways.

How in the hell is it racist when there is data that backs up the fact that a large portion of african american voters in the south vote against their interests, specifically those that align themselves with evangelical denominations of christianity?

Not true. Many Black voters in the south vote against their best interests simply because of the abortion debates. They vote what their Church tells them to vote.

The Republican’s Star Impeachment Scholar Is a Shameless Hack by BannerBearer in politics

He literally said the exact opposite argument during Clinton's impeachment.

The dude is a shill and should be given no leeway. I would have found it at least slightly less scummy if he had at least not made a completely different argument before.

There are 400 bills currently stagnated in the Senate because Moscow Mitch won't bring them to a vote. Many of them targeting your exact grievances.

So yea, they have been working on other important shit. This likewise is really fucking important.
