And it’s only gotten worse
But Taco said we were hot, and we weren’t hot when Biden was in office, because “worst president evar” or somesuch.
I have to trust dear leader and not any kind of real data, just like I believe him when he says we had the worst economy ever under Biden, in spite of all the evidence.
I think US popularity is collapsing in the US as well. I know I’m starting to hate it here.
Never in my long life have I considered leaving America, but I’m looking at options now.
Yup, half our population is now defending human trafficking and statutory rape.
I’ve been trying to convince my wife to leave since 2016. I’m 99% sure the main reason she won’t agree is because she will burst into flames if she ever admits to being wrong about anything.
When I married my wife in 2005 she told me she’d NEVER leave her home and family. Took her to Australia for the first time in 2015 and within an hour of landing she was ready to move, which we did in November 2015, right before trump 1.0. Now since last November she’s looking into Australian citizenship and says she’s never going back. Don’t give up hope!
Why not get a new wife?
In this economy?
Sounds very american of her.
It’s not the US, it’s the current government and all it is doing. The rest is fine.
yeah, that’s why you have christians hellbent on increasing the suffering in the world sothat christ comes back faster
and “suffering builds character” and such
nowhere more than in the us. Ugh these flag wavers. If you want pride in the country the country first has to act and function in a way that elicits pride!
I think a lot about something I read years ago. It said something like, “Some people love their country the way a child loves a parent. The parent is the smartest and the best and perfect. Some people love their country the way an adult loves a peer. They see the strengths, the potential, but also the weaknesses and problems that need to be addressed.”
Conservatives are generally children. Driven largely by emotion with a very simple moral framework. Much like you will likely struggle to explain to a toddler that taking the other kid’s toys, screaming constantly, and shitting in the sandbox won’t make a lot of friends, explaining politics to a conservative is likely to be an ordeal. They don’t care. They have feelings and that is their reality.
It’s also kind of funny how conservatives are the ones who typically say “reality doesn’t care about your feelings”. Everything is projection.
“reality doesn’t care about your feelings”
but science is woke
Man over the years that projection thing just gets more and more. Which is just crazy when they spend most of their time accusing their opponents of things we eventually find out they are actively doing at the time.
The qons are very much into performative bullshit that they think is patriotism. They’ll cry about how someone kneeling while a song plays and a piece of cloth is displayed at a sportsball game hurts “the troops”.
Then they’ll proudly vote for a party that treats the men and women of the military like a used Kleenex, and embrace a figure like Taco who called them suckers and losers.
They’ll blather about free speech, then cry about Hollywood airing shows they don’t like. They’ll talk about liberty and The Constitution, but want xtianity to be put on a pedestal.
The patriotic thing to do now is fly them upside down.
Thats how I wear the little one on my black armband at protests. Definately in distress.
the country first has to act and function in a way that elicits pride!
ask not what you can do for your country, but what your country can do for you
Turns out most of the world doesn’t like felon rapist liars.
'Merica does though.
Don’t forget they don’t like people who are best friends and love to party with pedos
Trump is the symptom not the disease
He’s a cancer, and it has spread.
wdym?
Our culture is trash and it finds trash to represent it.
Trump is a result of American culture, not driving it.
Trump is a representative of America, not an outsider.
Trump happened again secondary to the diseases of hate and greed, not in advance of.
To further expound: In a healthy political ecosystem, Trump would not be able to get anywhere near any political office. He would have been immediately voted down as the cruel joke that he is. It’s only because America is so evil and toxic that he was elected twice.
A fascist nation produces a fascist leader. Clearly the leader is the problem.
Capitalism produces fascism as its end result, period. The merger of state and corporate power is just the logical expansion of the selection of maximized profitablity over ethical behavior.
So every modern Western country is fascist?
They are steadily getting there. The far-right is gaining power EVERYWHERE.
“the diseases of hate and greed” - is found elsewhere too. Which is why Fascism is also on the rise in Europe and elsewhere.
Trump was the best we could do. He represents our citizens.
He represents the morons who voted for him and refused to vote against him.
that’s like 2/3 of the US tho :/
Is this really surprising to anyone?
Probably only hardcore MAGA. Actually probably not them because they wouldn’t believe an MSM article that claimed Trump was hurting the image of the USA, even if they could read
They probably believe it but think it’s because Trump is playing hardball and making them pay their fair share and that’s why they’re mad.
It is to me. That means the popularity came back after the Bush years and after Trump’s first term. It’ll come back after 2028 too because people have the memory of goldfish.
I think they love the hate. Because it’s the only emotion they get from anyone.
No, no, MAGAs keep insisting that the world finally respects us again!
To be fair. Respected and loved are two different things. I don’t think the rest of the world respects the US more than 1 year ago, just saying.
Respect? A LOT less.
And remember, respect is everything.
when US was popular in the world? can you call a bully the popular kid?
Basically the same way the douchey rich kid who’s tolerated because he’s got a Playstation AND an N64 is “popular”.
420 standing by.
You’d have to mad to want to go to the clown show Nazi pedo-nation.
But Trump said the world loves us?
By world he means Russia and US oligarchs.
