    The fuck is wrong with Americans?

    If any other president had said the things he said over the past couple of months, the country would have exploded and a president either legally or through mass protest removed from office.

    What’s so special about this orange nutjob?

      There have been tons of massive protests, the average American doesn’t support this crap and they’re doing what they can

      The question should be the fuck is wrong with America’s police officers, service members, judges, and lawmakers and other elected officials

        He doesn’t care about your protests. He literally created a video of himself shitting on them and declaring himself king. It works in functioning democracies, but walking down the street with a sign will not stop a fascist intent on absolute power.

      Nothing is special about Trump. The American people are special. I know cause I’m one of them. Fuck this place. I love my country but fuck this place and all the narcissistic scumbags that live here.

      We are bathed in a Douglas Adams SEP field.

      No one will do anything if is or might be Someone Else’s Problem.

      it’s a bad combination of lazy, cowardly

      He has done it so much and gotten away with it, it’s been normalized.

      January 6th (aka, the insurrection) should have been a wake up call for everyone. A lot of people don’t care about their country or God or whatever else they claim. Many just care about community.

      What’s so special about this orange nutjob?

      Nothing, really. He’s not doing anything other piece of trash authoritarians haven’t done before. And he’s not doing it as effectively as many of them did.

      What’s special is that we live in a country whose populace is so ignorant and hateful that a high enough percentage of the population supports this basic ass bitch because he says basic ass hateful shit that he has remained protected by them.

      The issue isn’t Trump. Our society could have easily kept him just a whiny little rich bitch like all the other whiny little rich bitches. The issue is our society because we didn’t.

      Believe me. There is nothing special about this loser.

        There is nothing special about him. Assholes like him are a dime a dozen.

        The real issue is generations of brainwashing and propaganda. On a micro scale we are individuals with free will and personal responsibility. But on a macro scale, when we are looking at the population as a whole, it’s so compleatly beyond people just being bad. They are like this because they have been conditioned to be like this. Taught to be like this. Turned into this.

        I’m not saying that people are not responsible for their choices and actions. I am saying that the problem is so widespread that the we need to address the cause and not get stuck at just being mad at and blaming the individual.

        American society now is the result of a fuck ton of social engineering by the wealthy elite trying to extract as much work and money out of the world as possible. We are living in the capitalist dream right now.
