    Many citizens are cracked but some of us are just people like any other country’s citizens. Don’t paint with such a broad brush, it’s intellectually dishonest.

      Are you, as an American,really trying to give a lesson in intellectual dishonesty?

      Y’all elected Trump twice. This time with Elon Musk as prime minister. Spare me the theatrics. Go fix your country if you’re as righteous as you claim. That’s what a good citizen would do.

        Why deny a persons critique based solely on their nationality?

        Also why do you think we need to fix our country before discussing honesty with someone online?

        To me it reads as racist.

        What would you have us do? The election was rigged, and the rule of law has been completely dismantled. Citizens who disagree are being disappeared by ICE. We’re all broke, and decades of union-busting means we have no power in the workplace. People are protesting despite it all. Loudly. Our media just isn’t covering it.

        And need I remind you, until trump started waving his dick around, you very nearly had your own maple-flavored fascism. And may yet. Except you already gave up your right to bear arms, so you can’t even fight back when it happens.
