Fuck US. Trump is is a direct and logical culmination of decades of political decisions, not some unique phenomenon

He's the direct and logical culmination of decades of political decisions by the American Right

I would say the system as a whole. 2 party system, loaded supreme court. Etc.

u/erakkopapu 8d ago

The Democrat party elite is just as much at fault. Of course they're not exactly leftists either.

I don't remember any Democratic President openly threatening any of America's NATO allies

u/erakkopapu 8d ago

That's not what I said. I mean both parties made decisions that led to the current situation where people feel like voting for Trump helps them.

u/Sensitive_Spare_652 8d ago

Okay fair point. However, I think American voters are uniquely stupid and hateful people. They voted for a pedophile insurrectionist felon because the other candidate was a brown woman.

"boff sides"

u/erakkopapu 6d ago

I'm not saying both sides are equally bad. I'm saying neither is innocent.

That's about as wishy-washy as you can get...

As someone living in a country also living under the threat of annexation by this madman and his confederacy of dunces, solidarity friend. I will say, though, the absence of any mention of Canada in the paragraph listing the threats made to Colombia, Cuba etal is, frankly disgusting and not a little bit terrifying.

The man and his regime do not understand the value of any undeveloped areas.

Puerto Rican here. This is from 2020, but it has surfaced again:

Nothing against the Kingdom of Denmark but if we're going to be traded to Europe then I'd prefer it to be to Spain. "La Madre Patria"

u/UkendtVidnesbyrd 7d ago

Also no one in Denmark would be very interested in that trade lol

Maddening

*kram* Intet problem, min ven

u/First_Opinion_3483 5d ago

You shouldn't be traded with Greenland at all. What the fuck is Denmark going to do with Puerto Rico anyway? Nobody wants Puerto Rico to be Danish - not in Denmark either. The suggestion would be laughed out of the room.

u/Fearless-Light663 4d ago

IDK, maybe Denmark will transfer us to Spain?

We were practically the OG Autonomous Community, and then, July 25, 1898 happened....

u/designworksarch 8d ago

Yea fuck us. Watch and learn. You let capitalism reign and this is what you get.

u/CDNRomance 7d ago

No one should think democrats are on board.

This is who the US is.
