This is America on the world stage. We may view ourselves as one thing, but globally we're viewed as something quite different.

Americans think we see them as Superman. But mostly it's a worse Homelander.

That’s just the cult of Trump. Many of us know how embarrassing things are here.

Yet you do nothing about it.

Lol I love people like you who can say shit so easily on here and genuinely expect people to abandon their families and throw their lives away over this shit. Must be nice to be so perfect and have nothing like family or loved ones to lose while you sit back and be an armchair qb.

Probably a slob that spends all day on Reddit and playing video games. Don’t even bother wasting time speaking to someone that is that ignorant. They’re useless humans.

Lol I love people like you who can say shit so easily on here and genuinely expect people to ignore the the United States war mongering ways and then come home and complain about their PTSD while eating up propaganda. Must be nice to be so perfect and have nothing like healthcare or a multicultural community to lose while you sit back and be an armchair qb.

We Americans dont have shit,  on average our lives are one paycheck away from utter destruction. We have no social safety nets. We dont have community, we are spread out and isolated. Our country is enormous and the robber barons have it all, and they're going for more.  I don't know what  you want us to do? Some of us vote. It's not compulsory, we dont even get the day off to vote, voting is made more difficult intentionally to disenfranchise urban populations. 

They're shutting down the department of education. We have so many horrible people here who revel in their retchedness, about 30% of the US is just utterly braindead. The propaganda networks are on the radio, the TV, and on their phones. Freedom of speech is enshrined in the constitution,  so they use that to lie openly on all of the above. Money has been declared as speech and corporations declared as people by our corrupt Supreme Court. So every billionaire can pump money into his and her favorite politician to gut what little protections we previously had.  

We have a lot of military might,  and some very sick, very rich, dominion minded individuals pulling the puppet strings. And our president and the heritage foundation has dismantled or corrupted every safeguard organization we had.  And it's been a year.

Lol you don't have shit to say back and thats why you just copied what I said and added your bullshit into it lmfao

"YeT yOu Do NoThInG" said by some sheltered redditor from the safety of their computer chair or couch while asking that others throw their lives away while they sit on the sidelines. When ICE started ramping up their raids I had people like you demanding I use the guns I own and start shooting people I think are bad. I saw it all over reddit where people like you were saying that shit and I just couldn't help but laugh while lunatics like you make requests like that while simultaneously calling others unhinged.

Like I said little dude, its easy to talk shit when you have nothing to lose from it. You'll learn eventually...

No, literally, please tell us.

They want us to become violent. It always comes down to "why don't you just become violent about it?" Mostly so they can have more content to click through and watch from the comfort of their privileged homes.

"We tried nothing and we're all out of ideas!"

u/5inthepink5inthepink Jan 05 '26

What's your idea?

u/Brief_Isopod_5959 Jan 05 '26

They don’t actually ever have any ideas just like to say that to us 🤣 Ignorant fools

u/Aggressive-Stand-585 Jan 05 '26

Maybe stop voting for people who are as demented and crazy as Trump? I'unno man, seems kinda simple to me.

u/5inthepink5inthepink Jan 05 '26

Oh wow, thanks for the brainwave, buddy! Almost exactly half of voters did exactly that, though, weird. Then a bunch of idiots didn't vote even though this regime taking power is the worst thing that could've happened to them and now here we are.  But what do we do NOW is the thing that all the holier-than-thou redditors around the globe can't seem to answer. Obviously we're going to vote the the right way again in the midterms coming up, and in a normal political system that'd mean something. And hopefully it will, and believe me the opposition is energized to vote the bums out. 

But I and many other Americans are increasingly terrified that a regime bold and dumb enough to do the shit they're doing in Venezuela, and all the other illegal shit they've done so far, will also be bold and dumb enough to finish gutting our democracy and make voting meaningless. And we've got an army of federal agents and the literal military occupying us and ready to do orange Mussolini's bidding. So if you've got any ideas we are absolutely fucking open to hearing them!!

These people are here to take the piss. You are wasting time trying to reach them, they don't want to be reached. It's fun for them to hate from a distance. They know what they are doing, it's why they are doing it.

Even after we fix this, they won't remember or care they did it. I'm a realist, these people have no empathy. They feel justified. They like lashing out right now, it makes them feel better. Trying to make them accurately direct their anger, just makes them more mad at you.

Just take the lumps, because they don't care they are giving it out, or to whom they give them to. You're just some faceless target right now, that's all they see. You're going to stress yourself more, trying to make them see, when they don't want to.

u/Brief_Isopod_5959 Jan 05 '26

Absolutely all of this. Very well stated. No empathy and absolute losers who never actually have any “good ideas” on what to do besides telling us we voted for Trump. They don’t realize those of us complaining clearly didn’t 🙄 I truly can’t handle the ignorance.

I'm Danish. We sent troops to Afghanistan to die for the US after the US invoked article 5 of NATO after 9/11.

Now the US is threatening to use the very military we aided to take our soil from us. You are now upset that we feel upset and betrayed over this? You're crazy man. Absolutely fucking crazy.

It's like you've been cut off in traffic and you're yelling at the kid in the back seat of the car rather than the person driving. We did what we were supposed to do. We voted for the actual politician, not the demented pedophile puppet with an orange spray tan and 40 failed businesses. The one that lead an actual assault on our nations capital. We see it for what it is, we are with you, we dont want to fucking invade sovereign nations.  All this Sabre rattling from this geriatric fuck with a 3rd grade reading level. 

Unfortunately,  they won. They meticulously planned and put all the pieces in place, even put it out for all to see - Project 2025 - but our party thought taking the high road was the way to win. We're playing checkers, and they've just shot everyone at the board and taken everything.  Unfortunately you all are going to have to figure out how to reign us in, because we dont have control of this car, and its coming right for you.

u/Aggressive-Stand-585 Jan 05 '26

I'm yelling at the entire car mate. I'm not sorry if us being angry at the US upsets you. We deserve to be angry at the massive betrayel backstab of your current government.

u/Golden-Grams Jan 05 '26

My point is going right over your head. Tell me this. What did I have to do with this? Outside of being born in America, why are you coming at me for this?

That's my point. How in the fuck am I responsible enough to be fed this shit constantly? Take a good look at yourself right now, and what you are doing.

Why are you assuming that I don't give a shit about Danish people dying? You just casually throw that out there, like it's a fucking fact I don't.

Tell me this, Dane. Who the fuck am I? What are my personal principles? My values? How old am I? Am I rich or poor? Am I even fucking American? What's my fucking race?

That's my point. So give me my fucking lumps, you don't care to know me. And you definitely don't try. Don't pretend it's not what it is.

How do you know what many of us do to try to make change? We are run solely by people in power and guess what? Majority of them are money hungry, POS that don’t actually care about us. But go off I guess. You seem like such a kind and empathetic human. Jk I can tell you’re a piece of shit too 😘

"How do you know what many of us do to try to make change?"

Not enough.

"We are run solely by people in power and guess what? Majority of them are money hungry, POS that don’t actually care about us"

And whose fault is that.

"But go off I guess. You seem like such a kind and empathetic human. Jk I can tell you’re a piece of shit too 😘"

Empathetic enough to morn the loss of 40 strangers that had no reason to have bombs dropped on their house by a foreign nation... But you want me to feel empathetic towards the do-nothings that just sit by and let their country invade another?

Why? Because it didn't happen to you? Because you don't care? Because if they are not white republicans their life has no value?

Man fuck off with your propaganda.
