This is gonna be very insensitive, but ever since Americans gave a well known rapist and resident creep the presidency in a clear victory, I kinda stopped giving a shit about em. Americans routinely shit on the same human values the rest of the free world aspires to. Just read the UN human rights, Republicans openly oppose most of what's written there and Democrats don't care much either.

I mean women dying horrifying deaths in Russia, India or China rarely make the news, why should America be any different? It's fucking sad, but apparently that's what the American people want. Who am I to impose my foreign way of life on em? I was clearly mistaken to belive that the US has anything in common with us.

Just be more accurate: it's about 25% of americans who are traitorous, backstabbing nazi cunts who voted for Trump. It's way not even close to half, to say nothing of all.

If this person was one of them, then yes, do save your sadness for elsewhere. Otherwise, it's like it happening to you.

Which means that less than 25% were willing to stand against the traitorous, backstabbing nazi cunts who voted for Trump.

I don't feel better about the situation

The wrong genocidal corporate stooge won.

The high horse is about to suffer a quadruple amputation.

By the very same logic the rest of the world allowing us to tread on it to our hearts content is equally at fault.

We never could have established this idiotic sense of superiority without dozens of, if not a clear hundred client states that willingly allowed our corporate vampires a nice suckle.

They don't call it the double Texan, it's the double Irish that our largest firms have used to skirt international and domestic taxation for decades.

We have more extra national military bases than domestic ones because so many nations were happy to cede their freedoms for security.

The pipers bill has been in the mail a long time.
