For the first time in my life I'm embarrassed to be an American.
Democracy, I'm glad to have known ya'.
NRM signing out.

How is it that majority of the US population has fallen prey to a dictator, con artist, racist, pathological liar?
In my opinion, 2 things: Money (Elon Musk) and white rural males do not want a woman president, let alone a black woman.
Money buys results, and racism.

Think of an American worker with three children returning from the weekly grocery shopping almost broke every time. Voters always blame the current government when something goes wrong.

They do not understand actual causal relationships.

Don't know or understand my country anymore. One in which believing any number of lies over a painful truth. Making excuses, overlooking facts, to be so filled with hate and anger. Placing the blame on others wrongfully ignoring the true culprit.

Thinking the country is now in hard times, going in the wrong direction. I ask this of them, when the country finally, really does experience a actual recession or inflation. How are you going to act then?

We don't get the country you want rather the country we deserve....

I don´t think anyone outside of the US can understand what the country has become.

I am SO glad to be living in Germany. I am in the process of taking on German citizenship; and if it wasn´t for the 2,300 USD fee, I would denounce my US citizenship the moment I have German citizenship.

Hmmm...I am a woman, I am non white and that's it?

It was enough for some of you, apparently.

Edit - the poster said two things or do you need new spectacles?

From my favorite Jazz reviewer

In 1933, the German people, in a free and fair election, voted for fascism. They were frustrated by their economic situation. It was their last free election for 12 years. They did it to themselves, and the world.

91 years later, the American experiment has largely come to an end. Democracy was a nice try but ultimately too good an idea for human beings. The sheep have spoken.

Have a miscarriage? Go to jail. Storm the capital? Get pardoned and be called a patriot.
Will those who complained about the rising cost of McDonald's mind if the Affordable Care Act becomes history?

Are the Arab-Americans in Michigan proud that they didn't vote for Harris? Now Netanyahu has no one to attempt to restrain him. Way to go. And as for Ukraine......

Are Latinos happy that they voted for the anti-abortion candidate? Do they look forward to racism being much more in the open and even some American citizens being deported because of their race? It will happen, enacted by those who don't even realize that Puerto Ricans are American citizens.

Make American Great Again? The last time that America was great was 1491.
Worried about food prices? You should worry about the upcoming shortage of farm workers.

Resist all you want but it’s too late. The Supreme Court will uphold everything.

Project 2025 is on its way. Don’t say you weren’t warned.

Bro,

Last week in went to Walmart and picked up my toilet paper, right ?

I don't know how long it takes me to use 9 Mega rolls. I would guess two months. The price had gone from $5.88 to $9.89, (of course I had to search for it).

The price of a gallon of gasoline swings, for no reason what-so-ever. It's not the president, the political party in charge. It's just greed and bullshit.
