I have come to the conclusion that over half the country is just stupid. We saw this bad movie 8 years ago. So why in the world would you want to see it again

Oh, the pain is real. In the past few days, our new leader-elect has suggested that the USA should make a bid to acquire sovereign nations who have no interest in joining us. If they refuse, he would impose tariffs to destroy their economy. We are also renaming the Gulf of Mexico because the Gulf of America has a nice ring. There's not enough room in this thread for me to list the hundreds of issues with this fascist grifter. The ignorance is equal parts laughable and tragic.

Trump has shown us exactly who he is. That's no surprise. The tragedy is that over 50% of the American people see absolutely nothing wrong with electing a narcissistic charlatan to represent them. None of his outlandish actions were a deal breaker. This is on us. Enjoy the s**t show from afar.

Hard lessons are waiting for some of these fools. Hard lessons, indeed. They are so obsessed with anything that remotely resembles socialism that they never bothered to google the term "oligarchy".

But, hey, we have some tacky $899 gold plated "Inauguration Wrist Watches" for sale along with some hideous looking gold electoral map sneakers. Yep, that's right, our president also sells cheap, tacky MERCH. We are now officially functioning like a trailer park with nuclear weapons. Intellectualism is shunned and his right wing voters are happy and well rested.

How correct you are Watchchain. I fear for this country. He is a traitor who tried to overthrow our government and is out walking around when he should be in jail. He is no leader. I can't understand for the life of me why someone would vote for him

So….the recent treatment of the International Criminal Court, incendiary Middle Eastern policies, land-grab threats to Greenland and Panama, tariff threats to political and geographical allies (Canada, Mexico, EU), destabilisation of international trade, disregard for internationally established environmental consensus….
….is the USA now the World bad guy? Are you the baddies now?
Genuine question
