Americans run around moralizing while exploding everyone. They impose their views and politics into every country on earth. But if you criticized them for being idiots who allowed Trump to win, they tell you "you're not even American!" As if American stupidity doesn't affect the rest of the world. And this is the kind of shit I'm hearing from the American left now the side that was supposed to be smart and reasonable, and you know, not racist or xenophobic. But they've also gone toxic extreme as well. Americans are nuts.
Not from me. Anyone who voted for Trump or sat around to let him be elected is a fucking moron.
I learned in 2016 I had too much faith in my fellow citizens. There are many, many stupid people here.
I think there should be a major distinction between Democrats/neoliberals/however you want to classify them and "the American left"/progressives.
They often fall under the same tent because progressives do not have another substantial place in American politics, but I think these are 2 different groups with different beliefs and ideas.
