Our country gerrymanders districts, purges voters, and makes last minute changes to voting id requirements and then allows groups of people to question the validity of your ballot and have it thrown out so it doesn't count. Our elections have not been the voice of the people for a long time, but the will of a party willing to sacrifice democracy to stay in power.
Then do something about it
No country that isn’t fucking deranged holds random citizens accountable for the actions of a president they may not have even voted for, wtf are you even talking about.
How many iraqi and afghan civilians paid the price for how America felt about their leaders? How many Venezuelans?
You need to pull your head out of your ass and realize that it's MOSTLY innocent civilians that pay the price for this shit, your just used to being the ones doing it.
The USA is screwing the whole world extremely hard. Many countries that didn't have a say in the US elections are now being happily fucked by Mango Hitler.
Don't expect those countries to be happy with any american person they see. Is it unfair? Absolutely? But the only ones responsible for what's happening are the Usonians, either by having voted for him or by not stopping him.
Yeah I have no illusions about people being dicks to random Americans they encounter, that’s how people work. But that’s not what “you can expect to be personally held accountable for your actions the second you leave your borders.” means. That sounds like they’re expecting the fucking ICC to swoop in and arrest people for not burning shit down and trying to kill politicians, which is fucknut crazy.
No, I'm expecting Americans to get curb stomped when they walk into the wrong neighborhood.
My mother was adopted, and her non-biological grandmother was a holocaust survivor.
I was always confused by how much she hated all Germans and German immigrants, regardless of age, or if their family had immigrated before the war. Most of them surely didn't support the nazi party in any way, and the vast majority I knew of were born after 1950.
I understand the mindset a little better now, I think. Unfortunately in this instance, I'm the German that didn't support the nazi party and wanted to get out of Germany in the 30s. But I get why any Jewish person would hate me.
