Because a plurality of Americans are equally crass, ignorant, selfish, and evil.
There are a metric f*** ton of people in the United States who just want to use the n-word.
Hes the perfect representation of the american spirit
Voter fraud. Social media mass manipulation. Scapegoating.
Old tricks but still work.
Fox has people brainwashed.
Because he's peak american.you may not like it, but he's the embodiment of what the world thinks when they hear america.
I'm old enough to remember the America of best education, top science and engineering in the world. The America that proudly went to the Moon. The America that developed the Internet on public money.
I guess I can feel the contrast with the idiocracy of today a bit more keenly than younger folks who have never known anything else.
I am honestly sad that I never got to experience that America. My perspective of being a mid 20s American is that of a longing for the America that was all the things you listed. Not a kleptocratic oligarchy held up by social media misinformation and straight idiocy. Ever since the mid 70s: following all the debt caused by the Vietnam War, the disastrous consequences of Reaganomics, and deregulation of finance; income inequality has gotten to a point of insanity.
I am honestly sad that I never got to experience that America
I'm so sorry. But it was like that. Sure it had its many, many flaws. But it was a place where studying hard, making it to and through college and being educated were valued more highly than being a vocal cretin, where science was respected, craziness was fringe, religion was retreating, working hard gave you a real - albeit small - chance at striking it rich, and where you could expect your children to be better off than you if you did everything right.
All that is gone. I really feel sorry for you and those of your generation who never got to experience the "good" America - at least good if you were white...
I am just jealous of how many older folks got their college education for free or just hundreds of dollars 50+ years ago…
Yes, we gen-Xers got a lot of things for cheap or free, and we had a lot more opportunities for sure - and our boomer parents even more so - because we rode the tail end of the post-WW2 economic boom.
I totally get the jealousy. What I don't get is the hate: I can't count the number of young people who actually hate me because I happen to have had it better than them. Sorry... It's not like I planned it or anything, and I didn't set out to ruin anybody's life after me neither.
I'll have you know tuition was about $1500 to $1800 per year when I was university. I maxed out my loans and I had to pay $105/month for 10 years to pay back that $10k.ny interest rate was something like 9%.
Which I always assumed was a hyperbolic stereotype based on things like the “Florida man” phenomenon.
Turns out it is a reality based description.
Because American voters are stupid. And don't care enough about their own country. But mostly stupid.
And because they cheated and were allowed to get away with it
Yes, because a few people are paid off, and the balance of the people are too stupid.
American voters are stupid
Democracy is when you have two options, a wrong candidate and a right candidate. And the elections process simply an IQ test

Republicans got desperate. They also only vote R.
He represents half the country.
Congress is full of these fuckers. I don't see why the presidency is special

Ha ha ha, I love Walz:
Walz responded to Trump’s vicious attack by questioning the president’s own mental state.
“Release the MRI results,” Walz wrote on X, referring to the results of Trump’s latest medical checkup, which he touted at the time as “perfect.”
“Seriously Retarded”, you say, an ableist slur, and a self confession simultaneously, coming from someone exhibiting increasing signs of dementia.
I don't understand why people with power or a platform don't just literally make fun of him more with playground insults. Like dumdum donny or stupid brain hairpiece or something. He's so thin skinned he'd spend all his time responding to insults rather than fuck up the country more.
“Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for ‘prey’ as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone”
I've never met a Somali that wasn't a friendly sort having lived here my whole life. Had one bring in some of these pretty awesome dumpling things called sambusa(?) once to work just cause reasons. Very chill bunch far as I've ever seen.
Yup, sambusa. They're similar to samosas that you get in various forms all over South and South-East Asia. Delicious stuff.
It's funny how conservatives the world over trot out the same tired conspiracy theories. The conservative parties in Australia have regularly tried out the 'African gangs' idea without much success.
Trump doesn’t even understand elementary school math
Every time I see a post from this moron I lose even more respect for the mouth breathers that voted for him.
No, no, you see, when you go to buy medication now, the hospital pays you! Thanks Mr. Trump!
Just a reminder that whilst Trump is blocking migrants from "poor" countries, the architect and participants of 9/11 were all from Saudi Arabia, one of the wealthiest nations on Earth.
Silly, they're not immigrants if they're rich!

Projection.
Drumpf is now fearing that the talk is right and he is mentally disabled.
I doubt he can admit his flaws to himself, let alone others
He projects everything. That's how you know what's on his mind at a given moment.
Gotta give my support to Tim Walz and Ilhan Omar, got it.
That inbred, diaper-wearing dementia patient has no fucking business talking about anything.
❌Thanksgiving
✔️Hatespewing
Why does anyone have any respect for the office of the president?
It's been a joke for quite sometime already.
We should kill the Internet.
When Thanksgiving became Insultgiving!
