Not just American ones. We didn't vote for the man who started the war, and we still have to pay more for everything.
Must be the way Californians and New Yorkers feel in America, I guess.

Yes. Even the gentle and kind people here in California are full of anger and hatred at this point.
You should hear what these MAGA people say about the situation. My most memorable remark came from a relative I have in Idaho, who told me that she understood how hard it is for people like me (who oppose Trump), because she herself (a perpetually "persecuted" white Christian MAGA voter) lived through Obama's two terms.
That's how these amoral assholes see things. Delusion doesn't even begin to explain what's going on in this country to the red hatted lunatics.
To be fair to her, there was the War on Christmas, fought by replacing Santa on coffee cups with just red color. 🤣
Please don't downplay the war on Christmas. My friend, a wee cobbler elf, died after a drone strike obliterated a north pole factory retrofitted for small arms manufacturing during the war.
Was she put into a detention camp and separated from her family, maybe lose one to a mystery deportation.
This Texan didn't vote for the child rapist warmonger either. Fucking hate it here.
You are the hope the world will be a better place tomorrow. Blue Texas Forever.
Not me, I’m not buying shit right now. Fuck this economy, I’m not participating in it.
I would, but raising three schoolaged kids. Fuck me, never thought this would happen to the world, I was not prepared. Should have had kids 5 years earlier or later…
I scaled back to only necessities for the last 2/5ths of last year, I’m still spending as little as I can on things that aren’t necessary for surviving, but I will admit to having starting going out to like bars festivals and concerts for 2026 when I’m not too depressed to do so. And I 100% support everyone else trying to starve the beast as best they can, I’m also telling as many people as will listen to enjoy the things they can right now, because all of our lives are about to become much much more difficult for the foreseeable future
Complaining about fuel that's sitting at the equivalent of 55p a litre, in the UK it's almost £1.70 a litre for petrol.
You have to understand how awful our public transportation systems are and how close to broke like 75% of us already were
Nah, you gotta understand how fucking stupid, selfish, and god damned myopic our public in the aggregate is here. A completely mismanaged war of bald aggression that resulted in the double tap murder of 150 school children isn't sufficient to rile them--but paying 50 cents more a gallon at the pump and they'll declare a motherfucking fatwa.
That's why I hope gas prices will keep spiraling up, it's the only way Americans will ever learn
americans have always been selfish, it's baked into the culture at this point.
