When Americans see this, do they feel proud of their elected leader? I can tell you what the rest of the world thinks about him.
Most of us wake up hoping the news says he's dead.
I feel like he's a cringe dumb fuck who in multiple ways doesn't know he's losing to Persia
Fuck no, this is embarrassing and stupid.
As a Pennsylvanian I saw the writing on the wall leading up to the 2024 election. I grew up in a very conservative household, and my parents are still very pro-Trump. His reelection destroyed me, despite it seeming inevitable. How can a large chunk of this country not only not feel shame from this, but actively encourage and enjoy it?
Because your country is broken, and uncivilised
Stupidity is celebrated and worldliness and curiousity are viewed with fear and suspicion
Oh, and then there's the hatred...
But what do your parents say to those kind of posts? I'm genuinely interested. It's so bizarre to me.
1/3 of the country thinks he's the best thing to ever happen to America. They eat this stuff up.
1/3 of the country thinks he's somewhere between a national embarrassment and an existential threat to our constitutional democracy.
1/3 of the country is apathetic about politics and cannot be bothered to give a shit over way or the other.
And most all of the country can't afford to do anything since most are a couple paychecks from homelessness and depend on their employer for healthcare.
That last third are just as bad as the third who support him
When I see this, I feel profoundly confused. Also embarrassed.
