It is not allies that are alienating USA, it's the other way around. Apparently USA believe they don't need allies, because they are acting hostile against everybody, even their closest allies, while being friendly to Russia!!
Neither USA or EU stand a chance against China alone, we need to cooperate, but USA is not cooperating they are being confrontational and undermining EU and just about every other ally even Canada which for decades has been the closest ally to USA, and helped USA every single time USA called for it. So has Denmark, yet USA threaten to take Greenland!!

Stop grouping the American people in with the President, most of us didn't vote for him.

Edit: The government is doing this, not us. The fucker rigged an election and Russian bots have given the deceptive impression that it's a larger percentage of people that support the president.

If you really think 40% of us voted for this shit, you're dumb enough to fall for Russian propaganda.

I visited the US (small town in NY) in 2022 and every other lawn had a bunch of small Trump flags. Not even a presidential election year.

I fully believe a large share of the country voted for him at this point. Doesn't mean that he's absolved of fuckery in swing states

Yeah, you visited some bumfuck small town, that's where they hide 🙄

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I mean yeah, but look how many of those towns there are

There are more land with its people voting republican, but that's population density, California has more population than 20+ states, but don't just visit those 20 red backwards ass states and be like: "See, 20 red state states vs one California"

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 days ago

That's true, but California itself also has a load of conservative small towns in the desert. The system for the senate is fucked tho
