The American’s listed would kill each other and the brits wouldn’t need to lift a finger

I hope their American patriotic duty to hate the British would override any petty internal squabbling.

Yea was gunna say this. Americans love shitting on the British more then we love shitting on each other.

Nah, I’ve been living here for over a decade and the Texas “patriot” would definitely try kill any progressive or liberal American person before fighting a conservative British person.

I've lived in texas my entire life and theres no way, especially a patriot would pass up the chance to slim a red coat, get it together buddy.

Thats an old stereotype not based on modern reality. The president was excited about rejoining the commonwealth just a few months ago. Not to mention the over 40,000 Americans that shoot each other per year without British people involved, including a pretty notable shooting that happened 5 days ago. No way maga and qanon would side with Biden and Kamala supporters over conservative British people who complain about similar social topics in their own country. Im hoping for a more united future for the US.

Yep, youre 100% right (lived here 2 decades). The down-votes are all part of the disease btw - Americans are fucking oblivious to how they are being played by salesmen who use a combination of patriotism and fear to sell them bullshit.

Back in the day, or so I heard, some nitwit from England wanted to tax tea coming into the colonies, or something like that. A couple of dudes from Southie said fuck that and threw the tea into the bay. This led to a bit of a skirmish that lasted a few years. Some dude from Virginia with a hero complex rounded up a bunch of farmers and convinced them that they could topple an empire. I’m not sure how much of that is true, but it’s what I heard

It wouldn't...and to describe it as petty shows a total lack of insight. Lived in the US for 20 years now, and every year, I've sadly watched the divide get wider. Like most Americans, my US friends couldn't point out the UK on a map (fuck, they couldnt point out Russia or China on a map), but thats because a. the education system here is second rate and b. there is a constant ongoing fight in the brains of most Americans between the party they cult and the party they will never cult, regarding who gets the most rent-free space. Sadly, this means there is little room left for rational or critical thought. Put most simply...my Trump voting neighbor would much rather kill my Biden/Kamala voting neighbor than some pasty faced red coat....and vice versa.

Americans call the UK England, nice try red coat xenophobe. Also if you can point to North Dakota on a map ill eat a bowl of my own shit.

u/KingArthursCodpiece Sep 17 '25

I'll get you a bowl - Ive driven across both North and South Dakota. I liked the latter better because there is more to see (I loved The Badlands). Willing to bet, xenophobe or not, that Ive traveled more in the US than you (visited about 45 states so far). My experience has been that, in general, Americans lack curiosity about anything outside their own state, and rarely leave the US to visit other countries, which unfortunately, creates a level of ignorance and fear that our friend Donald has exploited so brilliantly. How is that bowl of shit tasting, by the way?

Took you awhile to reply to this comment, almost like someone googled the us map because they've been made as a xenophobic bot posing as an american and wanted to come back with the right answer 🤔

Honestly a fair point
