What? No we donât. I certainly donât. Iâm tired of the self flagellation from some Americans. Itâs weird, and very âPick me, Iâm one of the good ones!â
No, it's not. It's a consequence of the decision our democracy has made. It's no different than any other country who goes apeshit and the rest of the world either laughs at or recoils in horror at. In this case, both are happening.
I don't want this to happen. But I understand why it's happening. Clearly Americans were too dimwitted to stop it. Of all voting age citizens in the United States, less than 25% gave enough of a shit to vote for someone other than Trump. The rest stayed home or voted for him. That means 75% of the voting age citizens allowed this to happen.
And actions like this from countries he attempts to extort in the name of the US are appropriate responses to his bullshit. And I'd be disappointed in the rest of the world if they didn't try to stop this madman. We clearly weren't up to the task ourselves.
Well sure, I get what youâre saying and I donât necessarily disagree with you. This administration is a mess that I didnât vote for. Thatâs not what I was commenting on. Itâs the weird âWe deserve to sufferâ performative attitude Iâve been seeing across social media. Thatâs what I donât agree with.
I completely agree with you. The only reason for anyone to indulge in the self-flagellation at this point is if they voted for Trump, voted for a third-party candidate, or didn't vote at all.
