    You assumed I was American and supported a certain political party. Did you forget?

      No such assumption or claim was made at any time, please pay attention!

      YOU were in a thread about US politics and President Trump, and acted like you don’t know what “our” means in that context.

      You assumed that I was making an assumption. Don’t do that. If you did this in public, you would be treated with disdain in any civilized company.

      A group of people are talking, you overhear “Let’s go to our favorite restaurant!”

      You interject “It’s not MY favorite restaurant, don’t make assumptions.”

      The speaker looks at you with contempt. “I wasn’t talking to you”.

        A thread about US politics on a worldwide facing thing called the internet. On a platform that is by design decentralised.

        You cannot fathom that this isn’t a restaurant, it’s the internet and people on the internet are from all over the world.

        Even now you’re doubling and tripling down acting like I’ve interrupted some private discussion with your friends because the alternative makes you look incredibly silly.

          No “private conversation with my friends” was interrupted. A public conversation was interrupted rudely, to the benefit of absolutely no one.

          You don’t like my example, fine. Still, should you do this in public ANYWHERE on earth, you will be looked at with distaste.

          I eagerly await you continuing to defend your lack of civility, because that’s what impolite people do.

          Nobody holding a conversation here (or anywhere) will ever accommodate you, you will always feel left out and ostracized. Not because of where you are from, but because of what you are.

          I should have responded to your contribution with “no shit”, and this is my mistake.

          So, in closing, “People from other countries can’t vote for a US president? No fucking shit.”
