    I’ve always wondered in those gray, dystopian movies with smog filled skies, smoke stacks, military forces, and people behind fences: how could they let it get that far?

    I never even considered how quickly it could happen.

        The rest of the world has been watching you walk blindly down this path for three or four decades. We warned you, repeatedly, and received shitty, belligerent flag-waving in response.

        Nobody literate outside the US is at all surprised by where you have found yourself (though we are a little shocked by how easily the decent people among you are rolling over and taking it). Trump is perhaps not the LEAST of your problems, but he’s not the cause, either.

          god you anti-american losers are so fucking annoying. You are not unique and neither are your countries. They do all the same shit as America. It’s just popular to hate on Americans lmfao. Like can you stop being a fucking loser for just a second? Why are you belittling this person you know nothing about? Because they’re American? They’re literally on your side.

          Fuck America. Fuck an unfathomably large percentage of Americans. But to just lay into someone with some “told you so” smug attitude like your own shit doesn’t stink? Shut the fuck up and do something useful, you useless ineffective twat. Christ.
