    No.

    Trump is the all American boy. The American dream, the real one, not the one they sell to you to work and bleed for them.

    It’s all the same game from the streets to the president. Most people are taught not to play it, so it plays them.

    The difference is that people are seeing it now. It was always there happening. If people don’t understand this then there really isn’t any hope.

    Put your faith in humanity, yourself, and the people close to you. Or else this will happen over and over again. No one is coming to save you. You can’t elect someone to save you.

      No.

      Yes, and emphatically so. If you cannot distinguish the difference between Donald Trump and what he’s currently doing, and all other presidents, then your head is planted firmly up your own ass.

        The difference is, Americans themselves are now affected by what Trump is doing so now it all suddenly matters.

        But while US was fucking countries around the world and you were not being directly affected, then it was ok.

        Thinking just like any good “conservative”.

          You sound like you’ve got your head shoved up your ass with a very specific bone to pick.

          Am Canadian, am uninterested in your pet theories.

          But while US was fucking countries around the world and you were not being directly affected, then it was ok.

          You may be unaware of current events. See my previous remark about being Canadian, and therefore uninterested in your turd of a theory.

          Thinking just like any good “conservative”.

          Based on how ganked your deductive reasoning skills are, I certainly hope you’re not in charge of anything important.

              I mean, thank you for making a fool out of yourself, instantly. My work here is done.

              Without a doubt, you are a hero to yourself in your version of reality. Rest easy after all of your hard “work”.

        It’s not terribly different, just with less focus on the optics and mildly more brazen.

        We invaded Iraq for oil, we’re gearing up to invade Venezuela for oil.

        We have been cruel and exploitative to undocumented migrants for quite some time, but now it’s just dialed up and a little extra racist.

        They’re just doing it all in a way that makes you feel gross, which you should, but having shame about the evil being done doesn’t change the material harm.

          Compared to heavy fog, a tsunami is only mildly more wet.

          I swear to fuck, it’s like you drank paint as a kid.

              Care to tell me why I’m wrong, rather than make a silly analogy and call me names?

              If you seriously cannot detect any differences between the current state of global affairs, and the state of global affairs under any other presidential administration over the durationmof your life, then no.

              No, I don’t not care to tell you why you’re wrong.

              And are they really insults when they’re accurate?

                Things have basically always been getting worse over every administration. Usually just quicker over republican admins.

                It’s OK. You don’t need examples or data when you have vibes. I wish you well regardless.

                  Dude is full of shit. The US government had funded coup detats, started illegal wars, and essentially raped other countries all for corporate business interests since the beginning. Its enslaved, genocided, and illegally jailed its own citizens for decades. Its affecting white middle class America now so suddenly its different
