      It’s nice to be able to brag about how democratic your country is until the administration that your democracy put into power starts doing awful things. Then suddenly “please forgive us, this has nothing to do with us.”

        I have never once in my entire life bragged about American democracy, or said anything along the lines of “It can’t/won’t happen here.” Ever. You’re regurgitating old US government propaganda and you don’t even realize it.

          You’re regurgitating old US government propaganda and you don’t even realize it.

          Ironically, this is also “don’t blame us, it was our government.”

        You act as if I flaunt US democracy, which I didn’t, and like there’s only 1 party that we could’ve voted for, which there isn’t.

          There’s two parties you could have voted for, you put the other one in charge in the previous term and it didn’t help.

          The problem is that America is democratic and it’s getting the government that its voters are demanding.
