“Putin is behind this, he literally spends 10b$ in orange makeup every tuesday/thursday/saturday so he can play Trump, on Monday he plays himself and occasionally on Sundays to blow off some steam he plays Kim!”

Reason: This anti-American trend in non-political communities needs to stop. Political content outside of political channels sucks in general.Don’t be a shitty country if you don’t want to by hated by every single person in the planet.
to be fair; we haven’t been in control of this country for a few decades now.
I don’t know who “we” is, but trump won two elections, non consecutive, and had positive approval for several months of his second term.
Because not voting trump is going to fix things?
It for sure won’t make them worse
then do something. the fascists certainly are.
Nooooo not my heckin Americerino, stop being mean to my waifu

In fact I don’t see a russian flag, I see a hammer and a sickle.
Because it doesn’t try to represent Russia.
The H&S is symbolic of Marxism (usually Marxism-Leninism or ML-derived ideologies), not Russia.
Because it’s the symbol of communists around the world?
I would argue that he isn’t that American. He is a parody of America, he is every joke people made about America over the years turned literal
na, he’s the us without the mask
Except Americans voted him into office. Twice.
he was elected twice, sure, but in the first case, he lost the popular vote by about 3 million votes, and in both case, he didn’t get a majority, and the majority of americans didn’t vote either way at all.
it’s bad, but no matter how you slice it, trump voters make up less than a quarter of the US population.
and why do you think people were making those jokes?
…Ya know, countries NOT founded on genocide and slavery seem to be the minority.
There’s like < 10 current countries founded on settler colonialism.
The US, Canada, Israel, Australia, New Zealand are the main ones
What about like all of latin america? Where they not colanised by spain?
There’s a lot of marxist debate over this, but the general view is best shown by this phrase:
“When the Spanish came to the americas, they demanded the peoples to become christians. When the English came, they wiped them out.”
Even the Spanish Queen Isabella in the 1500s after Columbus’s voyages demanded that the indigenous peoples be considered subjects with full rights. The Spanish never tried to systematically wipe out the indigenous in the same way the english did.
And by the time of Bolivar, a big chunk of Latin Americans were, although christian, supportive of indigenous resistance, and slave rebellions like in haiti. At the same time presidents in the US were decrying the haitian revolution and carrying out the largest scale genocide of our time.
They’re not, Americans just assume everyone else is as bad as them.
Name a single country that doesn’t have blood on its hands.
Pretty much every country lol. Why do you impute the values of like 10 imperialist capitalist countries on the other 190?
You’re aggressively motte-and-baileying
Without the blood of millions, cast in bondage and servitude, treated as animals? Like, almost all of them dude
The US Empire is a settler-colony.
This is wrong and cope
