I love how Americans can always see themselves as a victim.
Yes you have handcuffs around every wrist you’ve had access to in the past century, but in this day and age even your handcuffs are outsourced.
Honestly America doesnt actually produce anything but IP laws these days.
And ya know other countries might not share your lack of education and realise its 1000% cheaper to simply just bypass the bully in the room.
I never said the word victim, but since you brought it up, 50% of the US are victims to this. A large number of us were actively fighting against this outcome and lost. We have been deciding what to do next, and many educated people are in the process of leaving the country. Those without that ability are stuck to suffer under the current conditions.

Except Trump has finally made every other country in the world question why we don’t just cut the rope. I think the rope will be cut if Trump continues to stay in office.

Definitely, but it takes a while to chop through a thick rope like that. If we sink too fast, a lot of other countries are screwed.

I think with time the rope will be inevitably cut no matter what at this point. I guess we’ll see.
