Fuck you fascist. JD, please do you magic.

Comment on Make America Great!

Spicy take incoming: it’s pretty great right now. We’re a continental country rich in natural resources. We’re very friendly with our only two major neighbors, Canada and Mexico, so tits hard to imagine us being attacked over a land border. We have tropical beaches and snow sports 365 days a year, and they all speak English and take dollars. Our universities are some of the best in the world and graduate Nobel Prize winners in arts, sciences, and mathematics. Yes the current American experience sucks but for a lot of people it always has and has even sucked worse. We’ve experienced massive civil rights expansions over the past three generations.
If you think America sucks you’re right, and always were, and always will be, but if you can’t think of anything nice to say about it then you’re just not paying attention.

The president is the leader of one branch of our three branch system. Cooperation between Mexico and the USA and Canada and the USA is generational and extends across various diverse dimensions like scientific cooperation, infrastructure protection, border security and law enforcement, fire protection and prevention, trade, and food safety, among others. It would take much much more than one presidential administration much longer than four years to make meaningful progress toward the goal of destroying all these cooperative agreements at all levels of government that took generations to build.
Donald Trump sucks but he isn’t America, nor should we be judging any country by the actions of its corrupt billionaire leadership.

The tone from many of us, is that if he’s able to cause so much havoc, un checked, that the US is now seen no longer as an ally, but a cautious acquaintance.

Brother, I dont think you can call anyone that you attempt to intimidate your friend… and our relationship with those two countries mat well be generational, but they will never forget what we have done to them because while it may just be Trump making the mistakes, its America that has shown what we are willing to put up with even if it was only a plurality that got this asswipe elected. America, as it stands, is untrustworthy.
