Comment on I am an American. I used to be proud of my country. Now it feels like a turd circling the drain. Is there anything going on behind the scene that America is actually doing good in?

  This sentiment gives me the most hope. I’ve long held the sentiment that a great prolonged pain is what we all needed to break the cycle.

  I don’t want it to end so soon or we’ll fall yet again into old habits. Then we would’ve learnt nothing.

  Let the modern PedoNazis keep pushing the knife so the right people feel the pain and finally also understand the consequences of stupidity in voting. The conservative voter is incapable of empathy and understands nothing else but personal suffering.

    Pretty much. The American public needs to be reminded of what happens when we let corporate power grow unchecked and fall for the lies of demagogues.
