Comment on Will the next president of America have to do a world wide apology tour for this administration? Kind of like celebs do when they get their ass in a sling.

As a Canadian, an "apology tour" would feel like this to me.

If the next administration wants forgiveness it'll have to show real progress on fixing America's broken system of government and its broken culture. That'll take longer than four years so the next administration should not expect forgiveness. The best it can hope for is to get started on eventual forgiveness.

In the meantime we need to keep diversifying away from America and building defenses against them because there's no reason to extend the benefit of the doubt. They elected not-Trump after the previous time Trump was elected and where did that lead them? Back to Trump.

Exactly this. The whole “RAH RAH MURICA IS THE BEST” overly nationalistic mentality America has is killing it. When they refuse to recognize their country’s problems and deflect and attack when faced with criticism, it prevents them from addressing those problems until they’re too big to ignore. It’s nuts how many people in America are living in trailers at astounding levels of poverty, yet they are ferociously loyal to a country and party that doesn’t give a single flying fuck about them or the 12 American flags flying amongst all the junk and garbage strewn about the lawn.
