    Where I live there are only two opinions about USA:

    1. USA is shiny utopia where everyone is rich, and no hardship can be found.

    2. USA is a dumpster fire no different from Russia or China.

    American natives are just a funky idea from fantasy land for both sides.

        Their treatment of protestors or anyone deemed ‘dissident’

        Good solar and renewable energy policies though (and fastest developing fusion reactor experiments on the planet)

            Wasn’t it more because his exploitative practices made it so he could hoard all that (potato tomato, I know, but still, I’d call billionaireism with a bit of fraud worse than just the hoarding)

                I’m quite a fan of the idea that pasing 10mil income/net worth awards them with a “congratulations you won, you have enough to live on for the rest of your life while still leaving money for your kids. Everything you make past this point goes towards hospitals, schools and the country’s infrastructure.” Certificate and a plaque that goes on everything they’ve funded.
