President Trump ripped Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as “seriously retarded” – and suggested Rep. Ilhan Omar “probably came into the USA illegally” – in a rage-filled Thanksgiving message about immigration.

How a man this crass managed to be President twice, I’ll never know. What a fucking disgrace…
Because a plurality of Americans are equally crass, ignorant, selfish, and evil.
There are a metric f*** ton of people in the United States who just want to use the n-word.

That’s not patriotism. They’re nationalists. That they don’t know the difference makes it even worse.

If you refer to what they understand, you can’t use any word. If they don’t like something, it’s socialism. If they hate it, it’s communism. It’s woke, it’s liberal, it’s whatever the hell word they can remember from being indoctrinated You can’t lower yourself to their level and still be understandable by normal human beings.
Patriotism is nationalism.
Did you check? Because it isn’t.
With respect, but I really don’t think we’ve been HERE before. New laws will be needed, if we survive this.

Hes the perfect representation of the american spirit
Voter fraud. Social media mass manipulation. Scapegoating.
Old tricks but still work.
Fox has people brainwashed.
Because he’s peak american.you may not like it, but he’s the embodiment of what the world thinks when they hear america.
I’m old enough to remember the America of best education, top science and engineering in the world. The America that proudly went to the Moon. The America that developed the Internet on public money.
I guess I can feel the contrast with the idiocracy of today a bit more keenly than younger folks who have never known anything else.
I am honestly sad that I never got to experience that America. My perspective of being a mid 20s American is that of a longing for the America that was all the things you listed. Not a kleptocratic oligarchy held up by social media misinformation and straight idiocy. Ever since the mid 70s: following all the debt caused by the Vietnam War, the disastrous consequences of Reaganomics, and deregulation of finance; income inequality has gotten to a point of insanity.
I’m so sorry. But it was like that. Sure it had its many, many flaws. But it was a place where studying hard, making it to and through college and being educated were valued more highly than being a vocal cretin, where science was respected, craziness was fringe, religion was retreating, working hard gave you a real - albeit small - chance at striking it rich, and where you could expect your children to be better off than you if you did everything right.
All that is gone. I really feel sorry for you and those of your generation who never got to experience the “good” America - at least good if you were white…
I am just jealous of how many older folks got their college education for free or just hundreds of dollars 50+ years ago…
Yes, we gen-Xers got a lot of things for cheap or free, and we had a lot more opportunities for sure - and our boomer parents even more so - because we rode the tail end of the post-WW2 economic boom.
I totally get the jealousy. What I don’t get is the hate: I can’t count the number of young people who actually hate me because I happen to have had it better than them. Sorry… It’s not like I planned it or anything, and I didn’t set out to ruin anybody’s life after me neither.
Which I always assumed was a hyperbolic stereotype based on things like the “Florida man” phenomenon.
Turns out it is a reality based description.
Because American voters are stupid. And don’t care enough about their own country. But mostly stupid.
And because they cheated and were allowed to get away with it
Yes, because a few people are paid off, and the balance of the people are too stupid.
It’s the way Americans are bred. Bovine docility to their masters, is in their genes.
Democracy is when you have two options, a wrong candidate and a right candidate. And the elections process simply an IQ test
Republicans got desperate. They also only vote R.
He represents half the country.
Congress is full of these fuckers. I don’t see why the presidency is special
Remember that they were all elected - congresscritters and POTUS alike. That should tell you something about the quality of the electorate.
Coke or Pepsi. Choose your plutocrat
