Distill every shitty thing about every caricature about america and you get trump. If you believe in democracy, then this is what the American people wanted, or allowed to happen. For better or worse, it is what it is. No, I dont like that they're now trying to drag the rest of us into their muck with them, but hey, its america. Hopefully other countries will reduce their dependence on the us and strengthen themselves with their allies and come out stronger. But the stink will be with us for a while.
As George Carlin said
It's not about one politician. He got in but let's be real, if it wasn't him it'd be someone else. The people wanted this. They voted for it. Hoodwinked or no, they wanted a selfish ignorant leader for selfish ignorant reasons.
Our democracy has been pointing to this for decades. If anything, this election showed me what us Americans are actually like.
It's gotten to the point where their ignorance and apathy now affect people literally on the other side of the world.
I'm curious, where are you from?
Malaysia. Literally the other side of the world.
I mean they said they're from the US in the last sentence.
They may have just meant the US as they wrote “the us” in lowercase in the sentence just prior.
They also referred to other countries as "their" and for your theory to work they would've had to leave out the entire word "the" witch even with auto correct is hard to do. I'll place a bet with you. If they respond with where they're from and it is the US, you have to say something nice about Trump. I'll do the same if they respond that they are not from the US. Neither of us actually wins but at least the winner doesn't lose lol
Go ahead. I'm waiting. And it's 'which', not 'witch'.
I hate when people do this. You're not special. There's no reason for you to chime in like that when OP specifically asked for non-westrrn opinions. That means they especially don't want an Americans opinion.
You're a dumbass. I'm Malaysian. Non western enough for you?
I hate it when people on the internet make broad assumptions about a person, thinking they're unusually intelligent or something.
Oh, is that why all of your comments every day all day long are in posts about US politics?
Give me a break. Does everyone in Malaysia have an obsession with America, or are you the poster child?
You must be the gifted one. I guess only Americans care about their politics enough to recognize the shitstorm that is brewing over there.
Educated in the US, if it means anything to your feeble intellect.
Americans don't care about our politics anywhere near as much as you do.
I don't believe for a second you're not American. Either way it's kinda pathetic, tbh.
I don't believe for a second you're not a raging moron. You probably also believe in space Jesus.
What are you taking about?
"Hurrdurr random bullshit go!"
If you're going to act like a child, I'm outta here. Enjoy your evening.
You're the one not reasoning well. Must be your education system failing. I'm saying I'm Malaysian and you're acting like somehow you know better. Fuck off. We won't miss you. And it's about 11am here you lunatic.
