People don't even want to come to this country anymore.
It is sad what the people have let happen to this once-great nation.
So this is what they meant when they said, "Make America Great Again"?
How can the people ever reconcile their differences?

(79,372 posts)One third of the country endorses a ruthless vicious psychopath criminal as president.
Who is destroying Americans and the country. And is fine with being sold out to China and Russia.
One third simple doesn't care what happens to their country as long as they have cheap eggs.
One third believes in the US constitution, bill of rights, democracy, rule of law.
And leadership which works for the people.

That is just wrong. You got it right. Thank you.

(412 posts)One third were fine with Mad King George.
One third couldn't be bothered either way as long as they weren't personally inconvenienced.
One third put their lives and fortunes on the line for independence.
One third of the population can change the world if they are determined and willing to make the sacrifice.

1/3 of the drivers are assholes that believe no rules for them. If your 15 MPH over the speed limit is too slow for them, they ride your ass 2 feet back and wanna fight, shoot or kill you. The VA is great, you always leave feeling important. But the rage after encounters on the drive home at those, gotta be MAGAs , make you know, 1/3 of this country is fucked up, and I despise them. Fuck reaching across the fucking aisle to compromise with those sick hate, filled ass boils.
Had to drive it yesterday, gotta go back today. Damn them all. Then add seeing Veterans for Trump stickers on trucks in the parking lot . 1/3 of the trucks.
Living north of VA, any trip south through there is like Mad Max.
I will note even up around here I've had more bizarre road rage incidents occur the last 8 years.

(18,690 posts)It was so painful to be listening to BBC World Service and hear the anchors (or "presenters" in the UK) discussing the trip to Saudi Arabia, the free airplane... The BBC is very proper and mannered when it reports news, but you could almost hear the derision and contempt and bewilderment. And this is programming, as everyone knows, generated mostly out of London, our key partners during WW II. We've just celebrated the 80th year anniversary of the end of that war. They've played some clips of Winston Churchill. This is what we've ended up with. It's an abomination.

A number of others are trying to relocate out of red states to blue states.
But as some family is finding out, it is not easy to leave permanently with your money if you have some money.
They don't mind you going - just leave a bunch of your money behind or continue to pay US taxes.

Just wait until the k-word (equivalent to the n-word) starts getting bandied about by this worthless cohort of oxygen thieves.
