    The way things are going, it’s getting harder and harder to see the good in America. I know not everyone is like what we see in the news, but there’s clearly enough to allow things to keep happening. I feel sorry for the regular people in America.

      Yeah, I feel like I have to add in a disclaimer now whenever I tell someone I’m American. ‘Oh and btw Fuck Trump!’ lol

      It is a very slim minority of very loud people who are actually evil, who have inveigled a regrettably large number of people who are not necessarily evil but are short slighted and easily manipulated into acting against their own self interest.

      Being an American does kinda suck these days though as a result.

        I never understand this view because most people I know are absent from any thought aside from consuming and materialistic escapism. Basically no one I know doesn’t support trump.

        Ignorance is evil. It doesn’t take education to be a basic decent human being.
