I'll actively try to avoid that. There's been a time in which I thought it could have been interesting to visit that country, but the time has passed.
It's so sad. We have a beautiful country and most people are very nice.
I guess so, but recent news aren't exactly inspiring. I'm really sorry for you (and I say that from an EU country with shitty politicians as well).
Got to be really deranged to vote for a candidate that ran on a platform of revenge and hate, and there's at the minimum 70 million of those types of Americans which outnumbers many individual countries. Americans suck and don't seem nice. Too many bad apples.
At this point, I just feel bad for them. Our education system failed them. These "deranged" people you are talking about are our friends, coworkers, and family who have been misled by a system that was built based on slavery. Keep your masses uneducated, and you can do what you want with them.
Some of them woke up before the election (a friend of mine from Arkansas), some were killed by Covid (my coworker from Texas), and some will learn what the unintended consequences are of voting against their best interest (my aunt that used to work for the federal government in Ohio).
But deranged, they are not. However, I do think Hillary was right. Some of them are deplorable, but I don’t know any deplorables.
Education is not a good defense when you weren't given any different education than the rest. And it seems like an ideology that they choose even among those more educated and wealthier. This whole only poor uneducated fall for lies is misleading and passes off personal responsibility.
They are the ones who chose despite others not doing so. And even the worst people are capable of moments of kindness, but it doesn't change who they are at their core and what they choose to believe when they don't have to selectively filter themselves.
And feel bad for them all you want. It doesn't change that people around the world are suffering because of their decisions that empowered the people in charge, since they believed they would be the exception.
