In three weeks, Donald Trump has imploded whatever positive image the United States might have had internationally.

    People you can relate to better than the ones who’ve been starving? Did you miss that Flint still doesn’t have safe tap water and that the state no longer considers it an emergency so they’ve lost their bottled water funding?

      classic misdirection gaming, Flint has been a mess for like, a decade or more, this is old news, considering it no longer an emergency is definitely a big problem, the biden admin allocated a shit ton of funding to fix that exact problem during his term, perhaps that’s why the state delisted it’s status? Who knows, i’m not politically informed on the local state politics of flint michigan unfortunately, because i do not live there. On the previous account of it being a fucking shithole.

        Gotcha. Disputing you is classic misdirection, existing traumas are old news, fresh traumas just rattle us (“us”), and of course anything that’s wrong happened somewhere you don’t think about with a shred of care in your heart. I think I can hear the goalposts moving again

          well yeah, if we’re talking about the recent trump admin fucking shit up, of course existing trauma is old news. Fresh traumas have barely begun to play out, we don’t even know if they’re truly happening or not, it’s all up in the air currently. Is it a good sign? No, does that mean the US is crumbling? Also no.

          and of course anything that’s wrong happened somewhere you don’t think about with a shred of care in your heart. I think I can hear the goalposts moving again

          bad things have been happening for like 5 years now, most of this isnt new, in fact most of the things trump instated were previously instated under his 2016 term, anything outside of that is unlikely to get anywhere due to his sheer incompetency, unless corruption cooks really hard. Which will inevitably take a little while.

          I’m trying to figure out where we went from “damn bros” to “we’re so joever, it’s never happening again” in literally 4 months.
