i can't tell whether it's hilarious or depressing how many republicans are still brainwashed into thinking the US is respected by anyone on the planet anymore. it's like a circus clown seeing everyone laugh at him and think it's because they respect him
Honestly, that's disrespectful to the performance, talent, skills, and hard work required to be a circus clown. They are professionals who have worked hard to master their craft.
He is actively tearing down our democracy and has no respect for anyone or skills to speak of. I can only hope that we can repair the damage he has done to us on the world stage and on the home front. And to me, it's so depressing you can't help but laugh about it.
I think some of them are aware that other countries don't like or respect us but the way they view it is "were better than them anyway, so their opinion doesn't matter because we're winners and they are losers".
the US has most certainly had its time in the spotlight and has been essential in some major historical events, there was once a time that the country was respected. but it hasn't been in a long time
Right. That's completely true. The US may have been respected at some point, but I don't think that's something Republicans ever cared about, which can easily explain why they care so little if the US isn't respected now.
It's funny that you think we give a shit about the respect of other countries for the most part. Most of which I might add the US still has to subsidize/aid.
Laughing stock? I live here and I am horrified by what I see. I never knew my neighbors could support a dictator. I am hoping for great meaningful changes this November, but I am also terrified of this country being pushed off the rails by our fascist POTUS and his administration.
Tell me I am wrong: A fascist is a follower or supporter of fascismβa far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, and the forcible suppression of opposition.
.....why am I even trying to bother explaining. You could take courses in microbiology and epidemiology and still not understand the basic mechanisms of how a vaccination works, I'd bet. ππππππππππππππππ
I traveled 20 yrs ago to Italyβ¦ and we were a laughing stock then. I learned a lot about our real politics from listening to Italians. Itβs so helpful for us to have leaders who hear out others critiques. To improve.
Europeans have always thought the US was a laughing stock. In the early 2000s, it was over Bush, the wars, gas prices, americans being stupid and fat, etc.
It is a shame. As a European due to Trump, the USA has become abit of a laughing stock and can no longer be taken seriously
