Here’s the post they just deleted. 3 month old account, 20 comments, 1300 posts and virtually every single one about the US.

They believe more guns means less gun violence

They think iOS is far superior to Android.

They require a super-majority in Congress to vote any law. They called this system the Fillibuster. This basically means that it’s impossible to vote anything at all. In Canada, you just need a majority of parliament to pass a law. Legalize abortion ? Simple majority. In the US, you need a super-majority. Why? Who came up with this stupid shit?

Why do americans have more constitutional lawyers than any other country? Why do americans say “It’s against the constitution” everytime something happens they don’t like? When a city reduces speed limits, a typical american answer in the comment section is “This is anti-constitutional”. What the fuck do speed limits have to do with the constitution?!!

Their politicians brag about sending billions of dollars of Israel every year. Supporting Israel is one thing. But this is an entirely different matter. How can politicians openly brag about giving money to a high-income foreign country?

They elected a felon who is enriching his family. He just told them “On day 1, I will fix all wars and all problems. Everything will be fine”. Why did they trust him?

What’s wrong with americans? Some of them are exceptionally smart, but they are the tiny minority. It seems that on average, they are dumber than the Chinese or Europeans.

I don’t pretend to know what they’re up to - I can’t read minds. I’m just pointing out that it seems suspect. You’re free to draw your own conclusions.

Are you forgetting that Trump won by a very slim margin?

Some americans are really fucking stupid, but a lot of them aren’t.

Their political system, though, is awful and captured by a two-party system which is why things don’t change. Ideally both parties should splinter off into two other parties of equal size, so things are more balanced.

It would probably end up as an actual social democratic party, one centrist democratic party, one right leaning conservative party, and a party of the right wing extremists who love Trump no matter what he says or does.

And I assure you every other country on the planet has a substantial percentage of moron as well.

And what are the ones in the very slim margin?

If they ever voted for, or even considered voting for Trump, they’re morons of course.

The man was an obvious con artist, pathological liar, untrustworthy, racist, piece of shit from the start.

There was never a moment in time when liking Trump wasn’t synonymous with stupidity.

Mostly normal people just like you and me who simply grew up in different environments, had different experiences, and came to different conclusions about what the problems are and how to solve them. Like most people, they generally want safety, economic security, and a decent life for them and their families. Dismissing them as stupid is usually just a way of avoiding having to understand why they see things differently.
