I mean when Trump was shot at, people here had a quite similar sentiment.
Also all the “violence is not part of american political culture” hurrdurrs of politicians and celebrities afterwards are just completely false. Violence and political violence are an integral part of American culture. I think no other country had as many successful and attempted assassinations of their presidents.
I don’t think political violence is all that uncommon in the world. Since the 19th century Japan’s had 7 out of 64 PMs assassinated with another ~dozen plots or attempts.
Tbh… When I visited Denver last week from melbourne, sadly I discovered the people there were doing better than here. It seems like a few people here have gotten far more toxic than the US.
Everyone there was super nice.
That being said though, the same kind of voter here causing things to be bad for everyone, seem to be the same as US
We’re like the only “first world” country that has no healthcare and we have more billionaires then any other country and soon to be one trillionaire, what do you think?
And a crap load of people living on or under the poverty live working two or three jobs with zero PTO, crippling student debt ratios, sky high childcare costs, no family leave, and on and on. No, you don’t seem well.
It’s insane that you have people working multiple part time jobs totaling 40+ hr/week but still don’t have employer-subsidized healthcare because employers don’t have to offer it to employees working under a certain number of hours/week. And there are businesses that deliberately offer only part time jobs for that exact reason.
This is a country that’s more afraid of not having a gun, than not having a doctor. We are not run by adults.
This is a nation that says you can get a license to drive a large metal death trap at insane speeds at 16, die in a war at 18, but you have to be 21 to drink the Evil Fermented No-No Juice… and 25 to RENT a large metal death trap at insane speed
Ffs, America. You’re not well, are you?

Denver is one of the more educated and civilized areas of the US.
It…is?
It is, provided you specifically do not look at the driving skills of the people who live there…
Denver is a liberal island in the generally quite conservative American west.
The whole country going insane makes me feel like I’M insane, because a rational world view no longer applies.

Capitalism at it’s finest. Working just as intended. Nothing to see here, move along, serfs.
Oh, look, someone who’s different. Let’s get angry at them instead!
I like the cut of your jib!

We have no idea what an adult is.
