"The world respects America again" ... Yeah sure we do /s Must be a real wild time to be an American. How many still dare to admit being one these days while being abroad ?

I don’t even admit it when I’m at home by myself. I mean… a guy I know who lives in America does that

The geezers he's talking to who are convinced by his rhetoric are right behind him in age, dementia, IQ, or racism. The rest of us are dealing with daily trauma.

There's a sizeable chunk of the gen Z and alpha generations that love his rhetoric. It's definitely not just old people.

Shit im scrambling to get out and stay out of this country, I feel like I need to register for a 'im not a dumbass or a bigot, I learned critical thinking' card wherever I go
