Can you imagine that there people stupid enough to vote for Kamala Harris?
There are few countries that would have voted for Trump over Harris. People living in more democratic, educated and happier countries would vote for Harris.
Intelligence is knowing that other's are smarter than you, and that you should listen to them. If about half the population in US believes one thing, but 90% of the population in more educated countries believe otherwise then you should realise you are mistaken... There is nothing wrong about being wrong. What is stupid is not changing perception based on what the majority is telling you
Don't be so self-good. The tendencies you ascribe exclusively to the US are marked i many parts of Europe, including Norway, where 47% of young men (NRK, okt 2024) would have voted for Trump in late 2024! There are large swaths of eastern Germany, a multi-party electoral system, in which 40% of the voting population supports the far right AfD. In the Netherlands and France, far right parties (RN, PVV) trend in front, as much as 35%. This, in political systems that, by their very nature, tend to limit the support given for any one party.
The point is not to absolve or condemn Trump-supporting segments of the US. It is to underscore how naive, arrogant or lazy people here in Norway and other parts of Europe are when trying to talk down to the "uneducated" Americans. In doing so, we are often ignorant about political trends in their own back yard.

You are partly correct. This is a symptom that someting is terribly wrong in many countries. Young people feel they are being treated unfairly. But instead of blaming the older generations for making it so, they attack other groups instead. We haven't developed good strategies for dealing with this misguided anger, but we see that some countries are able to do it- such as Denmark

magas are idiots with no actual beliefs. America is currently a rogue nation. Republicans in Congress are traitors for not standing up to Trump.
The scary part is that piggie knows he will lose the House and maybe senate in a year so he has to do all the bombing he can in 2026. B

So, you want mob rule, eh?
Mob rule is why U.S. is not a democracy, but a republic.

you have no idea what a republic is.
go look it up and get back to us. Do not post until you understand what a republic is.
in fact, don't post any words of which you don't know the meaning.

good practice for life.
If you knew what a republic is, you would tell us.
I will tell you if your definition is correct.
State of California says that I am qualified to do so.
I know! I know! basically, a state where there is no king/absolute dictator. A state which is governed/owned for the benefit of the people, not the sovereign.
footnote:
I KNEW right wingers didn't yet have internet search technology. Thanks for confirming! It's going to great when right wingers get that tech and can simply look things up to see if they are true. They tell so many lies and display such ignorance that I could tell they didn't have the tech to 'look things up.'
Republic:
a state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch.
to be clear, this is the plan devised by the kakistocracy in the WH:
1) War on Venezuela, arrest its president
2) allow Venezuela's marxist revolutionary vice president to take over the presidency.
3) wholly expect this marxist revolutionary to work hand in hand with trump and exxon to rape the country.
4) If that doesn't work, then we either invade or just walk away and shrug.
I think that's the plan.
ok rubio this morning explained more of the plan.
We will continue to try to stop Venezuelan oil from leaving the country until they cry uncle and let the US take over.
this is classic trump, thinking that everyone is driven only by money and not at all driven by pride, humiliation, doctrine, laws, etc. Hint: humiliation is the strongest force in national actions. This Venezuelan government will not give us their oil without force, because that would humiliate them.
Sure, if we support a coup and some right wing nutjob general takes the crown, he would work with our rogue nation.
So we will embargo Venezuela until the country gives us the oil. That's the plan. Could take a while.
Remember the Bush 2 Iraq invasion. Rumsfeld & Wolfowitz said oil money would pay for the war. The taxpayer ended up with a $3T+ bill while oil companies got substantial control of Iraq oil from which they are still reaping profits.
Expect nothing different here. Big oil paid for Trump to get back in office. He is painting this as "America’s oil" but the American people will only accumulate debt, casualties, and higher prices. Oil companies will make a trillion dollars. Trump & family will make billions.
When Bush 2 took office, there was a budget surplus and the debt was $5.5T. When he left office, there was $11.5T in debt, a financial crisis that crushed Americans, oil companies were thriving and banks that bilked the American people were bailed out. This is the trajectory Trump is taking us, again. Americans have not learned.

Correct. Now you are paying attention. I would suggest each of these countries come to the negotiating table. Peace thru strength done right. Make America Great Again.

I'm convinced now more than ever Trump will either cancel the midterms or simply not recognize the results.
Americas best hope of getting rid of this psychotic dictator is he keeps taking health advice from RFK Jr. We're just a Filet O Fish away from normalcy.
Why on Earth would we spend billions of dollars and support the killing of millions of Ukrainian and Russian kids, when we can simply counter Russias move by taking over an equally impressive country strategically AND send a message to China while we are at it? Nobody hurt and they pay.
Well then you’ve made it clear that you know nothing at all. MAGA beliefs are the most rigid in the World. Back to back WW Champs and the the most sought after country for immigration since 1776.
So our beliefs are written right there on that Constitutional paper and all you need to do is read it someday.
Roe v Wade was sent back to the States, where it always belonged, that’s our belief. It’s real simple.

No president has done more for global peace than Trump. His policy of peace through STRENGTH - speaking loudly and carrying the biggest stick - gets peace. The threat of tariffs, applied quickly and nimbly, also promotes global peace.

Zelensky cancelled elections and banned opposing parties. Are you saying he should take a page from Zelensky's playbook?

They will have elections again once the war stops. So if you want elections in Ukraine then help them. And while you are at it... Why didn't US insert the politician that actually won the last election in Venezuela?
Remember, everyone, no matter how many military forces are involved or things you blow up, it’s not REALLY a military operation if you arrest someone during it.
Almost makes you wonder why both the SECDEF and CJCS were standing in back of him during the press conference??
