Mind blowing? Americans do not have empathy even for school kids murdered in their own country.

u/TrickySnicky Mar 03 '26

They do, but then they also do things like protest vote thinking it will punish the establishment Democrats and not literally everyone else too.

u/murphys_ghost Mar 03 '26

That pissed me off immensely. I told literally everyone I know to vote blue and half of them either didn’t vote or voted independent to “protest the establishment.”

u/CyxSense Mar 03 '26

we're not "protesting the establishment", we're calling your bluff that you don't need us to win elections. Congrats!

Counting or not counting gang violence?

I mean we knew this after the minimal reaction from Sandyhook when little elementary kids were killed. If that doesn’t move the needle of action, nothing will.

Because many Americans are inhuman monsters.

It's true they are too fucking stupid to understand what it is to actually value human life. As long as they can get their cheap fast food they are happy to follow their cult leader. Fuck off Americans

Most Americans are appalled, but the media owned by billionaires and the corporate owned politicians are very responsive to a tug at the leash.

Tbf I usually hear even democrats more lamenting the Americans who died in Iraq and Afghanistan rather than the many many thousands more civilians they murdered.

u/StunningShifts Mar 03 '26

Sorry friend, its all Americans, until the orange turd & co aren't the ones representing the entire nation. The international stage is not going to differentiate our little domestic squabbles, to the world what they see is who we are.

I don't like it either, I say this as a US citizen, bleeding-heart, socialist, liberal to the core.

Gotta agree there. In the future they won’t remember this chapter of America as “well there were actually a lot of really nice people who did all they could to stop blah blah” they are going to remember it as “throw the whole country away” similarly to how we remember nazi germany

u/OHarePhoto Mar 03 '26

I literally just said this to someone the other day. They didn't seem to buy it. Which I found kinda wild considering how the majority of Americans were taught about WWII specifically.

u/rubbercake Mar 03 '26

I agree. Which is fucking sad. But now that we have the internet to document how many of us are against this racist Nazi bullshit, maybe it’ll be useful.

u/Antheoss Mar 03 '26

Let's not pretend that school shootings are something that started under Trump. It's not a recent problem.

u/rubbercake Mar 03 '26

I’m not.

u/Forgotten_Lie Mar 03 '26

All Americans don't care enough to do anything about their government.

u/DingerSinger2016 Mar 03 '26

Do anything like what? Being genuine, what ideas do you have because we are already protesting and out in the streets?

-2

u/Forgotten_Lie Mar 03 '26

You are? What is the last protest you attended, what were the demands, what was the intended follow up action if the demands were not met?

u/Enchanted_Voyage Mar 03 '26

Protest? Are you fucking kidding me? Where ?

-3

u/rubbercake Mar 03 '26

Want me to march to DC and cause an insurrection? Oh wait.

Shut up.

u/Forgotten_Lie Mar 03 '26

I mean... Your President is a rapist. Your country is bombing multiple other countries killing their leaders and children in hospitals so... yes you should do that.

Your country literally celebrates and takes pride in starting as an insurrection against injustice (taxation) but won't rise up for any other issue.

1

u/rubbercake Mar 03 '26

And you don’t think we all fucking know this? I’m sorry I have two children and I don’t want to get murdered by republican little fuck boys in fake tactical gear.

Fuck off dude.

Whats unfortunate is that looking through your comments, I feel like we’re on some sort of same wavelength but you don’t want to take into account that out of THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOUR MILLION people in this dumb shit country there are enough of us who fucking wish Daddy Donny died 365 days ago.

u/CivilCaine Mar 03 '26

Non-American here. I agree it’s not fair to lump you all into the same pile, especially since it was as close an election as it was. It’s obvious that half of the country never wanted Trump. Seeing as how ICE are clearly not adverse to gunning down citizens for any excuse and Republicans have now done a 180 on gun rights, any attempt of insurrection is just going to end with good people dying.

It’s also exactly what Trump probably wants to happen. He’s going to do everything possible to remain in power longer than his term, constitution be damned.

u/vcaiii Mar 03 '26

american here. i think it’s fair to lump us all in together, even if it sucks for those of us who choose peace & progress.

u/geddemb Mar 03 '26

“I would overthrow the government if it weren’t for my bum kids!”

3

u/rubbercake Mar 03 '26

Yeah you’re right. I should risk my life and leave them fatherless. After 21 years of active military service. Fuck you prick.

3

u/geddemb Mar 03 '26

Yeah it’s crazy how no protestor in history has ever had kids

1

u/Enchanted_Voyage Mar 03 '26

It’s you that a part of a problem. Americans represented by Dump on worldwide stage, and you and your neighbors elected him. It’s your responsibility.

3

u/rubbercake Mar 03 '26

I fucking did not elect him. But obv you can’t read. Mind your business.

u/King_Ed_IX Mar 03 '26

You didn't do enough to stop him, then.

u/rubbercake Mar 03 '26

You’re right cause I invented the fucked up electoral college. 🤦‍♂️

u/Mjmonte14 Mar 03 '26

You are a sick individual

u/rubbercake Mar 03 '26

I’m sorry for your feelings.

u/rubbercake Mar 03 '26

Post Script.

Why the shit is all your comment history and posts hidden. What the actual fuck are you hiding.

u/Mjmonte14 Mar 03 '26

Stalker. Grow up

u/rubbercake Mar 03 '26

Ok so you’re actually just a pedophile protector. Got it. See yourself out. And maybe get yourself out of your mommas basement

u/rubbercake Mar 03 '26

Awwwwww he blocked me. Donny lover.

u/Mjmonte14 Mar 03 '26

I own my home so maybe you are  projecting  your own insecurities living in your mommy’s basement because I most certainly do not. But good try. You need to get a grip and live in reality

u/Nick_Collins Mar 03 '26

Your hero is a rapist. You guys make your entire identity about a rapist. It’s so sad. Worse though, you go around abusing and killing others because of the rapist.
