In three weeks, Donald Trump has imploded whatever positive image the United States might have had internationally.

    I feel bad for the innocent Americans who are gonna suffer… people who honestly didn’t ask for or want any of this.

      We may not have wanted any of this, but none of us are innocent. We all play our parts whether that’s the sociopathic capitalist or the empathetic commoner, with the consequences of our actions/inaction causing harm and suffering to the world. The very devices we’re having this discussion on were created with suffering.

        We’ve collectively destroyed this entire planet - that was intended to sustain us all - so none of us are innocent, except the children who’ve no idea yet what right and wrong even mean. As for the rest of us, there are very real degrees of guilt and also sincere ignorance, and also repentance… if not, we would all deserve to just lay down and let evil roll over us.

      I mean the conservatives definitely asked for this, as did the democrats who didn’t vote, and the majority of Americans who don’t vote at all.

        So you don’t believe there are any Americans who don’t deserve to suffer for what’s happening?

      I mean, everyone who voted for Hillary/Biden in primaries wanted this.

      They would rather have Trump than Bernie, so that’s what they got.
