    It’s not just blind hate, it’s a nation of under-educated racist bullies

    Americans can shot each other as much as they want, good for them

    Words have meaning, and when you say things like that, you lump us in with those scumbags. That’s exactly what the lunatics in charge want. Dehumanize us so the common person won’t care when they kill us. "Who cares if a bunch of gay people got shot? They were Americans, it’s their own fault for living in that shitty country in the first place. They all have guns, they should’ve shot first. "

    There are plenty of us here who agree with you and are cheering you guys on because we want to gut the current government just as much as you do. I hope Canada hits us with tariffs, and I hope it hurts. Because maybe then these idiots here will wake up and realize what they’ve voted for. I doubt it, but I can hope.

      Welcome to America. By the way, it’s rude to talk about politics. And I’m not going to change my family’s mind, so I won’t bother.

      My vote doesn’t matter, so I won’t show up at the polls, either. Something something Gaza, both sides, Pelosi bad.

      We’re stuck in this together whether we individually had a choice or not. Regardless of what happens in four years, we’ve proven unreliable.
