Comment Not American I see (Score 1) 31
So we basically have two parties here. One is openly fascistic that's the Republicans and the other are milk toast administrators.
From the outside where you're at it can seem like the Democrats are the villain because they aren't stopping the fascists.
This is a human animal response. Basically if you're getting the shit kicked out of you and it feels like somebody's just standing there watching then you don't usually get angry at the guy kicking the shit out of you you get angry at the guy watching.
Now if you take a step back and learn about our politics you'll understand that while the Democrat party really are just administrators shuffling papers and running the government it's the Republican party that pushes everything to hell.
Start by looking up newt Gingrich and the contract with america. Go look into what America did post 9/11 and compare Bush Junior's response to what Al Gore's would be. Look into Richard Nixon starting the drug war to attack his political enemies. And let's not forget Ronald Reagan and death squads he funded and then the Republican party using chaos caused by their presidents and the refugee crisis it created to push the current immigration crisis over the edge and use it to seize power.
Now again you're not American so you probably don't understand that we're a two-party system because we have winner take all voting. And most Americans don't understand that the primary elections are aware of actual decisions about American politics get made.
So if you have all this context you understand that the Republican party is genuinely evil in the same way the Nazis and Stalin's regime and Pol pot and all the other dictators are evil. They're fascists openly and obviously.
But looking into Germany on the outside it probably wasn't immediately obvious that Hitler was a fascist unless you knew a lot about German politics or a 1930 to 1940. Most people do because of world war II but that's only because of hindsight. You can be forgiven for not knowing all of this about America.
On the other hand I think the rest of the world needs to wake the fuck up because my country is inches away from going the way of 1930s Germany and that's not going to end well for anybody... I'm just saying that letting Putin run roughshod over us in the hopes that will be taken down a peg probably isn't a good idea given that it's not like our military has degraded.
And no we do not care that you have nukes. Trump's golden dome will protect us along with Jesus.
