Is anyone else losing complete respect for the US at this point?

For me, these last few US elections haven’t been about politics, policies or the economy. They’ve been about humanity. My sadness comes from knowing that SO MANY human beings are more than willing to endorse narcissism, aggression, violence, stupidity, selfishness, dishonesty and vulgarity. And to endorse it with pride, no less.

And what this decline spells for the rest of the world and its future is frightening. There by the grace of God goes my country, should a deranged cult leader emerge in our political system one day. Because, Britain has its share of bigoted dumbasses too.

Why am I angry and despondent when I’m not even an American? Because, I remember the US of old. I lived there decades ago when there was still tangible evidence of the country’s emotional intelligence and dignity.

How can Democrats not feel hypocritical when they urge Trump not to be vengeful should be become president when the Democrats are trying to put Trump into prison?

To see all that potential upended is not easy.

Alongside the anger lies pity and compassion for those millions of Americans who know better and who have been fighting the good fight for several years now. They are depleted, tired and hopeless. It’s one thing to watch it (as I’ve been doing,) but it’s another to live it. My heart goes out to each and every one of them.

I feel equal measures anger and pity.

Why are Republicans so brainwashed and oblivious to the fact that a lot of the price increases going on right now is due to corporate greed, not inflation?

For any Brits who are watching what’s happening in the US and who think it could never happen to us, take heed. It could. It might. Stay vigilant.

I feel angry about how dumb so many Americans are. How blind, uneducated, aggressive, immature and backward they are. The proof is in the pudding with the 2024 election result.
