Ok. At the start of our conversation I was genuinely interested into why so many Americans thought voting for Trump was such a good idea. I don't live in America but I'm unfortunately in a position where it's election does effect me. During our conversation you came across very arrogant and very ignorant just some examples which I have taken from various quotes and added together:Went back through election night pre and post and this poster is the only one with a shred of understanding of the US and our current political climate.
The rest of the posts ranged from ignorant drivel to inflammatory shrieking. Outside of the most left leaning 20% of this country, this board's post history would receive puzzled glances and sympathetic pats on the shoulder from Americans.
And based on the private messages from fellow Americans on here, it seems like a small collection of posters dominates the conversation.
"Don't care he's a criminal my kids will be richer than yours" Possibly true but your kids are also more likely to be shot, go bankrupt due to medical problems, become homeless, go to prison, worse work life balance, have much larger student debt and now because of who you have running your nations health more likely to catch measles.
"we are sick of helping you Europeans with defence sort your own **** out" America is the only nation to have ever triggered article 5 and for 20 years all NATO nations plus Ukraine deployed to Afghanistan and many also deployed to Iraq. Many former colleagues of mine included. You are sick of helping us out? Fine but next time someone fly's a plane into one of your building ask the ******* Russians for help.
"I want Greenland" like it's a shiny bike in a toy shop.
"Canada is just bluster and we find it quite funny" yeah this 51st state rubbish plus these trade tariffs are causing the Canadians a great deal of distress and it's an open threat to their sovereignty but as long as you're having a giggle hey?
"Your leaders are rubbish and you have no money" coming from a nation that continually complains about living standards and just voted in a someone who @General Melchett describes above and before him a senile old man.
You seem annoyed with some people's attitude towards your new president and our apparent ignorance and that's fair enough but you seem to completely disinterested in our perspective so don't expect a friendly discord.
