    Yes there are normal people in America. I don’t have time to explain gerrymandering and all the other fuckery Republicans use to get elected. And I know this question isn’t real because I trust you’re not so bigoted as to judge an entire people of a country as one

      I do not condemn the whole country, nation, religion, race, … football fans, … whatever, based on some small (or large) group of people from that community.

      FYI, I live in a country that is problematic, a lot of corruption, untouchable and dishonest politicians, slow changes in society, divisions of all kinds, mostly on national, religious and political grounds. In every country there are normal people and those who have some kind of problem in their heads and the ability to project that problem, transfer it to others.

      Somehow the USA was a “beacon” of democracy, where only during elections it matters who you vote for. It turns out that the USA is a shithole country like the others, only it has a much better economy (for some) and better propaganda.

          Didn’t you know? Everyone in Europe is perfect and everyone in the US is a bumbling MAGA idiot? That’s the impression I get from a lot of Lemmy threads, anyway.

            We have a military force that escalates that we call police. They have tanks and qualified immunity. If you don’t see the cop problem in yankkkee land then you are the problem. What are 80 years old corn pop? Watch “hotr- the bad apple report” or “the junkyard news” on the youtube …Educated your damn self… These oinkers are rogue and it is every god damn day with these Karen magga reprobates.

              What the hell are you talking about? What about my comment made you think I was defending cops?

            Right wing racism is a serious problem in Europe and the majority of people in the US are from Europe anyways

          Currently yes and it blows my mind how often the wealthy people around me don’t see what is going on around them or what the cause is (wealth inequality).

            I doubt what you’re noticing is very specific to America. Every country is in danger of falling to this.

              We are all in danger of becoming fascist provided we are in a capitalist economy.

              America has made concerted efforts to ignore the best practices in education policy for about 20-25 years now. It is stunning how many people lack critical thinking skills.
