Oh, I'm sorry, bigoted dipshit. Forgot you need to specify exactly what level of stupidity someone's on or you'll get pendanted to death
Bigoted dipshit? You realise a country is represented by their government right, especially a democracy? Your people voted for him and if he decides to genocide others, torture them, start wars, annex other countries or do whatever the fk evil shit, it reflects your people as a whole. Why should other countries give you the GRACE of being spared your precious feelings when their people are being attacked and suffering the consequences of YOUR government's actions? You're a priviledged asshole if you think people should GRACE you with their fucking patience and goodwill when your government is attacking them!!!
Yes, bigoted dipshit.
Assuming all Americans support their government and treating them poorly because of it is being a bigoted dipshit, simple as
And the dissenting comments to that opinion all read almost exactly like how MAGAts talk, it's funny and gross how much like them you are
Nobody said all Americans support their government you reading comprehension challenged moron, we said your government reflects your people. Since so many voted for him and still support him and since you lived in a DEMOCRACY your government represented your PEOPLE (that's literally what the word DEMOCRACY stands for); there is clearly something wrong with your people's fkin culture. Just like there was something wrong with German culture in the 1940s (DUH) and pointing it out and having unfavourable views of the current American culture and people is NOT bigotry. You live in a dictatorship and there's way too many people going with it to say it isn't supported on a wide scale. Wake the fk up. My husband is literally American and he understands this concept that people outside the US will see Americans a certain way, because so many are letting it happen. What is wrong with you?
Edit: That user has a history of getting their comments removed by mods AND telling others that they are "dumb" or lack reading comprehension when THEY are the ones misrepresenting what is being said (hence they get downvoted to hell when they do it). Talk about projection. What a joke. Blocked and forgotten.
