I just finished watching Chernobyl and comments like this are now going to remind me of the fact that the reactor could not have exploded because that's not how RBMK reactors work.
Worth? Who are you trying to convince? Not me. I don't think it's worth having Trump. Americans did though. Is your crying and arguing with me going to change anything? Maybe you should be holding those responsible accountable instead.
He wasn't in power then. I'm fine with screwballs testing to the system to keep it honest. Now he's about to be head of the Department of Health & Human Services. That is deeply concerning.

First of all I wasn't comparing. 2nd of all it is incredibly stupid to argue that American machismo doesn't exist. Compared to fucking what?
This is not optimism. It's more irreverence. Which is honestly something we need more of these days. Everyone's so goddamn serious.
It's rooted in the tradition of American machismo and braggadocio. Hyperbole is a huge part of the American oral tradition.

I think Devil Went Down to Georgia is supposed to be viewed as a boast by Johnny himself. "I'm a really good fiddle player." "Oh yeah?" "Yeah, this one time I beat the Devil himself." "I told you once you sonofabitch, I'm the best there's ever been."
Well if you're religious. There's a whole class of individuals in the South that get off on showing the religious just how little they care for the tenets of Christianity. In addition to playing a mean fiddle, Johnny probably swears like a sailor and has extramarital sex whenever he can.
The song came out in 1979. The Southern Rebel was a big concept in the culture.
