    As an American I’d like to apologize for the shit show my country currently is.

    I’ve never felt shame like this.

      You’ve had many opportunities to feel shame like this, starting with the unconditional support & complicity of the U.S. government in the genocide in Gaza…

        To be fair that’s a proxy war between the US and the Arab world.

        It was always going to end one way. People are mostly desensitized and the Oct events pushed the majority off the fence. Which was kinda the point. It’s a rats nest and anyone trapped there is unfortunately walking dead trapped between the gears of globalism.

        American voters had zero say in it really. I’m not sure anyone can do anything really. It’s like trying to hold back the sea.

        Supporting the genocide in Gaza was my first deep shame for my country, and I’m not a spring chicken.

        Y’all must have not been around for the Iraq invasion. I stopped being a Republican when my party lied its way into an unnecessary conflict. Iraq only had what Cheney and Reagan sold them in the 80’s. To fight Iran. It’s insane to me for people to forget this important point. We almost brought back the draft for that war. I heard from many leadership individuals that were from my home town. That it was coming any day. Thank god it didn’t. But they abused the troops by forcing them to do extra terms in the conflict zone. No one remembers that either it seems. The GOP was fine forcing service members back into contracts for another 3 years.
