    The United States of America used to be thought of as an ideal, an aspiration. Now? It’s a shithole backwater filled with toothless grins and guns that anyone with a sane mind wants to avoid like the plague. The USA is the punchline to the joke: “What happens when you give an AK-47 to a chimp?”
