    Distill every shitty thing about every caricature about america and you get trump. If you believe in democracy, then this is what the American people wanted, or allowed to happen. For better or worse, it is what it is. No, I dont like that they’re now trying to drag the rest of us into their muck with them, but hey, its america. Hopefully other countries will reduce their dependence on the us and strengthen themselves with their allies and come out stronger. But the stink will be with us for a while.

      As George Carlin said

      If you have selfish ignorant people you get selfish ignorant leaders

      It’s not about one politician. He got in but let’s be real, if it wasn’t him it’d be someone else. The people wanted this. They voted for it. Hoodwinked or no, they wanted a selfish ignorant leader for selfish ignorant reasons.

      Our democracy has been pointing to this for decades. If anything, this election showed me what us Americans are actually like.

      I hate when people do this. You’re not special. There’s no reason for you to chime in like that when OP specifically asked for non-westrrn opinions. That means they especially don’t want an Americans opinion.

        I mean they said they’re from the US in the last sentence.

          They may have just meant the US as they wrote “the us” in lowercase in the sentence just prior.

            They also referred to other countries as “their” and for your theory to work they would’ve had to leave out the entire word “the” witch even with auto correct is hard to do. I’ll place a bet with you. If they respond with where they’re from and it is the US, you have to say something nice about Trump. I’ll do the same if they respond that they are not from the US. Neither of us actually wins but at least the winner doesn’t lose lol
