    I’m in the middle east, and it fucking sucks.

    We have like 2 genocides going on right now, and the rest are autocratic dictatorships that persecute/massacre their people. Especially minorities. I don’t like the democrats, but republicans are even worse. They’re going to turn Jordan, palestine, lebanon and syria into rubble. Fucking hell. And they’re going to fund the Sauds/gulf monarchies more.

    Life’s unfair, there’s not much we can do about it here. But you can; please, protest all you can.

        The genocide in Sudan. iirc the US is the only one yet to have declare it as such, but looking it up it’s clear that the horrors and massacres that happen there is 100% a genocide.

        France, Israel and the UAE are funding the RSF, who are barbaric, genocidal scum. The group came out of the janjaweed,who already have committed the darfur genocide two decades ago.

        The RSF rape, ransom, murder and torture civilians and commit ethnic cleansing. They are less than scum. To put into perspective how bad they are, 100 women committed mass suicide, because the RSF was coming to their village and they knew they would be raped.

    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.

        It’s gotten to the point where their ignorance and apathy now affect people literally on the other side of the world.

          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

              Go ahead. I’m waiting. And it’s ‘which’, not ‘witch’.

      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.

        You’re a dumbass. I’m Malaysian. Non western enough for you?

        I hate it when people on the internet make broad assumptions about a person, thinking they’re unusually intelligent or something.

          Oh, is that why all of your comments every day all day long are in posts about US politics?

          Give me a break. Does everyone in Malaysia have an obsession with America, or are you the poster child?

            You must be the gifted one. I guess only Americans care about their politics enough to recognize the shitstorm that is brewing over there.

            Educated in the US, if it means anything to your feeble intellect.

              Americans don’t care about our politics anywhere near as much as you do.

              I don’t believe for a second you’re not American. Either way it’s kinda pathetic, tbh.
