Plenty of people around the world felt this during bidens term. Just because most americans didnt (not all, BTW), doesnt mean biden wasnt part of awful crimes against humanity, just like the presidents before him. America has been a brutal and unforgiving nation for a long time.
Complete nonsense. Global views of the country, most importantly our allies were quite high and people were optimistic about American leadership. Compare that to now where confidence in our country and it’s leadership is at an all time low and some of our strongest alliances are damaged by the sheer stupidity of the orange buffoon.
Global views of the country, most importantly our allies were quite high and people were optimistic about American leadership.
Here is the problem that you won’t be able to see.
Such allies had a past of colonizing the “third world”, “Global south”, “non-western countries” or whatever labels kids these days use to label the “not allies”.
My country, Brazil, was/is one that fought hard to really get a good global view.
Though I’m not sure if we can maintain the good will of most countries if Trump decides to bomb just a little south to Venezuela (Which would hit Roraima or other Brazilian state, mostly) and start to call us narco-terrorist (and there was an attempt to do so).
But still, to my point, It is hard to find any country who hates Brazil.
For that reason I’d say that My country should’ve be used as parameter of (positive) global views given how known we are and how there is basically no bad blood between Brazil and any other country.
Edit: Only 2 countries, Paraguay and Portugal, do have some animosity with Brazil.
Paraguay is a “murky water” case because of wars around 1876. It is the closest that Brazil has as current diplomatic dispute, but similar to almost all (non-military) border disputes around the world.
IDK, I am still not a fan of the nonsense that happened with Bolsonaro, which was much like what Trump did his first term and the Jan 6 nonsense. It’s cool that he was found guilty (he also went harder on supporting the coup), but he was still elected despite tons of warnings signs, like admiring Brazilian dictators, racist and homophobic views, and supporting voter fraud conspiracies.
You can’t just wipe that away with the next administration.
I totally agree with you about Bolsonaro being an stain in our history.
But post-dictatorship Brazilian politics had passed through Sarney, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Lula and Dilma and all these government maintained a position of neutrality (which Bolsonaro almost broke like how Trump is breaking America’s reputation).
Also, there are strong evidence that US had a hand in electing Bolsonaro here:
And if you think I’m wearing a tinfoil hat and it is all a conspiracy, just look at how US supported Juan Guaidó in Venezuela, failed, and now is bombing small boats and killing people under presumption of drug traficking and is even posturing about the possibility to invade Venezuela’s land
Back to the point so we don’t waddle in that web too much:
Brazilian politics had passed through Sarney, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Lula and Dilma and all these government maintained a position of neutrality
Bolsonaro was probably implanted here by external powers (US in this case) in the times of rising alt-right wings around 2015~Today (which even Germany and France are facing pressure from alt-right discourse)
Trump was implanted in US either by Russian powers (russian asset) or, even worse, was elected and reelected because that’s who Americans are (I trully hope to not be the case).
Not the same, but Americans need to wake up and realise simply going back to nicer neoliberalism is not enough. Not enough to keep this from happening again.
You’re stuck in the thinking that you need to choose between the two party choices that are presented to you.
You may need to vote one of two ways, but the other days of the year you could be working to ensure that the parties you have to vote on are better.
Part of doing that is criticizing current and past choices
Yeah, I don’t get why people say this. Trump is, for whatever selfish reason, at least trying to stop the genocide. I don’t understand how you can compare him to people who aid and abet the killing of thousands of humans.
He’s really not. He wants to be seen as “ending wars” because that’s what he campaigned on. I don’t think he cares one way or another about Palestinians.
The reason there’s a ceasefire is because Hamas finally returned hostages. That’s all, and that’s not because of any negotiating Trump did, but because the war has been so one sided for so long that Hamas was losing power, so they needed to refocus on maintaining control. If Harris had won, we would likely see the same thing on a similar timeline, though perhaps with more aid to people in Gaza.
Don’t give Trump credit for anything that’s happening in Gaza. Don’t give it to Biden either. Both could and should have been tougher on Israel.

Biden and Trump are not the same and fuck every simple-minded dumbass that thinks they are.
Never said they were the same, just that they are both awful people that shouldnt lead a nation.
Not the same, but Americans need to wake up and realise simply going back to nicer neoliberalism is not enough. Not enough to keep this from happening again.

What are you on about? Trump was advocating for clearing out the gaza strip and building Trump resorts on it.
There’s a ceasefire now. Israel still kills people but at least it’s killing fewer people.
There was a ceasefire when Biden left office too
He’s really not. He wants to be seen as “ending wars” because that’s what he campaigned on. I don’t think he cares one way or another about Palestinians.
The reason there’s a ceasefire is because Hamas finally returned hostages.
