I fucking hate Americans so much. My countrymen are completely insufferable.
Criticize Republicans and you’re a Democrat; criticize Democrats and you’re a Republican.
Nothing else exists. Two parties, two ideologies, two worldviews, two moral compasses, two philosophies, two of goddamn everything. Nothing more, nothing less.
I fucking hate it here so much.
Yeah, feel like there’s no choice sometimes.
I feel you. It’s sad that they don’t understand that when they reflexively bring up the other party (or parties) they’re Falling For It.
Like… we are so past partisan politics and electoral solutions lol. Even in Canada I have to hear this donkey shit about the alternate universe where the conservatives won and how it’d be worse when I’m being fucked over by the banker factions NOW, in this timeline.
“Sure they’re promising to gut everything and build new pipelines and give handouts to Bay street and turn their bureaucrats into soliders (HUGE LOL btw) but PP would’ve licherally made Handmaid’s Tale real!1!”
I think people would be just as upset, Democrat or Republican; we saw more pro-Gaza protests under Biden than Trump.
I wish the pro-Palestine protests were still going on.
Now imagine that same discourse, while playing telephone, make it ‘‘en Español’’, and you have Puerto Rico.
It’s sometimes the same discourse in Latam, but that’s mainly due to the media there being largely Americanized.
