    He was elected, no question about it. Americans are just really really stupid.

    Democracy is fine, and so are alliances. Venezuela isn’t in an alliance and the Americans can do as they please there. Also it’s not a democracy so when it’s one authoritarian country fucking around with another authoritarian country, no one’s going to get up in arms. If Denmark didn’t have allies and wasn’t a democracy, the US would’ve invaded Greenland six months ago if not sooner.

    The problem is ignorance. Americans are just generally ignorant of the world, ignorant of democracy and only really believe in the rights and freedoms of slave masters. Democracy isn’t something written on a piece of paper as Americans believe, it’s about having a society where people respect one another’s rights. Our alliances are based around that.

    Americans don’t believe in “our rights” they only believe in “my rights” ie. the rights of the salve masters which they’ve been indoctrinated into worshiping. They’ve only had some semblance of democracy for a relatively short period of time, but will always gravitate back towards the ideals of the slave masters they worship.

    Democracy will continue on even if it dies in the US and it’s imperative we maintain our alliances with other democracies to contain them.
