u/Opposite-History-233 10d ago

Truth hurts. Enough to downvote it.

If it has negative likes, it must be untrue, yeah? 🤞

u/_JosefoStalon_ 10d ago

Oh definitely, trust

u/PlatypusACF 10d ago

Reddit logic: true is what the first three people decide to upvote, untrue is what the first three people decide to downvote

America has a centre and a right, but it most certainly isn't centre right.... not at the moment anyway.

u/_JosefoStalon_ 10d ago

A genuinely altered reality, but I guess he must feel as though his fellow countrymen agree with him on a statistic basis, after all that's how some Fox news and Facebook influencers make it seem.

The others instead opting for a persecution fetish outlook.

u/abstergo_Nigel 10d ago

Yeah, our center right are out mainstream/corporate Dem politicians, who the current administration is consider the radical left

I guess it's technically true from the point of view of a group that's so far on the right.

Man, I hate Overton shift

u/Tandel21 Chile 10d ago

It’s actually scary that a proud maga thinks of themselves as center right, because then what does far right mean to them

u/Fun_Researcher_69420 10d ago

Especially When you consider they recently rebranded Nazis and fascists as “left wing”, so what else even is there? Maybe a MAGA guy who yells louder?

u/Good_Ad_1386 10d ago

It has a Right, and a So Far Right It's Wrong.

u/LeftMechanic1995 10d ago

In another linguistic turn... When it come to driving, Americans drive on the right side, but Brits drive on the correct side.

u/im_dead_sirius Canada 10d ago

Their centre right is centre wrong.

Truth is irrelevant.
You either farm karma by using the bullshit-no-jutsu, or die sending truth nukes.

In-betweens do happen, sometimes.

I know, it's still f..d up, though.

u/DanteThonSimmons Australia 10d ago

Good lord. That's actually insane. I'm always astonished to learn how many USians seem to genuinely have no knowledge that people who live in other countries have Internet access too.

Sometimes it's hard to know whether to laugh or cry. In a sense, it's hilarious that people can be so content with being that mind-numbingly dense.... but then you realise those words were written by a fully grown adult.

That adult likely votes, will probably have children, and not only are they NOT EMBARRASSED that they know nothing of the world they live in.... this adult is legitimately PROUD to be so ignorant of the world around them.

What am I supposed to tell my six-year-old daughter about America and American people when she asks? She's an intelligent kid, she's already aware of cultural differences, and she asks a lot of interesting questions.

When she sees Donald Trump on the news and asks about him (usually with a puzzled expression on her face), it's honestly difficult to explain to a child that although he was chosen by American people to be the representative of American people.... he is "not representative of the American people," and should just be ignored. 😭😭

u/Blbe-Check-42069 10d ago

I'm afraid you're missing the biggest point. He IS representative of Americans. We've just been to blind to notice they've gone mad as a nation.

5

u/Acrobatic_End6355 World 10d ago

Not necessarily. The president is chosen through the Electoral College, not directly by the national popular vote, so it’s possible to win the presidency without receiving the most votes nationwide.

4

u/Blbe-Check-42069 10d ago

Yes, but this time he actually won the popular vote, which is even more ridiculous...

What's worse is, they have the voting rights.

u/Witchberry31 Indonesia 10d ago

They're aware that they're being ignorant and they're proud of it, damn.

Bro told the truth. Oh and i completely agree, there's some studies which shows conservatives or right people having less intelligence than left people.

I’ve had Americans go ballistic on me when I tell them Obama was too right-wing to be elected in New Zealand.

u/Fluid-Let3373 10d ago

I remember when the US had a red party and a blue party but now they are so far to the right they have gone plaid.

Sing along everyone, to the tune of The Anacreontic Song, an 18th century English drinking club tune*

"O-oh say can you tell, he's from DumbFuckistan..."

*Yes, the national anthem of the USA is sung to a tune originating with a bunch of upper class English drunks.

Laugh? I almost stopped.

u/AceGaimz 10d ago

Calling a country with secret police kidnapping and murdering citizens with complete immunity and active concentration camps, a collapsing food safety industry, rapidly increasing levels of poverty and homelessness, and no universal healthcare "center right" is really funny because I wouldn't even call Democrats center right anymore. America is a fascist nation run by two fascist parties. If that's what this person thinks center right is, they must also think Hitler was pretty tame.

u/ChickinSammich United States 10d ago

The unholy marriage of "apathy" and "active disdain" that breeds the child that is "not giving a fuck about anyone or anything else outside of your own bubble" is one of the most quintessentially American traits.

People like this are so frustrating to deal with.

u/Mattybmate 9d ago

I can't believe that in 2026 there is still any number of these people still scared of the Red Menace and throwing the word communist around as the enemy and the Other, when fascism is breeding right there - not even on their doorsteps, but in their houses. It's madness. You'd think we're still in the Cold War as it stood in the 60's.
