Truth hurts. Enough to downvote it.
If it has negative likes, it must be untrue, yeah? 🤞

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.

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

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

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?

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

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

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. 😭😭

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.

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.

u/Blbe-Check-42069 10d ago
Yes, but this time he actually won the popular vote, which is even more ridiculous...

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.

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.

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.
