To think that the USA is a dictatorship now?

As a Brit living in the US I’ve come to realize that Brits spend way too much time watching news about and reading about the US, an unhealthy amount of time and it’s all based on stereotypes and bias.

We have a crab mentality and shitting on the US is one way Brits use to avoid dealing with their problems.

The poster is upset that Eli Lilly is increasing the price of weight loss medicine in response to Trump’s executive order to lower prices for Americans so she throws a tantrum and declares that he is a dictator 😂

I’m an American living in the US.

Clearly most posters here have no idea wgat they are talking about. They’ve hr er lived here and never will. Do you think we even care what you think? Until you’re paying taxes here, it doesn’t matter.

But things are not so great in the UK either. Protest groups being classed as illegal. People being locked up for a casual tweet (that was subsequently removed). You can’t even choose what your own children take to school to eat at lunch time.

I have no idea what the Russia Gate hoax is. I assume it's a hoax that sucked American folks in? I don't bother much with internet hoaxes.

I do know about Trump's reliance on Russian money, his self confessed repeat sex offences, his close friendships with paedophile, sex traffickers, Russian oligarchs and Putin.

I also know that Russia handsomely funded pro Trump Americans.

Maybe that's why you voted for him?

Hahahahaha well done for figuring it out, yes his wealth came from Russia and the democrats found out but kept quiet about it despite their witch hunt.

he has been a billionaire for ages now but according to you it’s all based on the Russiagate hoax.

I guess Russia owns all his properties and the golf course he just opened in Scotland a few weeks ago right? Or they gave him the money to build it so he can become president and sell the US to Russia?

It’s a shame you don’t work as an analyst for MI5 or some government think tank so you can enlighten the world with your intelligence.

It really is.😬 Where do you think it came from?

Also Russia's funding of right wing, pro Trump propagandists on the internet is well known and widely accepted. Including by the RW Trupists who profited.🙈

Carry on drawing your tentative conclusions. I find it odd that you care so much what one faceless stranger thinks. But anti-immigrant scaremongering propaganda is an amusing accusation, considering I’m an immigrant myself, and have been at several points in my life. It’s useful to have an outsider’s perspective on the UK. Brits spend an awful lot of time worrying about other people’s concerns instead of their own. It’s a shame; it was a great country, once.

It's the Reform racist fuckwits who are trying to divide the country, fomenting hatred, and the Brexit that they wanted, and the last government who were corrupt and incompetent. The reasonable and rational majority must rise up and fight the minority extremists.

Well that sounds sane

I care, which is why I asked the question you are evading. You also didn't answer as the whether or not you think rape is prevalent in every country and every culture.

I was not saying you changed your position on Trump. I currently have no information on what it is because you refuse to say.
It appears you won't be clear about what your beliefs are, but you do tend to froth at the mouth about leftists and make silly generalizations about them. You have been sneeringly sarcastic to people who disagree with you as well. So a tentative conclusion about both your political leanings and character can be drawn from that and most especially from the anti-immigrant scaremongering propaganda you posted.

You seem to be mixing left and right with authoritarian and liberal. People can be left wing and liberal, left wing and authoritarian, right wing and liberal, right wing and authoritarian. Trump is a right wing extreme authoritarian, i.e. a dictator. How often does he debate or listen to other people's views or accept that others have different views? Never.

Hahaha yeah it’s as a result of Russia 😂and yet the democrats with their Russiagate witch hunt ended up empty handed. And now you claim his wealth is due to Russia 😂yeah it is.

So you’re not going to acknowledge all the statistics etc then?

You’ve ignored everything that anyone, including myself, has said to you if you can’t froth at it. Anything balanced or factual that anyone has responded to you you have absolutely ignored.

It amuses me when people shout loudly and think it covers the fact they are actually saying absolutely nothing, no coherent arguments, avoiding anyone who actually provides information and ignores direct questions. We can still see your empty arguments.

Anyway, it’s bed time for me, good night.

How are you this comfortable publicly admitting you’re an idiot?! 😂

Do you not stay up to date on world affairs? Don’t you ever learn about the politics and history of other countries? Are you that thick that you can’t keep up to date with multiple countries around the world at the same time?

What a small life you must have. Some of us actually do take an interest in world politics, including developing and developed countries, countries nearby and not so close. Of course here in the U.K. many people keep up to date with Europe! I’ve been very interested in France and Spain recently for a variety of reasons, but today I listened to a radio programme about women in Iran as I’ve been loosely following the situation for a while.

Shame you don’t have the capacity to do such things, the world doesn’t revolve around America or Britain you know.

It's not hard to be more successful than me.😆 Especially if, like Trump you're from a really rich family.

He's declared bankruptcy numerous times, sinking many small US businesses along the way. He couldn't even make his casino turn a profit.🤯

His wealth and his position as POTUS come courtesy of Russia. His ass belongs to Putin.

Hahahahaha you can continue to extrapolate and make shit up as much as you want, failed businesses man yet he is more successful than you are 😂

His ass belongs to Russia yet your European leaders admit that he is the only one who can help end the war in Ukraine 😂

His ass belongs to Russia yet the so called Russiagate has been proven to be a hoax by the democrats.

You did misconstrue my meaning, but I accept the apology.

‘Are you now saying’ implies I’m changing my position - which I’m not. What difference does it make whether I personally support or approve of him? I’m not an American. My late husband was - I’ve lived there - who cares what I personally think?

Trump is not worried about same sex marriage.

Ah I thought that's what it was about.

There are cheaper ways to lose weight.

😃

Do you mean the same persecuted gay folks who might lose the right to legal marriage in America and as a result may face more persecution again?

Anyone claiming they are scared are either illegal immigrants or idiotic scaremongers.

No, they're not. Only the deluded and naive are not worried atm.

It's just one example, I could pick many. It's something that affects me. This is something that affects millions of people far worse than me because of a frivolous decision, and a great example of how Trump coughs and a massive powerful pharmaceutical company jumps. If you can't see that as a microcosm and a good deal more than solipsism then you need to take your head from up your arse.

And I hardly ever start threads. I can start one about what the hell I like without your permission, and I don't need to check off a list of every other thing Trump has done before commenting on this issue.

Because everyone should be interested in world politics. Because how other countries behave affects us all. Because America is influential. Because we should care about the citizens of other countries.

Because just because things aren’t good in the U.K. doesn’t negate the bad things in America. That posters argument is a stupid and baseless one. Of course we should all care. All the time. It’s not a great post at all.

Yes it is, her Monjuro will be more expensive therefore he is a dictator 😂
