To think that the USA is a dictatorship now?

It really isn’t. I know you’d like to believe the multicultural fantasy, some of us prefer to live in the real world. Other European countries keep the statistics you refer to. The UK doesn’t. I wonder why?

I also think it's massively hypocritical for you to complain about rape while indicating you support an adjudicated rapist who was thick as thieves with Epstein. Doesn't the cognitive dissonance make your head hurt?

Just so I'm clear. You're saying that the POTUS and Prince Andrew were friends of the notorious sex trafficker and rapist, Jeffrey Epstein, and regularly indulged in his "hospitality". Right?

Unfortunately trafficking, rape, child sex abuse and cruelty to women is rife all over the planet. It is seen as the disgusting cancer on society that it is, by right-minded people.

Despite that, America voted for an abusive bully, knowing that he was a multiple sex offender, liar, probable rapist, failed and corrupt businessman whose ass belongs to Russia.🤯

What do you mean by large numbers? That suggests you have statistics on white versus non-white immigrant rape rates. If so, provide them.
Rape is a problem all over the world, all nationalities, all cultures.

Neither of them are remotely communist FFS. Please educate yourself and learn what communism actually is.

Have large numbers of Swedish men, Australian men, Dutch men been raping and abusing little girls? I must have missed that. How strange

Yes I said this earlier. I don’t think he is a dictator but he’s a dangerous individual who has raped and supports rape of women and children. That’s enough for me, no matter what other good or bad he has and hasn’t done. A rapist should never be in such a position of power.

Well said.

A warning not be so fucking stupid and horrible?

Her friend died - she posted the lyrics of his favourite song as a tribute to him - and you think her punishment was fitting?

You’re out of your mind.

Why are you all supporting a rapist? Grim.
If nothing else the man is a liar and a rapist.
Campaigns on releasing the Epstein files and then realised he was in there, so now they don't exist either.
There are a disturbing amount of powerful Republican Party members being locked up for child abuse right now too.
Tariffs on everything making it incredibly hard for people to run their businesses but selling it as America doesn't pay them! Stupid.
I wonder less at the lack of IQ and more at the lack of compassion of people who support rapist Donald Trump.

Your last paragraph is so Trumpy and smacks of racism. You assume immigrants are rapists, just like the orange thing once famously said. I would bet good money that attitude doesn't apply to white immigrants from, for example, Sweden, Holland or Australia.

And again, you’re arguing this U.K. vs US thing when it shouldn’t be. No one here has defended Starmer. But that doesn’t mean people can’t discuss Trump. Bad Trump doesn’t equal good Starmer. Issues in the UK don’t negate problems in the US. The world is having serious problems, all countries have issues, no one is perfect. But that doesn’t mean we can’t discuss other countries. Thats a silly argument.

They’re not there yet but certainly on that path.

Terrifying.

Yet you’re arguing that the OP is obsessed with him whilst you seem to be overly invested in defending him.

Again, we should all take note of politics in other countries. It’s important to be involved in world politics, not just your own country. The rest of the world also influences us. For examples the current plastics treaty in Geneva, as an example, will an affect us and it involves over 100 countries. Just because you don’t live in a country doesn’t mean you can’t care about its politics.

And how many people voted for Starmer?

Oh yes… 33%.

re dictatorship:

We could say Trump is trying to crack down on crime.

Or we could say he's testing the water of how far he can push Washington US citizens.

It's a bold move whatever it's intentions. Or does it feel like a bold move because of the way it's been reported/ portrayed?

He’s not my president. Do you struggle with reading comprehension? How many times have I said I’m not an American. You’re expecting me to take this all this personally 😂

And yet your examples are mainly stuff you don't like.

The idea that legislation around Big Pharma companies is horrible dictator stuff is kind of fascinating given the usual criticisms people on the left have made against American health care. Is it only big pharma that has to be given free reign - how about, say, medical insurance providers?

Many countries legislate what pharma companies can do and how they can sell and what kinds of prices they need to offer. Somehow it doesn't make them dictatorships.

There are real dictatorships out there, the thing they have in common is that the people have no way to choose their representatives, or in some cases, it's a sham. Think China, or Russia.

I said supposed ‘far right’.

Do you think children are not groomed, trafficked and raped in the US? Have you not heard of Jeffrey Epstein?

Trump would love to be a dictator.
He admires and envies them.

It'll be interesting to see what happens towards the end of his term.

So you agree the far right is emerging?

A Capitalist kind of dictator.

What dictatorship policies? An executive order for pharmaceutical companies to stop charging Americans way more than other countries?

an exec order to stop people crossing the border illegally and unauthorized?

an order that people in the country illegally should be deported?

policies to push companies to bring back manufacturing and jobs to the US rather than sending jobs to low cost countries at the detriment if Americans jobs? Which will also reduce dependence on china a rival?

policies to level the playing field when it comes to trade?

which one is dictatorial? How many people have been killed or arrested for demonstrating?

As I said I live in Chicago and there’s literally a constant protest near Trump tower with no one arrested but you claim he’s a dictator. Get off Reddit and leave Americans alone.

Did you have the same reaction when lower courts abuse their powers to frustrate a presidents policies even though they know it will get overturned at appeal but they just want to delay and frustrate the process?
