Sorry Joe, but apparently we ARE that nation. Now what do we do?

If this guy and his sidekick Garland had done their jobs correctly, this country would not be where it is today. A traitor who instigated Jan 6 is now in office. Just what were these 2 doing in the 4 years prior? They certainly did not protect the country from all enemies foreign or domestic. Joe, Jill and Merrick can go pound sand while citizens pay with blood and lives at the hand of a demented criminal.

I don't get it. He was a US president, right? So why isn't he yelling in all caps and insulting people? /S

Because he can read.

People, including President Biden, continue to say it’s not who we are as Americans, as a nation. I’m convinced it actually is who we are. And that makes me terribly sad.

ta-nehisi coates: "Political violence runs through us. It is our heritage. Is that good? No. Do we valorize it? Absolutely not. Do we minimize it? Absolutely not. But a life free of it is not a thing that's really in reach in my lifetime." (in his interview with ezra klein in the post-kirk rush)

It's who some of us are. Reckoning with that fact is long overdue. Yeah, it's heartbreaking.

Nah, you're humans like the rest of the planet, but you have oligarchs running the country with severe ambitions to polarize it's citizens, since a polarized populous generates hella more revenue than non-polarized citizens. You are practically living through squid games because of rich assholes, which in turn fucks you up in ways not comparable in EU countries, but yeah it's getting gradually worse here aswell
