Why do Americans just group all of Europe together

Why do you keep saying 'we're going to Europe' when there's such a big difference between Paris and Dunblane lol

Americans also think Britain is a separate country to England, that Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland are the same country, and that Romania is ruled by a count.

@iamthe99 Of dear! Aren't they taught geography at school; or shown maps in News reports?

@iamthe99 You mean Romania is not ruled by a Count???

Deeply disappointed:

@iamthe99 Europeans think they can come to America and see New York, Orlando, and Las Vegas in a 3 day weekend.

@ArishMell No. We are not. We are terrible at geography. TERRIBLE! I'm the only person in America who knows geography.

@helenS Thanks to the EU, it also isn't going to be ruled by the rightful winner of the last election.

@SumKindaMunster The elections were yesterday, and the Romanian people decided to be good Europeans – the right wing extremists lost big time! 🥳 🇪🇺

@helenS And thanks again to Donald J Trump. Another victory for Liberal democracy :)
helenS · 36-40, F
@iamthe99 Exactly 🤣
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@iamthe99 Yah way to invalidate democracy and the rightful winner of the election. Always better to shoehorn in some leftist globalist.


But but but but TRRRRUUUUMMMMMPPPPPP you reply....
helenS · 36-40, F
@SumKindaMunster The whole thing was 100% legal. No-one stormed the parliament violently.
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@helenS Yep.

It's always fine when the people you support win. Completely legal. Only your opposition engages in nefarious election engineering and overturning a legitimate election because they didn't like the result.

@SumKindaMunster You really don't have anything nice to say to me?
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@helenS I treat people the way they treat me or how I see them treat others on here.

@SumKindaMunster What makes you think Georgescu was the rightful winner?

You actually provided a source from an impartial and well-respected site that said that the reason the election was annulled was because of

evidence of voting manipulation through social media platforms, illegal campaign financing on TikTok, cyber-attacks orchestrated by external forces and suspected Russian interference.

9 million people may have expressed a democratic preference for their candidate, but the court cannot allow a result to stand if there was proven election interference, which there was.

Anyway, good news! The Romanian people have exercised their democratic right a second time, and a liberal mayor has defeated a MAGA loving former football hooligan with a penchant for violent rhetoric!

It's a good year for Liberals thus far. Thank you President Trump!

@SumKindaMunster Don’t be bitter just because the result wasn’t what you wanted.

Romania is just one of a long list of liberal victories, thanks in no small part to President Trump.
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@iamthe99 I'm not bitter at all, I just don't think your version of events are as accurate as you want them to be.

I don't really invest myself in the election results of sovereign nations, I figure it's the citizenry who should do that.
iamthe99 · M
@SumKindaMunster Then why did you post an article from a source that you clearly trust, which explained clearly why the election result was annulled?

And the citizenry did indeed invest themselves in their election results, and they chose liberal.

By the way, what evidence do you have that this rerun was fraudulent?

@iamthe99

Information is information. I don't necessarily trust information from this source, but it clearly articulated how and why the rightful winner of the election was annulled and kicked out after he won.

By the way, what evidence do you have that this rerun was fraudulent?


It's interesting they chose to annul the election after the results when they didn't like who won. If it was as they say, fake votes, Russian interference etc, why did they not protect against this, and why only after they got the results? This is a consistent response whenever anyone on the right does well in an election in Europe. The authorities work to delegitimize and engage in lawfare against candidates they don't like. We saw the same in America in the 2016 election. The losers insisted this could only have happened cuz of Russia. Obviously that was bullshit since Trump won again by an even larger margin in 2024.

It's a pattern, and humans seek out patterns to explain their world and perceptions.

@iamthe99
There was real evidence of vote tampering and Russian interference in this election. It was investigated and the result was annulled because the evidence was overwhelming

Where's your proof then?

It's also ridiculous to draw a direct parallel between this result and the US as laws and procedures are different - you should know this.

Why? I gave you my reasoning, and your rebut is that US laws are different? How does that rebut my opinion relevantly?


no people did not say Hillary lost because of Russian interference,


Dude are fucking mad? For the first 2 years of Trump's first term, that's all people did. Blame the Russians for Trump's victory. They insisted he was a Russian asset. There was an investigation on this that took years to get through. At the end nothing was found. It's ridiculous I have to remind you of this.

You claim to be not bitter about this result, but that's just a lie. You don't like the result, and therefore you think that this couldn't have happened. Accept it.

I'm not bitter at all, that is you projecting again. It clearly really bothers you that I'm not frothing mad at your childish provocations.

I see it in your comments to other posters. Clearly, you have some need to put others down and proclaim your superiority.
