Do you know how arrogant you are expecting everyone to know about the USA? It is not the only place on Earth!🌎

Americans should try and get out of their country every now and then to get some perspective on what is happening everywhere else! It’s the way they are controlling you there, two of your greatest founding fathers travelled outside the USA - John Adams and Benjamin Franklin, and one of your greatest legislators in Thomas Jefferson, and several others took to going out of the country to see what is happening elsewhere. Don’t rely on the media, or any other controlling agency. See for yourself!

Some people on this site think it is "right" for America to police the world. Which makes me laugh. In some states, they can't police themselves.

@autumngirl27 that's, a pretty old attitude ,I don't think a lot of us think that way anymore.
I can't speak for the politicians of course

@Justmeraeagain It looks like the attitude of the MAGAs from what I've read over the last few weeks.

@autumngirl27 I honestly think we all have verying opinion within our groups.
But, the politicians keep pushing us into narrower and narrower margins of possibilities.

@Justmeraeagain It's tempting to blame 'the politicians' for incestuous nationalism etc; goodness knows plenty of their behavior is atrocious; but if you/we go where they're pushing, (and keep electing more of the same types) WE are the problem.

No I don't see a painless way to fix it, but pointing at the wrong people doesn't help.

"A lot of us" - Do you think you are speaking for the global population, or just the USA?
