I’m a Brit (yeah, I know my profile says Spain – that’s simply because it’s where I live now) and everytime I say something that criticizes America, I get two responses from the less informed Americans.
1. We kicked your ass because we didn’t want to live under the tyranny of your king.
Well done, you removed the tyranny of a single monarch and proceeded to replace him with nine monarchs sitting on the SCOTUS bench for life. How’s that working out for you now?
2. If it wasn’t for us, you’d all be speaking German and living under fascism.
Well done, you helped us to beat Nazi Germany only to create your own version of fascism now.
I'm as certain as I can be that, when Margaret Atwood published this amazing book in 1985, she had no intention for it to become the GOP manifesto in 2022.

As a British-American, I can say with understanding that you don’t know what you are talking about. You have no idea how the US Constitution and The SCOTUS works. There was a time when I was ignorant too, but just know from one Brit to another, you are so wrong.
@Carissimi I know that your political system is as dysfunctional as fuck. I know that your founding fathers designed it that way. I know that your Constitution was a blatant lie from day one. I know that it was authored by those same founding fathers and is used to keep your political system dysfunctional.
So ask yourself, were they all a bunch of blithering idiots or, was there method to their obvious madness?
