Most Americans will probably have to learn Russian soon, the way things are going.

Kind of like how most Europeans will need to learn Arabic. I’m so glad I left.@LeopoldBloom
@ValhallaAwaitsUs Where did you go?
ValhallaAwaitsUs · 31-35, M
@LeopoldBloom I was born and raised in a Belgium and Gained citizenship and moved to the US
@ValhallaAwaitsUs Welcome. You're lucky you got in, what with Twitler in charge now.

@LeopoldBloom Coming from a differing opinion I for one think “Twitler” is doing a great job and am glad I came here instead of stayed in Belgium
@ValhallaAwaitsUs Sure, he's doing a great job...if you're a white supremacist, that is. Not so great if you're anything else.

Although, we're protected from the worst of his malevolence by his sheer incompetence, and when the Democrats take over Congress next year, he'll have his hands full with the investigations into every aspect of his life. I wouldn't be surprised if he resigns rather than put up with that - like most bullies, he's just a big baby.

@LeopoldBloom Eh, that’s just the spooky language I seem to see people like you use, I don’t know what this fetish these people have with wanting things to seem far proportionately worse than they really are.

Almost like these people are bored and have no hobbies.
@ValhallaAwaitsUs He's locking up refugee children in cages, and has talked about rounding up Muslims and illegal immigrants. He referred to actual Nazis as "good people." Maybe this doesn't bother you because you're a white man who comes from the part of Europe he approves of.

Maybe you weren't here during the Obama years, where conservatives talked like he was going to outlaw Christianity, force everyone to get gay married, and turn the U.S. into a communist sharia law dictatorship. Trump was one of the biggest promoters of the conspiracy theory claiming that Obama was born in Kenya.

@LeopoldBloom I adored Obama and Trumo has never spoke word of Belgium. And I would stop saying what you’re saying about “the white man” because that makes you look like you think people differ from their skin tone and that’s pretty ignorant my friend.

As for children and families being locked away that has been going on in the US since 1991. It just seems everyone knows about it now b cause they were told to hate Trump.

It’s pretty easy to tell who has to ability to perform critical thinking vs those who are just spoon fed.
@ValhallaAwaitsUs Trump very obviously favors white people and has contempt for black and brown people. He's shown evidence of that his entire life. He was repeatedly fined for discriminating against black renters in his apartments, and he continued to call for the execution of the Central Park Five even after DNA evidence exonerated them. And if you don't think the Kenya birther conspiracy wasn't racially motivated, you're delusional.

No one told me to hate Trump. I figured he was just another Hollywood idiot who decided to run for office. But during his campaign he crossed the line many times.

Just because people disagree with you doesn't mean they're following a party line.

@LeopoldBloom it’s not that you disagree with me, it’s how you present yourself. I know he is no saint like some of the people who voted for him but he’s also not the worst that some of the people who would wish death upon him think.
@ValhallaAwaitsUs I don't wish death on him and I call out other liberals who do. But he's clearly incompetent and has surrounded himself with some very bad people. The damage he is doing to the US on the world stage will take a long time to fix, if ever.
ValhallaAwaitsUs · 31-35, M
@LeopoldBloom you call it damage but it’s enough to make many Europeans pack their bags and head over to the states because they’re tired of their countries screwing things up.
@ValhallaAwaitsUs You know the U.S. is divided, and whatever Trump does will be reversed by the next president and congress? And one thing he's done is finally motivate Democrats to vote.
ValhallaAwaitsUs · 31-35, M
I don’t know, I see hate from both sides but the left seems a bit louder on the hate train.

And from what I have learned it’s the colleges and media that are dividing people up.
@ValhallaAwaitsUs Were you here when Obama was president? The hate from the right at that time was at a fever pitch. And you must have noticed the hate directed at Clinton during the campaign.

Trump and the Republicans are in power now, so of course there's more hatred directed at them. If the Democrats take over the House in November, you'll see plenty of hatred directed at Nancy Pelosi or whoever the new Democratic speaker is.

I see plenty of hate coming from right-wing media. It's not limited to the left by any means. And colleges have been hotbeds of radicalism since the 1960s.
