This is a really flimsy talking point I'm so sick of.

We refer to you as Americans because that's what you told us to call you. We are judging the actions and system of government you set up, and are paying for.. Are you somehow now suggesting that unless there is 100% internal consensus you are unresponsible for the actions of the government your money pays? Your internal politics are your god-damn problem. I could not care about how you internally identify.

Reality check: The man you all tolds us is in charge of your country now is threatening me and my family now on the international stage.

So own it. You are literally paying your money to keep it going. It is yours. You built it, you are funding it.. For decades we've listened to you go on and on (and fucking on) about your freedoms. Good. Now is the time to prove you are both brave and free. Stop posting on Lemmy and go get in contact with people doing the actual, real work of defending your country. Stop coming here and defending yourself from me ffs. I'm just your pissed off neighbour. It doesn't matter what I think. Go do something useful ffs.

As it stands, it seems that Trump represents you feckless cowards perfectly.
