Political Memes

I do understand disenfranchisement a little, living in a rural electorate that has voted conservative, state and federal for over a century and the only vote I have that counts is a proportional one in our multi-party senate. Many people feel frustrated around the world at the moment, not least because of the impact US domestic politics is having on us all.

We have our own election coming up here and it might be all we can do to keep the Trump quisling to a minority government. We all have our problems.

I hope you can understand why I don't think the rest of the world can rely on the people of the USA to stand together against tyranny and why I don't have a lot of sympathy for posts asking for our understanding. The US couldn't commit collectively to action on an ongoing national tragedy that should unite everyone regardless of faith or politics. What could be a more pressing issue for a country than years of senseless massacres? It doesn't inspire confidence.

Your nation's collective justification for sacrificing all those kids was so you could have a well armed militia to defend democracy from tyranny or some such nonsense. How is that working out so far? Perhaps the US could have just saved the kids and been factually good people and then they wouldn't have needed to worry so much about tyranny and justifying their actions. What I am getting at is there is a bit of a reap what you sow theme going on and while I can empathise with individuals like yourself I can't collectively make sense of your country or your weird attitudes. How do you even give up on school massacres?
