    I feel like so many people were already fed up with the us for a long time, but because everyone is now being offended at the same time and everyone is reacting simultaneously, it is now much more visible.

        I’m not who you replied to, but leaving is not easy. Moving costs money and puts you far away from friends and family. You also need to be able to stay in the country long enough to be able to apply for citizenship and that’s not easy either. Also if you’re a minority going through TSA is scary because who knows if they are going to pull you aside and assault you or worse. I’m trans and I’ve thought of leaving but TSA scares me.

      What is the stupid “freedom fries” thing and how does it compare to the current situation?

      What I know of “freedom fries” seemed to me an inconsequential little bit of cosmetic chauvinism, while the current status of things is that the US have decided to strongly oppose Europe in both economic and geopolitical terms.

    Canada, Europe, China, and Latin America should all collectively boycott the US, see how long they can keep that attitude up

    I wish there was a way for them to focus their hatred to trump and his gang of criminals rather than to all U.S. citizens, but like the red hatted dip shits say - “it is what it is”.

      The majority of U.S. citizens allowed Trump to happen. 1/3 voted for him, 1/3 didn’t give a shit enough to get off their ass and vote.

      Trump IS America.
