It is controversy when minorities get priorities above democracies standards, which can seem unfair among average Joe

Try watching the video to see how pathetic that once grand tourist hotspot has become, then instead of discussing important issues the sitting major asks a candidate if he can name 3 drag queens.

Why do you care? Could you even afford to live there?

Except on Freddie Mercury. Always an exception to rules.

Trump and his kool-aid stricken cult followers are more deluded and pathetic than even the 5 top buffoons that post the most nonsensical rubbish on AN.

Another "I hate Trump thread". The spam woke crowd seem to be getting windy, bless 'em.

Woke, simp, snowflake, etc. More of the pathetic and rhetorical vocabulary that evolved in the USA after the birth of the MAGA disease. I have never met anybody personally who uses those words, thank goodness.

When exactly did normalcy fully disappear from American civil society and it turned into this dystopian republic of fools living in some bizarre and fake alternative reality? 🙄 

 

 
If you can even make it through more than the first 7 minutes of this without throwing up then let me know. 

Well, to educate you a little and operate on facts as distinct from your feelings.

 

It started when Americans voted overwhelming and rejected the decades of Washington DC political swamp corruption and collusion of both Democrats and Republicans.

 

If you recall, he ran on draining the swamp and putting Americans first again.

 

You see, government is by the people, of the people and for the people, not for politicians to squander people's taxation money with their pet projects and foreign interests while feathering their own pockets.

 

Donald Trump, no matter what you think of him personally, is a businessman, not a politician.

 

The swamp, deep state bureaucrats, aided by Big Tech and Big Media, decided Trump was a threat to their kleptocracy as soon as he came down the escalator of Trump Tower.

 

So IMHO the origins of what you call "dystopian republic of fools" is a byproduct of the above.

I've been visiting SF for over 40 yrs. Was a fun day trip, get to the wharf early, get some clam chowder and a bud for breakfast. I was there last 2 yrs ago. Don't think I'll bother anymore.

So you're the yahoo tourist that goes to that tourist trap wharf. San Franciscans don't go there.

To be born British is to win first prize in the lottery of life.  What can I say? We invented the Westminster System, The Magna Carta and democracy.  Not sure what America did with it after that.

Yes the maga fascists are a minority though but unfortunately the structure of the US election system allows them the real chance of taking total power anyway.

 

You mean democracy? 😆 🤣 😂 

 

Honestly, it's the liberals who have turned totalitarian

Just the picture of that video is enough to not click on it and watch even one second.

 

About the question when it started: I remember when Geroge W Busch got elected and many people all over the world thought that Americans are crazy. And many of us thought it can't get worse. Please, anybody but W. And then Trump appeared, and it got worse, a lot worse.

I don't know where it will go from here, but at least I am very careful with hoping anything else will be better. I am sure the Americans will find someone worse.

they did .....   they got bamboozaling Biden and Word Salad Kamala
