Of course not.  Did I imply that was the case?

 

America has been in decline for decades. Maybe not for some, but it's undisputed that the middle class is no longer what it was in the 50s and 60s.  I could go into all that, but I don't think it's really necessary.

No, but you butted in a conversation about Trump, which I said not much has changed for the average American since he's been in office.

Maybe in the future read the whole thread before quoting.

All true. But that's the exact same situation they were in 3 months ago, it didn't happen overnight. 

I didn't say it happened overnight.  And the original poster didn't say that, either.  He was discussing some people's perceptions about the Left and about Trump.  You're the one who brought up the issue, as if the Trump supporters were all blaming the left for America's problems.  I'm pretty sure they don't think the problems magically appeared over a three month period. 

When I lived in Appalachia, they kept going on about O-bama phones.

 

They thought he was passing out phones to black people -that he personally was passing them out.

 

Int turned out that during floods and stuff, FEMA might toss disaster victims a cheap flip phone, to all races.

 

I barely comment on his autistic fans here, but I do think "O-bama phone", occasionally when I read them her for snark amusement. O-bama phones. It still cracks me up.

 

I would laugh right in their redneck retard faces. Now I just leave the dimwits alone.

There is a clip somewhere on YouTube of a interviewer trying to explain to a MAGA how a tariff is a tax on goods which is paid for by the buyer of said goods, and the MAGA insisting the tariff is paid by the country exporting the goods to America.

 

As they say, you can't fix stupid.

It cracks me to see these Aussie and Brit died in the wool socialism tit suckers cosplaying as Trump Trash.

 

They don't hunt or love Jeees-us. They're fairly well-educated. They travel. They're in mixed race relationships.

 

They're generally liberal leaning on stuff like abortion and gun and control. They don't wear the funny hat. 

 

They're exactly the soft-left cry babies that Trump hates. Sweet!

Oh dear, I think you've just made a big poo-poo. The only poster I pointed out was deflecting in this thread was the poster EVENKEEL. So you're posting under two handles, then.

Why do you even need to do that KhunLA/EVENKEEL?

Well done, brilliantly spotted.  

The US of A is a big country with 50 states, but to refer to it as united is a bit over the top, to say the least. Laws on just about everything differ from one state to the next. Its like trying to nail jelly to a tree. Yeah, so it a great country, but like so many others, it has its fair share of nutters. Something to upset a few. I count my luck stars I have never been there, and to be honest, really don't ever want to.

Funny post. Thanks for that. It is more likely the deep state controls Trump, and has a very, very sinister agenda. 

 

America is nearly finished. It is becoming less relevant by the month, and that has been happening for 30 years. The goon is only precipitating the decline.

Hopefully, the country will be around for a while and any decline will not be precipitous. The short term disruptions in the stock and bond markets are just that. Short term. The US dollar won't collapse anytime soon, so Trump has some leeway.  

 

I personally think he's screwing up with his latest war budget, but there's not much I can do about that. Stay away from America, perhaps. The inflation will be brutal for some people. Or should I say stagflation?

I keep hearing these red-hatted muppets waffling on like America’s gone down the bog, when truth is, the only thing circling the drain is their grasp on reality. Every one of ‘em’s convinced there’s some secret underground war goin’ on between Trump and the Deep State, like he’s Batman and the Democrats are hiding in the sewers with Nancy Pelosi dressed as the Joker. You can’t even queue for a coffee without one of these loons whispering that George Soros controls the weather and Hunter Biden’s laptop’s got the secret plans for the next pandemic scribbled in Microsoft Paint.

 

Mate, I asked one of ‘em what time it was, and he goes, “Time to wake up, the storm is coming.” I says, “Nah, bruv, I meant the actual time, not your bloody QAnon bedtime story.” They talk about that Hunter laptop like it’s the Ark of the Covenant. No one’s even seen the sodding thing, but apparently it’s got everything from nuclear codes to Hillary Clinton’s horcruxes stored on it. One lad told me he watched a YouTube vid that proves Biden ain’t real, just a bunch of CGI deep fakes stitched together by lizard Democrats and edited by Antifa interns on TikTok.

 

Speaking of Antifa, half these geezers reckon there’s a secret leftist militia hiding in vegan cafés, waiting to overthrow Texas with soy milk and pronouns. I met a bloke in a shooting range shirt who said Hillary Clinton runs a child trafficking ring out the back of a Pizza Hut. I asked him if he even knows how pizza works and he goes, “It’s all symbolism, mate, do your research.” Yeah alright pal, I’ll research a padded cell for the lot of you. And they all still bang on about them missing Hillary emails like they’re holding the last Horcrux. Newsflash: no one cares about your aunt’s forwarded chain letter from 2016.

 

The lot of ‘em think Trump’s still secretly president, ruling from a golden bunker under Mar-a-Lago and sending coded messages through discount T-shirts. “Trust the plan,” they keep saying, but the only plan I see is them getting conned into buying more merch while he pisses about playing golf. One of ‘em had a meltdown in the post office ‘cos they thought the new stamps were encoded with Chinese spyware. And don’t even mention vaccines. They think Bill Gates put microchips in the jab so he can track them—like Microsoft gives a toss what Jeff from Arkansas had for tea.

 

Then there’s the lot who reckon JFK Jr’s coming back from the dead to run with Trump on the next ticket. I says, “You’re confusing politics with The Walking Dead.” Bloke looks me dead in the eye and says, “That’s what they want you to think.” It’s always “they,” innit. “They” faked the moon landing, “they” control the media, “they” made you fail Year 9 Maths. Maybe “they” just need you to log off Facebook and go touch some grass.

 

So yeah, America’s already great. It’s just being held hostage by a bunch of loons who think George Soros is hiding in their fridge, that Hunter Biden’s laptop caused inflation, and that every time the wind blows it’s ‘cos Hillary farted in the direction of freedom. The only deep state here is the deep denial they’re all living in.

🤮🤮

So bullying is OK as long as it doesn't happen to you. Got it, pal.

While the US was a pretty good place in the 50's, 60's, 70's, and 80's, it now seems to be rapidly going downhill, and becoming 3rd; no, 4th world, at an alarming rate.   Having a retarded, ignorant, petulant child in charge, shows that something is very seriously wrong with the country.

 

A bit like; Alice in Wonderland, on bad drugs !!

How many board names do you have now? i lost count.

My ex-Mother in Law voted for Trump -with gusto.

 

She's currently hiding 8 Mexican illegals in her home, the family of her Caretaker. They all watch Fox News together. It's Gooberville, so the intelligence needed to process the irony will never arrive.

 

The Mexican caretaker gets $1,500 a week, off the books. Plus free everything by living there. She makes more than a bank president when you net it all out.

 

She urges her child to study hard in school, but that child just wants soak dumb Whitie for $$$ like her Mama.

 

Mama is racist to the bone; Mama doesn't want a white caretaker -"They steal".

 

This is the 30% of America that we are stuck with like cement shoes.

 

Not the erudite world travelers here who like to strike a contrarian  pose that goofily strikes them as manly.

 

Non-American Trumpers are  Turkeys voting not just for Christmas, but for Christmas every day.

 

He hates you, he laughs at you. If you were any more cuck, you'd be living in a henhouse.

Always been great. Always will.

Sorry but ... the good, the bad and the ugly as can be found elsewhere and in all individuals, as well.

There is a touch of truth to the OPs story. Don't like the truth - well, you can find a nutter online who tells you it is fake news, Deep state, whatever. I remember visiting the USA (Florida) in the 90's and 2005; it was cheaper than the UK for many things and i did consider retiring there; conspiracy theorists i didn't meet.

 

Now, motel prices in USA are about 2-3 times higher than 20 years ago, bread and eggs are cheaper in the UK and eating out costs about the same. Real estate and health costs in USA are astronomical. If i had gone down that route (although was not rich enough to get residence) i would be homeless by now.

 

Mind you, UK is no paradise either. Supermarket prices may be higher than 20 years ago, but food is still relatively cheap - as long as you prepare at home. But you can no longer afford a home - prices have doubled in the last 20 years, while rents have trebled. council tax (local government tax) and energy bills also at least double. A one bedroom flat would consume my entire pension in the South of England if i returned, so would slowly starve (better find a food bank). My son and GF earn nearly 100,000 GBP between them, but cannot afford a house; they spend 25,000 GBP a year on rent for a small flat. Work commitments mean living in London.

 

USA is going to the dogs, so is the UK. Not sure which will collapse first. Just hope that is still at least a decade away, doubt that i will be around then.

LOL! Anyone thinking America is so great at the moment must be sleeping under a stone, live in Thailand and be drunk in a bar every day and dreaming about the "good old days" when America did invade countries everywhere! Lol! At the moment an idiot is at risk of running America into the ground. Former allies of the US is now about to turn their backs on them and seeking other trading partners. What is so great actually???

I hope this tariff threat causes Thailand to end its ruinous taxation on Western goods and services. Expats pay far too much to enjoy Western food and other products.
