No need for the good luck. This thread has convinced me to just be non-political. Everyone thinks the US sucks, is too broken to fix and like you pointed out the small win I came to this thread hoping to celebrate is as you called it (in your cultures encouraging insightful way) nothing but a pyrrhic victory, and I get too attached to politics. Probably best I just become non-political. But good luck to you.

if you're giving up that easily, you're just a troll

  • WTF troll angle would I have? I'm an anti-Trump positivity troll? huh? Trolling with 'let's beat this trash and rebuild'? That's trolling to people who want to... beat this trash and rebuild?

    Nah go read my historical posting, worse than a troll, I was a believer of trying to make things better. I'm just burnt out. To be told by this individual that I need to go re-read and internalize that I'm a racist, uneducated piece of shit and that the USA in inherently irredeemable because I'm anti the negativity, and that that is somehow positive, productive talk in their culture I am misunderstanding because I'm not culturally understanding (cultural sensitivity now covers crappy British style snark/negativity/dryness)?

    I'm a racist, uneducated, and troll now I guess, because I challenged the piling on and felt the US was redeemable? Fuck it. This is just coming from everywhere and has worn me down, I came this article for just a little win. I'm out. Hope you all find some perfect alliance of America sucks I hate it but also lets rebuild it people that also require everything to be perfect day one and any incremental work towards better is the same as awful and not worth it and just pyrrhic victories or whatever the logic here is.
