No matter what happens, I believe the author is correct. Europe will not trust the US in a long time. Trump actually has managed to destroy the image of America in the entire world, in a few months.

Actually it’s pretty clear a significant portion of the American population is enthusiastic about this. I don’t know what is provocative about pointing out that Americans are renowned for their racism, transphobia, and misogyny. This country had literal slaves for 200 years, has only let women vote for less than 100 years, and still pretends the Civil War was about states rights. Open your eyes: this IS what America wants, and who America has decided to become.
the floor for being enthusiastic about this is voting for it, so your first assertion is flat wrong. that none voting third is too apathetic to care about other people. the saying has been floating around for a while about the 1/3 that wants to kill you while the other third watches.
every country has committed atrocities. inherited sin is stupid. we can acknowledge the errors and systemic issues of our forefathers and move passed them.
I won’t split hairs about what enthusiasm really looks like, but I’ll respond to your last point: I agree, but it is naive and dangerous to argue that the United States has even come close to acknowledging its sins. Until then, you all will bear the full weight of those sins, like it or not.
you’re a miserable sack of shit then, got it.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply. Good luck with life.
