In most movies and books, you would say they are two dimensional villains and would only be villains for children's cartoons.

Almost every single day, I read something that makes me think, “Nah… he couldn’t have said something that stupid!” And yet he does. Every single day.

He is the perfect icing on the cake of this Administration of Ignorance.

Largest military budget by a factor of 4-8x in the world. Not even including US Intel, DHS paramilitaries, Mass incarceration, COIN warfare on US citizens adding another $250-500 billion The U.S. military budget is the largest in the world, totaling approximately $997b in 2024, which accounts for nearly 40%
of global military expenditures. The U.S. spends more on defense than the next 9 to 10 countries combined. This expenditure is roughly three to four times higher than China's estimated $317b.

Haha, no they wouldn't.

Yeah, so many other places, right?

GOPedos are irony impaired.

Impaired implies that it's involuntary, but they know exactly what they're doing.

We all see it. They describe places they hate in terms of what's common in the USA. It's mass psychosis, if it's anything.

Reminds me of Sacha Baron Cohen’s dictator speech. https://youtu.be/XUSiCEx3e-0

Yes. It comes to mind. It's depressing realizing three things since I became an adult.
1) I didn't give cartoon villains enough credit. I thought them absurd but Trump and crew have proved me wrong.
2) That satire loses meaning when people are so transparently absurd in their evil.
3) Realizing that the worst people in charge are willing to cannibalize everything and everyone in the nation for their shortsighted goals.

"You know, the problem with the Bugs is that they're relentless expansionists. In their region of space, we've found them on nearly every planet we've settled."
"Here's the problem with the Bots, Helldiver: Their whole society revolves around violence. If they actually won the war, they'd have no idea how to function."

American history has pretty much been fucked up since the Puritans landed here, and from what we've seen the last couple hundred years hasn't changed a whole hell of a lot

Not really. Its had ups and downs. Like between 1944 and 1964 the rich had to pay 92% income tax which forced them to either invest in their workers or choose to pay tax to the government. Both of which options resulted in creating the golden age of america. Its been racing downhill since 1965.

We went to space. I'd like to see the Mayflower accomplish that. This comment is meant as humour.

Was lucky enough to spend a couple Halloweens in Salem. A lot of fun. And yes, Puritans were (are) the absolute worst.

I like to think Nixon was the begining.

No the beginning is when Adam and Steve were in the garden of Eden and god made them ribs for some reason?
I dunno it’s been a while, I forget the specifics

He wasn't, he was a symptom. America has been a bollocks of an attempt at a country since it was stolen from the natives. At no point was America a good concept.

If you're going to pick a president it's Woodrow Wilson.

Puritans were such religious extremists no one in England listened to them. But yeah sure… they were fleeing religious oppression or so American history classes say. Remind you of US Christian nutjobs screaming about canceled christmases and wondering why they cant have brown slaves ?
WireWynaut
The 'oppression' being that they weren't allowed to aggressively persecute others really just shows that that bully-playing-victim side of some people hasn't changed.
