How can I debunk an opinion? It's not a fact it's an opinion, you say can "I think the world is flat" I can prove it's round but it doesn't change that you "think it's flat".... Having first hand knowledge of a country by living in it is much different than reading a couple articles about it, that's my point. You literally started name calling the moment someone said they voted for Trump which makes no sense. Do I think Trump is the answer, not really. At the same time Clinton is definitely not the answer.
Well, your point is correct but I did more than "reading a couple of articles" -- such as talking about life frequently with friends and family who have lived in America for all their lives. Additionally, as I pointed out, Trump's policies affect more than just America, which makes my non-American opinion 100% relevant, Additionally additionally, the American voters are voting based on a sentiment which other countries have gone through countless times, which means that we can base our opinions on what history has taught us. For that, you do not need to be an American or have American friends/family -- "reading a couple of articles" will suffice.
People are not exaggerating when they say that Trump was elected into office practically by just yelling equivalents of
"es sind die Juden" over and over again, combined with leeching off the rumors that exist about Hillary Clinton's past. Each and every policy that he plans on implementing will have horrible results if he actually manages to implement them, and it does not take an American to recognize this.
