My employer is a global player and my team is working with a number of different nations spread over almost all continents.
Everyone - including our American friends are completely dumbfunded on what's going on in the former land of the free.
Basically the US is the punchline of every joke and while satire writes itself these days I have to pinch myself to remind me that this isn't a trash TV show that's unfolding beneath our very eyes.

So my question here is:

How do Muricans cope with this?
And I don't just mean the ones who are educated enough to realize the Coup that's going on. Everyone should gimme a chance to understand how you can live another day with such an embarressing shit show taking place each and every day.

Outsiders figured that Democrats have it easy now gaining ground - but they seem to be in awe at the level of corruption taking place now that they never achieved.

While there is some gloating hovering around it's mainly concern that I pick up when we talk about it.
My condolences to you all

Americans are doing much better than Europeans. Financially and also freedom-wise. What are you talking about?

r u a russian bot?

hot take

Standard NPC response…

Well that's certainly not true lol

According to the Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll, 37 percent of people trust Trump to do a better job handling the country's main problems than they trust Democrats in Congress. Some, 30 percent would trust the Democrats more than Trump

Why wouldn't you answer the question

I don't see any books banned out of school libraries here.

America will always be better than whatever shit hole you're living in

as a canadian who is seeing canada consistently make the wrong decisions when it comes to global policy and the treatment of its domestic, canadian born population, i can certainly say that americans cope by;

having a strong, diversified economy.
high gdp per capita
being the land of the free
gun ownership (i used to be against gun ownership before but after seeing what the liberal gov of canada has done by mass importing terrorists and criminals to canada, i believe that citizens should have the right to arm and defend themselves, especially their own homes)
opportunity to actually work hard and prosper from the hard work.
national identity that most people want to work to protect.


not to say that there arent things that should be ignored examples include;
the coalition between big pharma and big food corps that has resulted in the deterioration of american's health and wellbeing.
mass immigration of illegals coming into the country facilitated and aided by people who are sworn to protect america.


ive had a lot of friends/family who are professionals born in canada move to the US and say that they are way more relaxed there, make good money, and have great opportunity for advancement. when they were in canada, they were stretched thin, paying taxes out the wazoo for services that they could not use and seeing our infrastructure deteriorate at an alarming speed. In addition, the cost of housing is astronomical across the country because the government decided to treat real estate as an investment.

That's what we all thought - until... well y'all know what happened
