I'm really tired of the, "Americans are so d*mb!" remarks. Many of us are aware and engaged, did not vote for any of this, and are actively fighting it. Can we just stop writing off entire populations because of the actions of their government? - ThreadSky

Calling Americans dumb while ignoring we are probably one of the most heavily propagandized nations on earth is definitely counterproductive. We should be dismantling narratives that keep people focused on the two-party systems, and we can't do that while we're shaking our fannies at half of them.

That's not even touching on the intellectual ableism that's always inherent in using intelligence as an insult but no one ever wants to hear that when they're trying to make themselves feel superior.

If you're not from here and you're going to generalize about "Americans", at least specify which ones are responsible for this because to do otherwise reeks of bigotry.

The ironic part to me is 9 times out of 10 the people clowning us and what not have fascist movements in their own countries gaining tons of steam. Like, bruh. Focus on your shit instead of just trolling 😭
