The stats I keep using with my Trump supporting family (at least the ones I still talk to) is that in 2016 the US was roughly 4.5% of the world pop 21% of world econ and in 2024 it's was like 4.2% and 25%. It's not the world taking advantage of us.

You are using reason to conduct a discussion when the other people didn’t use reason to form their opinion. It won’t work.

I know. It's more for me and any people listening. For them I just let that know that the Trump voters I know fall sonewhere in a Venn diagram of greedy, bigoted, and/or really low information and see what sparks fly.
