If I was living in America and joined the Log Cabin Republicans, I would probably get kicked out in short notice. Looking at the GOP, the party is pathetic. Dan Crenshaw loves censorship and denies that the USS Liberty ever happened. Mitch McConnell is pathetic. The governor of Vermont Phil Scott might as well be a Democrat. Peter Theil co-founded PayPal, a site which deplatforms people and steals their money, and Theil has done nothing about it. Donald Trump himself has failed to pardon Edward Snowden and Julian Assange. Lindsay Graham is a Warhawk. Charlie Kirk, who runs Turning Point USA, has no passion at all except when it comes to Israel. Alex Jones is a charlatan who poisons the well with conspiracy theories about 9/11 and believes in Qanon. Lynn Wood pushes the QAnon bullshit, which has incited well meaning patriotic Americans to do stupid, reckless things. Steven Crowder thinks that there was no genocide against Native Americans. Nick Fuentes tries to exclude gay people from the Republican Party despite being a homosexual himself, and he trusts idiots like Alex Jones. Gavin McInnes has founded Vice, founded the Proud Boys (and later threw them under the bus after he got them into trouble) and shoved phallic items up his arse on camera. And don’t get me started on that brainless twat called Baked Alaska.

How are the Republicans supposed to defeat the Democrats in 2022 and 2024 when they have so many stupid or dishonest clowns in their party? I don’t know why the Democrats are afraid of the GOP, because instead they should be amused.

Yep, you nailed it. Funny when foreigners get our politics better than actual Americans. America is fucked right now.

I wouldn’t say that foreigners are better at American politics than Americans are. Just that most people on the planet are not interested in politics and only understand what the media is saying. With America being the most powerful country in the world for now, most people across the planet are familiar with American politics. And sometimes foreigners hear what Americans don’t hear.

On the flip side, the average non-American is just as ignorant as the average American. A lot of Irish people know more about America than they know about Ireland. A lot of Irish people don’t know much about the European Union either, except that Ireland is a part of it. Most Irish people only speak English, which is why Irish people are so ignorant on a lot of things that happen outside of Ireland, America and Britain, and even then, some Irish people can be ignorant on what is happening in Ireland. So being ignorant of your own history is not an exclusively American thing.
