    Can’t trust Americans or can’t trust the United States because those are two inherently different groups.

      both… after electing a convicted felon and rapist to the presidency for a SECOND time, Americans cannot escape responsability in my books

        Sorta… But only about 65% of us voted in the last election and of that only 50% voted for these douchebags. And of those, most of them voted that way because of a single R. So I’d guess around 75% of the people don’t agree with what is going on.

        So as a concrete example, I’m an American and I’d go out of my way to help most anyone but I am not the United States.

          Sorry but the 35% who didn’t vote, knowing the threat of Trump becoming president again was looming, are no different than those who voted Republican.

          The whole world remember his first presidential term. And we all saw the Project 2025 playbook. The US is in a mess of its own creation.

          As a Brit, I too have lost trust in Americans unless proved otherwise.
