1. As a Francophile and an American citizen,

this made me incredibly sad.

3. The US has a significant number of really stupid people and authoritarians. The authoritarians

vote in the worst interest of the US and drag the stupid people in the US along with them. The ignorance in the US is appalling.

4. It's not "their government."

It's the fucking current administration. I don't believe for a second that this would have happened under Obama.

6. Oh no no no

Unfortunately to a certain group of people, Dems are the same as Reps.

8. Exactly!

5. A lot of stupid people also

vote against their own best interests because their candidate didn't win so they want to blow up the system just because.

Cut off the nose to spite the face.

7. Yeah, that seems to go around a lot.

I've known a lot of folks who "don't have a nose anymore."

9. They say capitalism is one of the best systems out there, but I disagree. It's only the best for...

the so called 1% in America, and the rest of us have to suffer w/o really any benefits or basically, face the music alone.

Whatever has happened to the creed (A. Lincoln) “government of the people, by the people, for the people”?

IMHO, something needs to be done to rectify this scenario in that governance needs to be improved and not allow the POS in the WH so much power (he doesn't really have all that much power, but he sure is trying, isn't he?).
