Those comments i replied to ticked me off. I just cant understand how such a great country has been revealed to be a fraud. I simply can’t. Also I didnt call America a shithole. I am referring to the US and the current dangerous path its taking. Other countries in America, i.e. Canada seem to be fine - albeit not perfect. If you can clarify how many on HN dont find the current state of affairs problematic I’d give you a few beers. I love the US for what i thought it represents but right now I feel let down. Edit: I am genuinely looking for answers. Many times when the topic of the US as a democracy has been brought up in conversations with either brits, french, germans, i had to defend the us as an example of how things should be and had faced strong disagreements, many supporting it is what we all see today the US is, and this was years before 2020. I feel like a clown for having been so passionate in my defence of that country. Heck i wanted an EU modeled around it. Now we see an utterly corrupt, potentially authoritarian, country with serious disregard for human rights and a total lack of respect for it’s own.

  Looks like 'the radical left' seem to be something the current establishment are concerned about. Maybe a good time to take a look at what that group suggests and start supporting that instead of letting you be scared by 'liberals'. As a european it is absolutely beyond me by which skullduggery one could convince a people not to want general public health insurance. It is truly baffeling. Take it to the streets and start fixing your country. Also please make sure that in the future no insane person gets the nuclear codes. Also absolutely baffling why this batshit crazy dude still has 40% support. What is wrong with you? Ok, downvote me. I don't care.

    While I don't necessarily disagree with your sentiments, the comment isn't congruent with HN guidelines. Better to keep the comments centered on the topic of the article.
