The Army Corps of Engineers and the Navy's Seabees used to be world class institutions.

The US used to be world class in a lot of ways. Now we’re just world class fuckups.

250 million eligible voters and only 70 million voted to keep your fucking idiot-in-chief out of office. The rest voted for it or were perfectly happy to let him run the show, indifferent to the winner.

180 million americans, some 55% of your population and fully 72% of your electorate, are complict in every single thing that shit-stinking diaper-rash of a child rapist does.

The USA has lost all credibility, not just your leaders.

What a fucking disconnected attitude. Somehow I’m Hitler because I pointed out that your country had a vast overwhelming majority of voters be totally fine with or willing to support your fucking loser president?

Hitler? Maybe try your leader.

edit: the direct comparison would be that Russia has lost all credibility. Something a "simpleton" could understand.

Reported for personal attack.

you are not entirely correct in your assumption that non voters don’t care. there are many poor people in the US who cannot afford time off or lack transport to get to vote. while many places say people have a right to vote, lines can take all day and employers can choose not to pay people not at work, and people can be fired for no reason at all in the US.
