Ok, ok, maybe I was overblowing it a bit, as well as oversimplifying it as well.
Although I should point out that I intentionally sound crankier than I really am because it sounds funnier that way. So my rants are usually exaggerated.
It is kind of sad the perceived power and influence of the US is eroding or weakening because of that idiot, Trump, but also good in the long run for everyone else, because having centers of power independent America allows for more flexibility and self reliance. Should something happen to the US, everything gets thrown off. At least this way there's alternatives.
I thought Bush Jr was as bad as we could elect. Then came Trump. Who knows what psycho idiot people here might put in office in the next decade. We're a bunch of short sighted morons, and now we're proud of it. That used to be funny when it was just me as idiot, but not with the whole US hopping up and down like colicky maniacs.
