how about wsj“You”?

Not so. I'm angry because the democrats are taking America down a shit-hole.
For the last 40+ years, through both conservative and liberal administrations, most Americans say we're "headed in the wrong direction." I've spoken with many folks from Europe and Canada, and they can't understand this. Political discussions in those countries rarely become heated and lack the childish name calling and personal attacks so common here in America. Standards of living in Europe are no better than that of America, yet Europeans are happier and more optimistic of most Americans. Why is this? Maybe we still have a few things to learn from older cultures.
You are right. But I think that's more a function of how people now a days consume information than it is off Trump.I bet you our divisive form of politics is coming to their countries. Conservatives in those countries are following Trump's lead. Rudy has a business, or had a business, where he consulted with authoritarian regimes and he helped them "win" elections. Much like he tried to help Trump win when he lost.
An Ipsos survey of citizens in nine European countries finds a majority of respondents (73%) think things across the EU are headed in the wrong direction, and fewer than half agree that EU membership has improved their own standard of living. Attitudes are most negative among French respondents, with only 15% saying the union is on the right track, and of all countries surveyed only Spain responded more positively to this question than in 2014.

If you get your information solely from the internet as a lot of people do. It is very easy to suffer from conformation bias. And you are much more likely to become partisan in your beliefs.
In otherwords you pick sources that align with what you want to hear and see. thanks for proving his point.Where else should I get my news? I have the internet and cable news. I get my news from liberal sources.
The best place to go to find out if your news is wrong is USMB. If it's a lie, Republicans will be quick to point it out.

Nope. I believe they are closer to the truth. But even they are controlled by corporatons/rich people so I know they are censored too. For example none of them were liberal enough to say Bush lied us into Iraq even though he clearly did.In otherwords you pick sources that align with what you want to hear and see. thanks for proving his point.

Yea but you are going to go fight for your oppressors. A con man. A nazi.Europeans have accepted their fate.
Canadians are too polite to fight.
Americans aren't going to go quietly.
As the years move on, I think more and more that the man with ears was a shill to stop the so-called Republicans going 16 years in a row with a President having an R next to his name. There was a difference though between Reagan and George Senior.It was just about 40 years ago that a little guy with big ears scared the shit out of the two parties.
They had two choices, field better candidates or do all in their power to divide the country so we are too busy fighting each other and they can do whatever they want. They went with the latter and have worked to divide the nation to ensure the power of the duopoly is never again threatened.
The saddest part of all is how many people are happy, willing participants in this endeavor. There is now nothing in our country that is not made political, and that is be design.
It is one of the many reasons the wife and I will move out of the country when we retire.
God ou are AMAZINGLY STUPID and gullible.Yea but you are going to go fight for your oppressors. A con man. A nazi.
Think about it. Your orange messiah lied to you and sent you to the Capitol to steal the election. That's not very democratic of you guys. Are you sure you love America? Because I think you'd be happier in Russia or somewhere else where people's votes don't count/matter.
"They" use social wedge issues to divide us. Who's they? Rich greedy republicans. Trump;s the king of rich and greedy.
Europeans have accepted their fate.
Canadians are too polite to fight.

Me? Trump is clearly a con man and you guys love him. Just don't get it. So 40% of Republicans and 100% of Democrats are wrong about the guy? He's just misunderstood?God ou are AMAZINGLY STUPID and gullible.
Retard and ignorant you are so bright.Me? Trump is clearly a con man and you guys love him. Just don't get it. So 40% of Republicans and 100% of Democrats are wrong about the guy? He's just misunderstood?
This has been the longest job interview. If it were up to me, I wouldn't hire Trump for any job. He's not just unfit to be POTUS he's unfit to be a business owner. A con man.
My god! Nothing Hitler does will change your mind.
one more for good measure“You”?
Where are you from?
first things first..let's ship the UN to europe and they pay for itSo to answer the thread question, Americans are angry because we are working too hard to pay for defense to be the world's cop.
The EU has August off on holiday, and hardly any taxes for defense. Barely meeting NATO is just not enough.
IMHO the US should let the EU pay for Ukraine's defense, we're occupied with China, NK, Iran, etc.
The EU needs to police their zone without the US.
