The US has gone completely batshit insane.
Americans used to fight Nazis and Commies, but have now become Nazis and Commies.
Americans are simply unable to see hypocrisy or understand unintended consequences.
Americans say Obama was an asshole for destroying the US with wars, debt, and tyranny, but then they turn around and scream Trump is a holy god for supporting wars, debt, and the police state.
Americans think the government can magically rule by decree.
Americans say tyranny only affects others and that they are immune from the police state.
Americans insist freedom only benefits other people.
Americans want the government to ban saggy pants and smoking, but then they are puzzled why prisons are overcrowded.
Americans demand that the government start a trade war, but then they are stunned when prices rise and no one wants US exports.
Americans say tiny homes must be illegal, but then they baffled why homelessness and housing costs increase.
Americans beg for welfare and then they are shocked that the US debt is growing.
Americans want the government to have regulations and high minimum wages, but then they are dumbfounded why there are no jobs.
Americans want the government to start endless wars, but then Americans do not understand why the world hates the USA and why there are refugees, terrorism, and tyranny.
Anyone who loves wars, debt, and tyranny is considered to be normal and anyone who supports peace, balanced budgets, and freedom is called a nutjob and racist and is banned, gets an IRS audit, gets arrested, or is killed.
The entire country seems to be committing suicide.
WTF?
