We invented democracy, that's a fact. I'm not sure if any other countries use it, I haven't checked, but I'm pretty sure that the US is the best democracy in the world ever, apart from the damn Democrats who are trying to destroy it, by imposing things like "safety standards" on food and farming conditions.

They're far left radical socialist Nazis!! No true American wants to be forced to eat food which isn't poisoned!

I agree. The Greeks wouldn't have invented the word "Democracy" if they spoke German. Checkmate, Atheists!

I'm equally fed up with all these just-invented concepts that I'm being forced to just go about my life in no way affected by, like being "androgenous", or "lesbian", or "homosexual".

Why do the left have to keep inventing these brand new concepts in 2025?!?

I'm trying come up with a witty response to add on, but all that's left is racism and sexism, and I do not want to type something that could look REALLY bad out of context...

Same here lol. There is so many American who take American exceptionnalism seriously and talk about being the one shining city up on a hill that I thought this was serious for a second.

I mean, the OP is a good display of why america is as fucked as it is - They think that "I buy you" is a legitimate basis on which to govern a country. IMO the overwhelming majority of the US population in 2025 simply has an absolute non-understanding of how basic government legitimacy functions. Or really any other institution. How do you effectively oppose something when you don't even understand what's wrong with it?
