Mark Lopez8 said:Out of all those politicians who have been loitering around the American political scene for decades, this one newcomer is the only one who actually hit the nail on the head. Joining the European Union and NATO was a massive mistake; the US lost its sovereignty because of those associations. Second, the Republican Party and the Democratic Party are essentially two sides of the same coin—they're the ones who ruined this country. Third, and most importantly, corruption and crime are baked into every single government institution. I'm talking about the Department of Justice, the courts, and everything under them. It’s no wonder this whole place feels like a total circus destined for poverty and struggle when there isn't even anyone left to prosecute the criminals.👎
I totally disagree that joining the European Union and NATO was a mistake. Look, right now, the EU is the main club that everyone in Europe—and even some folks outside of it—is trying to get into. Even though it has plenty of flaws (trust me, it does), there’s just no real alternative out there. It’s not the EU's fault that we don't know how to properly use grant money without grabbing a slice for ourselves, and it's definitely not their fault that we have a culture of corruption.
As for NATO, it's a defense alliance. I honestly don't get why anyone would find membership in that group problematic. It’s not like our soldiers are out there dying in every corner of the globe. Most of the time, we're just providing support or handling training missions, while leaving the heavy military lifting to the USA and the rest of the big players. So, I really don't see how joining that alliance was a "mistake."
Now, regarding the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, and their constant looting—let's do some quick math. Add up all the members of the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. Then throw in all their little satellite parties and sidekick groups... then add up all their family members, everyone who got rich through connections to these politicians, and every corrupt official in the civil service... what do you end up with?
You realize that a huge chunk of the population is somehow tied to the corruption. It’s like, more or less, everyone is cheating the system in one way or another. Some people dodge taxes, others live in houses that aren't even legal, and then there's this person and that person... Look, we need to use our heads. If we want to change things, we have to start by changing our own lifestyles and habits first. Through referendums and actual civic pressure, we can slowly fix the system. We shouldn't be bowing down to nonsense or waiting around for some Messiah to swoop in and pull us out of hell and into paradise. Honestly, our people need a serious wake-up call to stop whining about their fate and pointing fingers at everyone else being a thief. We need to take an honest look in the mirror and admit that, as a nation, we are politically illiterate and completely checked out.
