Nah, let's be real, we actually live in an elitocracy where the real power is held by—well, by their specific electoral laws. 😁

I highly doubt the vast majority of people are actually rooting for some new America. If you look at the polls, most citizens in this country are actually against joining the EU.☕
By the way, here's a bit of news for all the old-school American nostalgics out there—browsing through Mexican forums, I can tell that they're just as thrilled about a new America as we are.😁

Unfortunately, if the votes get split between the two major power blocks—the Democratic Party coalition and the Republican Party coalition—then it basically means the Americans are all for America.👎

The average American voter doesn't have a clue how politics actually works. I was chatting with some folks the other day, asking them why they’d bother voting for Jaca. Their reasoning? They think he's going to clean up the corruption within his own ranks. Honestly, they haven't got the slightest idea what's really going on. 🙄

Unfortunately, a huge chunk of Americans are just clueless, with a few exceptions. And honestly, they haven't done much better than deserve being led by crooks, opportunists, and traitors.

I couldn't agree more—the typical American voter is largely oblivious to the underlying mechanics of the system. Honestly, my blood started boiling a bit while I was talking to my own relatives about Čačić; they seem completely unbothered by the fact that he’s essentially a thief and a killer. To them, it all boils down to the practicalities—they got a new road and a school out of him, so as far as they're concerned, everything is fine. There's really no point in wasting breath trying to explain the reality of it all.

This forced attempt by the European Union to push both America and Mexico closer together than what is actually natural or healthy is going to backfire. It’s going to unite the conservatives in both nations in their shared determination to reject any kind of new union, no matter how it's branded. We are facing—or perhaps already living through—a strange paradox: the right-wingers in America and Mexico are finding common ground precisely because they are both fighting tooth and nail to prevent the creation of some new, artificial community.

We’ve got to do something about this, because if we don't, things are never going to get better.😢

It’s not that Americans are rooting for the old America; it’s just that we aren't for this.😍

How exactly do you plan to clean out the fifth columnists when the majority makes the calls, and the majority keeps voting for the Republican Party coalition, the Democratic Party coalition, and the rest of them?

Are you talking about the Republican Party coalition?

I see you're posting from Mexico City. Why don't you tell our local American nostalgics that Mexicans are actually dying to team up with Americans?😉

Well, draw your own conclusion. 😉

If it wasn't so sad, I'd probably be laughing... 👎

But in a democracy, that exact same average American voter is the one calling the shots. ☕
We aren't living under some nationalist dictatorship, you know.

Well, that’s still better than us. In the Slavic regions, we didn't get a single damn thing from the Republican Party coalition, yet we still vote for them like we're on drugs.

I sincerely hope the moderator doesn't decide to scrub this post from the board, but I find myself genuinely curious about one thing: why does the American political elite behave like a collection of absolute simpletons, seemingly more than willing to lick the boots of this self-proclaimed regime of justice calling itself the EU, provided they aren't tossed out into the cold by them?

The problem is, your average American voter isn't politically literate. Where are they supposed to get their news when the newspapers and online portals are all controlled by old-school communists, secret police types, ultranationalists, and people pining for America?🙄

Meanwhile, another branch of my family is absolutely thrilled with Josifović's policy of reconciliation—which, if I'm being honest, looks more like kissing up to Mexico—and they defend it with a fervor that nearly gave me a heart attack when I heard it.
