1) Some people wonder: Why is America like this?! It is because a significant percentage of the population cling stubbornly to ridiculous perceptions of the world. So their judgment upon things is arbitrary and therefore stupid. They simply do not wish to learn anything.

And⬇️
2) Some GOP clodhopper in Arkansas cannot find Delaware on a map, but he thinks himself an expert on foreign policy. Which, by the way, is colored by his xenophobic biases about the world. He votes for a man like him. And then he whines because China will not buy his soybeans.⬇️
3) We have had imbeciles here who have actually held up signs that said: “Keep government out of my Medicare!” And why? Because they were protesting against what they called “government run health care.” Yes, and this is what you see throughout the red states. And⬇️
4) The rest of the world feeds and clothes these troglodytes and they hate the rest of the world for it, too. And why does the US rely on agricultural imports? So the Arkansas clodhopper I mentioned previously can export his soybeans overseas. But they persist in xenophobia. ⬇️
5) They think inciting violence is a very good idea in a nation awash in some 400 privately owned firearms that absolutely anyone can buy unless they’re a felon. Some of them would like to do away with that law, too, so felons can buy firearms. Can these people be called wise? ⬇️
6) It simply must be seen to be believed. Although, given the current state of affairs here, I cannot recommend visiting the United States simply out of anthropological and sociological curiosity. Just read what they say here on X and ask yourself: Why would I visit the US?! ⬇️
7) Consider this, if you will. Yes, there are people here who believe the world is flat. You cannot convince them otherwise. And now you can see why growing numbers of Americans think the polio vaccine is a bad thing but drinking raw milk full of harmful bacteria is great.⬇️ 
8) I daresay, at some point in the very near future, the UN will end up having to feed great portions of the red states when the federal government simply washes its hands of them, but only after those clods have elected another GOP president. This is cyclical for them.⬇️
9) Some may say, “How can you say that about your own countrymen?!” Because I know these people. I have watched these people clinging obstinately to their insanity and foolishness for decades, defiantly refusing to educate themselves in the slightest, or behave like adults. ⬇️
10) I have nothing more to offer America but my disappointment and now my contempt for having brought into being an authoritarian government as ignorant, hateful, and bigoted as the red states have always been since the aftermath of the Civil War. There’s no excuse for it.
