Youtubers bit small sample. In this poll Germany and US were both similar for how many agreed that their nation is superior to all other nations 49% and 47% agreed, UK well behind with 32% agreeing, ten years old but I'd bet it is lower now. Over 1k polled in each nationQuote:

Probably the same half of Americans who (still) think the US is superior to all other countries just voted on the basis that their country has been completely ruined by radical leftist Joe Biden.Quote:

As has been said before it's no coincidence that for the first time ever, every democracatic nation in the world that had an election this year the incumbent heavily lost votes
History is good for learning from the past but shouldn’t be for judging people in the present.

I didn't say that they voted Trump because they as a nation feel superior, that's you're false interpretation of what I said and one of the reasons I normally stop discussing any particular subject with you, that and the fact you make up facts that are simply untrue, not every incumbent lost in democratic elections in 2024, that's simply not true.Quote:

"Every governing party facing election in a developed country this year lost vote share, the first time this has ever happened"
You said due to the US past it's brainwashing kids ect it's no wonder they voted Trump, doesn't really explain why they voted Biden over him or they voted Obama to huge wins. I think it's shoehorning in a reason the nation voted Trump but it falls apart when they didn't. The past has been a constant for America who they voted for has fluctuated
Thought Doug Stanhope was funny when saying similarQuote:

Exclusive: Woman told House Ethics panel she witnessed Gaetz having sex with minor, lawyer says - ABC News
An attorney representing two women who were witnesses in the House Ethics Committee's investigation into now-former Rep. Matt Gaetz is calling for the release of the committee's report, telling ABC News that one of his clients testified that she witnessed the Florida congressman having sex with a minor.
"My client testified to the House Ethics Committee that she witnessed Matt Gaetz having sex with a minor," Florida attorney Joel Leppard told ABC News.
Speaker Mike Johnson says he will 'strongly request' that Ethics Committee withhold its Matt Gaetz report
WASHINGTON — House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said Friday that he would "strongly request" that the House Ethics Committee not release a report detailing its investigation into former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla.
The Ethics panel had been investigating Gaetz — who resigned this week after President-elect Donald Trump chose him to serve as attorney general — off and on since 2021. He has denied any wrongdoing.

It made me wince a bit, knowing that whilst he may eventually contribute towards bringing an end to certain wars, it’s unlikely to lead to an outcome those people would be happy with.
There’s no doubting the comprehensive nature of Trump’s victory but you can’t help but feel there’s going to need to be an awful lot of manipulation and delusion if he’s to avoid letting an awful lot of people down.
There was a good documentary last year on the BBC talking about the links between evangelical groups and Israeli groups. Trump was heavily involved in both. Both groups openly want a one state solution and use the bible to justify it.
Baffling that people thought he would anger his closest allies and want Israeli restraint
Less than 2% of a difference in the popular vote, so about twice as close as the Brexit referendum. Only appears comprehensive because of the bizarre electoral system. Trump didn't so much 'sweep to victory' as 'squeak to victory'. Let's hope that the half of the country he's already letting down gets another chance to rid themselves of him in four years.Quote:

All parties across the world use short and sharp messages, doesn't make you thick if you read it and understand it. The average reading age in Scotland for adults is that of a 9-11 year old so keeping things simple is unfortunately the way that works. Whether you are trying to get across a political point, inform people about something or sell something.Quote:

Short and simple messages work so you would be foolish not to use them.
I had to google this as it really surprised me.Quote:

Effectively put there to be the last education secretary and wind up the Education Department in an effort to end "wokeness" in schools :rolleyes:Quote:
