Booing of the US national anthem should be encouraged worldwide.

The US is a rogue nation with a murderous dictator at the helm - there's nothing to celebrate.

Keep up the booing, people.  Keep it up.

Would be music to the ears of radical islamic extremists.

At the Australian Open this year, I'll be sitting for the US national anthem and booing it.

I'm so disgusted with Trump I'm not even going to go to the Australian Open, I encourage others to do the same, in fact if you go to the Australian open you are supporting Trump. Only MAGA go to the Australian Open.

Booing a National Anthem is just crass bad manners.

Yet you're okay with American citizens being shot in the face.

Nice priorities you have there, bud.

In the exceptionally unlikely event that I somehow happened to ever be in the same room as Trump, I would not shake his hand. Respect is earned and I have no respect for him and he's done nothing to earn my respect since he has no respect for the office he occupies and uses it only for his own means, not to serve the people of America.

The trump administration understand that the number of haters is in direct proportion to their effectiveness.


People and nations that risk nothing, achieve nothing , do nothing and celebrate niceness are always triggered by those who are in the arena, overcoming challenges

The problem is that you don't measure effectiveness by outcomes, results, or material improvements to people's lives. You measure it by how much it "triggers" anyone who doesn't worship them the way you do.

By almost every meaningful metric, except Trump's own personal wealth and that of other billionaires, things have gone backwards, in some cases catastrophically, since he became President a second time.

Living standards, institutional stability, international credibility, civil rights protections, all degraded. Some rapidly. Some deliberately.

But none of that seems to register with you.

The only scorecard you appear to care about is how upset liberals are while their rights are stripped away and their country is hollowed out in real time.

That isn't politics. It isn't governance. It's spite as an ideology.

And the truly grim part is that you're cheering for the collapse, not because it helps anyone, but because it hurts the people you've been told to hate.

It's only a matter of time before people in red states start asking why their lives are materially getting worse. When that questioning begins, the Trump regime won't respond with answers or reform, it will respond with force, deploying ICE and the National Guard into their own cities and states, going door to door and trampling constitutionally protected rights without hesitation, just like they are in blue states.

And then the MAGA idiots will finally "get it".

They'll ask why nobody did anything to stop this, conveniently forgetting that they didn't care when the same tactics were trialled in blue states. They cheered it on. They mocked the victims. They waved it through because it was happening to the "right people".

By the time it reaches them, it will be too late to undo.

The greatest tragedy in all of this is that you, and those like you, post your adoration for Trump and your hatred for anyone who disagrees from safely outside the United States. You will never have to live with the consequences of what you so feverishly advocate here.

You get the dopamine hit of cruelty without paying the price of collapse.

Other people will be the ones living under it.

Very well argued and written.

You might have the capacity to compose political speeches for party leaders - but it would be a waste of talent, given the current dysfunctional political environment.
