"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president" -Theodore Roosevelt
I have only been in the USA for a few short years, but Americans seem too quick to get up and give up their home at the turn of a dime. With how your government is set up your checks and balances make it impossible for President Trump to turn the entire country on its head in such a short time.
Under Putin I disagreed with him on many things, but Russia was still my home, politics didn't run me off.
Anyway, it's not the fact that Trump is president. If it was I would have been in Canada last year. It's just that, he's an immature man with a lot of power more than just money alone. He represents our country. Calling Muslims are race, can launch missiles, fire whomever, and then some. Patriotism is nice and all, but if Trump rubs some country the wrong way over some stupid tweeter app or reckless actions, I'm not sticking around for a pointless war.
Trump isn't someone you know personally, so calling him immature based solely on news reports is biased, especially considering how ridiculous the media coverage is regarding his administration. Obama should never have been elected period. He was elected because of liberal media guilt instilled over the voting populace based on history that the average voter in 2008 was absolutely NOT alive for when it occurred. If you were born in the 1970s or after, there is literally nothing to feel guilty about regarding the treatment of minorities. You've just been told to feel guilty.
Trump isn't an extreme right winger at all. I'm sure some people who voted for him are that, but the average Trump supporter is not that. I voted for him solely based on business experience and because unlike most politicians he actually is doing something about the immigration problem. Despite what the left would say the USA cannot keep accepting immigrants from all over the world. Eventually our society would suffer for it.
If you don't like Trump that's fine. But give reasons as to why that are based on facts. Not that he's going to be "America's downfall" or he's secretly a Russian spy or something else completely ridiculous.
What's so bad about communicating with Russia anyway? We aren't the devil that Americans try to make us seem like. Wouldn't America want to get along with all countries to begin with?
It's the American media establishment that makes Russia look bad. Once our cold civil war goes hot, the remnants of America will look to the world to save it.
It's okay, you're entitled to have an opinion as much as I am. However, when war breaks out over something stupid, you can keep supporting Trump to the very end.
Nice quote =] That's the reason I have not left my homeland. Me and my family moving somewhere else is not going to bring it closer to our own values; it's more likely to have the opposite effect.
Is this site more right or left politically?

Nice, learned a new quote today.
Anyway, it's not the fact that Trump is president. If it was I would have been in Canada last year. It's just that, he's an immature man with a lot of power more than just money alone. He represents our country. Calling Muslims are race, can launch missiles, fire whomever, and then some.
