who said anything about being free of conflict and strife?. I just pointed out how stupid what you said was..the only reason the world leaders think that America is a laughable joke, is because of weak leadership and the tenants of Liberalism.. that wacky shit you do in America, and here in the UK will NEVER take off in most countries. For you to say that the US is being laughed at, because of republicans, when you have:
Students literally crying, and receiving psychological care because someone wrote "Trump 2016"
Having a Man being named as the "woman of the year"
Having Students of America burn and stomp on the flag
Having your leader go on an apology tour while radical Islam sets its sights on you
Having serious discussions about if a "little boy is really a boy"
Having your leader refuse to say the words "radical islam"
Is fucking insane
And the list could go on and on...but yeah, the world definitely thinks the US is "a joke" because it STILL isn't gay enough...my god, you need your head examined man..quit acting like the rest of the world is gay and you have some catching up to do. The leaders that apparently are laughing at the US, according to you, are laughing because of how absurd America has become, not because it isn't absurd enough...look around the planet, seriously
