What an embarrassing time to be an American

Even after all the movies and novels warning us. We are truly, as a species, very, very dumb. And apparently illiterate.

we havent learnt a single thing 😔

Almost right. Better: what an embarrassing place to be alive.

As the ancient Chinese proverb says…

What do you enjoy doing? www.ted.com/talks/ayana_... Look for a local group. If there isn't a group doing what you see a need for, ask a few friends.

*entire existence

Humiliating! Oh well, at least we don't have the bubonic plague.

This is what I'm saying

Future 12 year-olds in history class are going to have a great time making fun of us in advance ways we simply can't fathom

There have been many

Oh god, what the fuck did america do now

I keep telling people this probably isn't the worst timeline but it's definitely the dumbest/most embarrassing. We're naming a literal federal agency after a meme from 2013

An embarrassing time to be an American

And shambolic

Our history books won’t reveal the truth anyway ( sad to say)

I thought this was about the people demanding to be followed back

Seriously

Yes, difficult to explain to history how we were here when all this happened and yet, could not affect change.

It is a great point. How many people remember the Social Democrats and the Zentrum political parties that opposed Hitler? The entire country was lumped into "those terrible nazis"

Especially after spending the 70s and 80s sanctimoniously shaking my head and wagging my finger at the 1933-1945 German populous for their weak and cowardly ways for allowing Hitler, the Nazis, and death camps to take hold. Criticism retracted.

I'm sorry, in advance, to the Bahamas.

That is comical

Not my fault I survived all this idiocy.

I now understand the old Chinese curse, May you live in interesting times.

I'm 77. America is so crappy now. It used to be nice, civil and hopeful. Now it just sucks.

Dumb outnumber the smart.

Smart American is a hell of an oxymoron since the vast majority of the population can't read above a 6th grade level

I mean, that is a given. I was wondering if the post was referencing the Attack of the Drones?

... Embarrassing it is. But very revealing as in the days when white men were galloping around in white hoods in plain sight ...

I imagine this is what it was like for the elders of Rome to watch its downfall.

100%

I forget where I heard it (maybe someone can help) but I remember hearing a woman say how our country is so young it's like a prepubescent child whereas others are adults. Feels about right.

Honestly

Honestly? nah. Good shit is happening all over the place at unprecedented rates as well as the bad shit. There are SO MANY PEOPLE that you have to look all over to see the beauty. If your device and its social media is bumming you out, you need to look in different places for fulfilment.

I’m glad to witness the demise of a country that unfortunately would rather burn it down than give equal rights to others.

We could but we'd have to employ horrific eugenics programs to achieve such a goal. Global cooperation required humans that are sufficiently evolved. Most of us aren't sufficiently evolved. Im only hoping that in like 10k years after nuclear world war 7 we will have evolved into intelligent species

I’m a white woman. ☹️

It's not a contest folks

Have you thought of the Spanish Inquisition?

I ve no extra ball. Embrace. Searching the do the right thing

ughhhhh i hate it. if the drones are aliens, i hope they pick me up for a joyride lol

Unfortunately, embarrassment is likely to be only the beginning.

Or at least to be a U.S. citizen. Sigh.

"May you live in interesting times."

Through all this Please don't forget to count your blessings

But here we are🤷🏻‍♂️

True story

It's not Christmas until you hear a children's choir sing.

At least I'm not any who are making it worse

Extremely embarrassing time to be a citizen of the USA as well.

When they look at history and name this age - like the enlightenment, the renaissance etc I reckon it’s going to be called The Dumbfuckening.

Now

I think the best part is still to come.

Not currently as as Australian. But stay tuned. I fear our time to be embarrassed is not far off.

They lost from the get-go, they are just in denial about it. It's like if you played chess with a pigeon, of course the pigeon would lose but it would strut around & sh*t all over the board as though it won. Pigeons do what pigeons do.

The Chinese have a better word choice that they invented probably 5,000 years ago. However, The Embarrassing Times would be a better name for a news outlet than The Interesting Times.😊

So far!

America has a system that gives idiots greater representation in government than their actual numbers in the population. To a lesser extent, we have a different system with similar results in Canada.

Laugh about it. It's what I do.

I'm not sure any time has been not embarrassing. 😭

Um I’m certain previous generations would like a word

Certainly an embarrassing time to be American.

No, we need to make history now!

Only in the US OF BILLIONAIRES

Sadly yes

I think the only non embarrassing time is when the only life on earth was green slime.

…in the United States 🤡

Every Generation gets their Test,look back a few,it wasn't easy for them either.

Isn't it though?

I risked my life to defend the system being used against us right now. Imagine how I feel? My Country sold me and my friends out to rich dudes that couldn't be bothered. I watched these jerks fail the Kurds. I did not know the US Veteran was next. Way to go, U.S.A.!

is this a general or specific post? I'm unsure of it all anymore

It's certainly an embarrassing time to be an American. Look at all we're throwing away, and the less-than-nothing we're getting for it. Great job, Republican voters.

My greatest regret is having been born

We're the dumbest humans to have ever lived.. We HAD all the correct information and chose NOT to use or believe it..

As climate crisis continues to increase the number of refugees and destroys more, our nation has elected by the smallest of margins ever, one of the stupidest pathological rapists is to drill more.

No I don't think I do, it's all of them

😆

don't give up on yourself - you can turn it around.

I know, right???? We should be celebrating advancement, hope, achievements, and breaking glass ceilings - and now opposite. Total, despicable, unimaginable opposite.

Applesauce for brains and Cunnilingus Harris will be out of office soon and the national embarrassment will be over.

As a U.S. citizen. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Don't worry, it's gonna get better! 🐼

It's actually quite refreshing to think about it that way, gotta say. It's less sad.

God, yes.

It's like every generation failing the open book history test. Just look at the book and move forward instead of repeating.

Your family doesn't miss you

I feel embarrassed for everyone all the time.

Im counting down the days that I have left to get a good night sleep

British person here. Not really.

lol i straight up just said this aloud before seeing this post
