"America first" lol. Selfish bastards ftw.
Don't want to ask you anything. I really don't get your guys obsession with your own country. Your country is basically a mix of many other countries. Basically everything you have is from other countries. There's nothing really special about your country, your inhabitants come from all over the world. It's big enough to be many different countries. You're constantly being fed with "America is the greatest country in the world" while you haven't explored or educated yourselves about any other part of the world. It's just fucking weird man. So smug without any reason to be smug.
You are completely missing the mark here.
America First is not a "Brag". Its not claiming other countries are bad and America is the best...I'm not pulling a Ricky Bobby here with the "if your not first your last" lol
Its more about enhancing production here in America. More self efficiency and growth domestically. Deregulating here in America so we can grow industry domestically, instead of outsourcing everything to places like China. Producing more energy domestically so we don't have to rely as much on places like Saudi Arabia. Its about being more self efficient. Over the last few decades America has outsourced a lot of our industries, which hurt the people here at home. Especially working class people because those industries provide good jobs. Big corporations like outsourcing because paying for labor outside of the US allows less taxes and cheaper labor, less regulations. They make more money. But its not good for the country as a whole.
A lot of our political elites here in the US have not put the interests of the American people over their donors, specials interests. (I guess this is why people say get money out of politics). A couple things that caught my attention.
I really don't get your guys obsession with your own country.
Its not an obsession, I live here and I want America to be strong a stable country. I want the people to have the opportunities to succeed.
Basically everything you have is from other countries
I agree, a lot of it is. Id like America to be more self efficient especially on critical resources like Medicine/Energy. Produce more of it ourselves domestically.
your inhabitants come from all over the world
Yeah I know and its pretty awesome. There is a lot of opportunity here and it attracts a lot of people.
It's big enough to be many different countries
It sure is and we under utilize it. We have ALOT of resources here. A lot of farm land, technology, minerals, fuel.
Currently I believe we buy more food over seas than produce ourselves, which I think we should be ramping up production domestically and not rely as much on other countries for Food. Same thing for Fuel and Medicine.
Id like America to produce more of its Fuel, Food, and Medicine domestically.
I know this wasn't a question but I just wanted to explain a little bit about America first. Its not a Brag... Its more of a "we have been shitting the bed and we need to be doing a better job".
