I'm American, and I don't even want the best for Americans.
Let's not forget that the Dems weren't even committing a genocide the first time Americans elected Trump. The policies you're seeing now are apparently what the American people have wanted for a long time.

”In place of the system that has created relative stability for almost a century, Republicans under President Donald Trump and his sidekick billionaire Elon Musk are imposing a government that is based in the idea that a government that works to make people safe, prosperous, and healthy is simply ripping off wealthy people.”

Today, Gingrich’s campaign offers the #Democrats a playbook. If they want to undermine Trump’s support, this model suggests that they should pursue a relentless, strategic, and thematic campaign branding Trump as America’s most corrupt president. Almost every development could provide fodder for such attacks, which would connect #corruption not with generalities like the rule of law but with kitchen-table issues. Higher prices? Crony capitalism! Cuts to popular programs? Payoffs for #Trump’s fat-cat clients! Tax cuts? A greedy raid on Social Security!(
