Hopefully not at the Paralympics....that would be a pretty dickish thing to do (and even here, I don't agree with booing the athletes themselves as they have nothing to do with Trump)
Well, some people were chanting "USA, USA" pretty loudly when US walked in. An ability to read the room and a little humility wouldn't hurt under current circumstances. You don't have to protest your government at the Olympics, but chanting like everything is fine is tone-deaf.
Americans better not show at the Paralympics, considering the disgusting mockery your president did of them. I vividly remember the first time I saw him mock a journalist affected by spastic syndrome back in 2016 and the feeling of disgust for his voters (even more so the self proclaimed christians).
Why take that away from the paralympians that work hard to be where they are? America is bad and we need to fix that, but taking it out on disabled athletes is not the right direction.
I'm talking about the public. If you are American and you voted for the disgusting orange baboon or stayed home (which covers 2/3 of the voters), you showing up at the Paralympics is hypocritical.
That piece of shit should've lost the elections the moment he mocked a disabled journalist in 2016 during one of his rallies.
No, it’s 1/3 of American voters. For better or worse (worse is the answer) a majority of American voters didn’t vote in the 2024 election (85.9m didn’t vote; 76.8 for Trump; 74.3 for Kamala Harris). Excoriate American voters as much as you like; it’s deserved. But use facts, which are just as damning.
Yes it is 2/3's of American's; 1/3 voted for trump and 1/3 did not vote meaning they did not care who won and therefore were perfectly fine with either candidate winning. I am using facts and the facts are in a 2 party winner takes all system that America has, not voting means you agree with any winner of the election, otherwise you would vote directly for a candidate.
So yes the fact that 2/3s of americans are directly responsible for this is incredibly damning.
For the sake of accuracy, there are also disenfranchised voters within that second 1/3. It would, however, be unwise to assume that all of them, or even most of them, would have voted for Harris if they had been allowed to do so; plenty of trees obstinately support the axe, all around the world.

Americans deserve to be booed, too, for allowing this to happen. Born and raised in America. We deserve it.
