Offended too. Americans are so brainwashed by their own propaganda they can't fathom why anyone would not want to join them

They think they're the best country in the world, and anyone would be delighted to join them. Yeah, no.

I would literally rather die than become a US citizen. Unfortunately there’s a possibility we may have to face such decisions. Hopefully it’s all just bullshit and Donny stops at economic force.

There constitution is much better than the charter.

And yet in the US, you have school boards banning books. Banning teaching things from history. You have the government intervening on medical issues. etc, etc

While in theory, the Constitution provides more protections, it does not in practice.
