It’s stupid, but I get defensive when ppl from other countries are like ‘omg we fixed our gun problems years ago! what is wrong you??’
Like, we are trying. But there’s this giant group of assholes in the way. You can see them now more than ever, but they’ve always been there. It fucking sucks. We know it sucks. This country is fucking broken in about 50,000 different ways. I get not wanting to come here. I don’t exactly want to live here either! I get being unable to comprehend the bullshit that goes on here. But you don’t have to be so goddam patronizing about it like fuck. We know, okay? We know.
