How does the rest of the civilized world look at America this Christmas Eve?

[kentuck]

Do they see a beacon of democracy?

Or do they see a corrupt regime, with corruption or incompetence from every corner of the government?

Do they see a balance of powers between the different branches?

Or do they see a regime with very little justice, no oversight of the criminal class, and power-hungry politicians that do nothing for the country or its people?

Do they look at America differently than ever before?

Do they respect America?

Does Mitch McConnell and Republicans care what they think?

1. No. Yes. No. Yes. Yes. No. Hell, no.

Excellent questions, kentuck. Food for thought as we celebrate Christmas and look forward to the new year.

2. they see America is getting what America deserves and I can;t blame them for thinking it

[hatrack]

4. Why would they look at us?

Not much left to see, as we've shown that we're just as capable of casual sadism, malignant ignorance and tribal bullshit as any other country.

At best, we'll get the watchful look used by parents when their kid returns from rehab for the first time.

5. I think they avert their eyes.

[Maxheader]

6. More like a flashlight...

that just changed the batteries...

Depends on the news they get..

They see attempts and people quoting a constitution

They see the wingers for what they are

Don't we all?

More so after 11 3...

Only if it hits them in the pockets....

7. Probably they think there are better places to live than a split country half of which

is filled with hostilities and hatred.

[ananda]

8. With pity for what we could have been and once were...

And contempt for putting up with a homicidal nazi
for four years!

[AngryOldDem]

9. With shock, dismay, worry, and pity.

[William769]

10. I hope that they are looking at us with optimism

With President-elect Joe Biden about to take the reins from a mad man.
