In other words, "a shit hole nation".

@TheMiddleWay I agree that there is some good in the people. But we need to choose our elected officials more wisely. At present we are treating the world with a great deal of disrespect. We revoked our participation in the Paris agreement. We lock up refugees at our southern border and separate children from their parents. We have a lying fool in the White House, causing chaos in the country and in the world.

On the positive side, it is possible that we can elect more ethical and thoughtful people in the future. I hold on to that hope.

In the meantime, though, our country is acting like a pile of crap toward the world and toward ourselves.

@TheMiddleWay It wasn't so many years ago that plenty of people were pretending Sarah Palin was actually a competent candidate for Vice President (and, hence, President). And the only reason she was even picked was to appeal to voters who had (and have) only the loosest relationship with reality. Now those same people think Trump is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
