So I believe that many Americans would agree that blaming one’s failures on others isn’t American.

I believe a propensity to blame others for one's own failures or not is not a national characteristic but a personal characteristic. How do Belgians feel about a person blaming others for his own failures?

A great American tragedy!

After hundreds of years of being the beacon of the free world, America has finally succumbed to communism. Expect purges to begin soon. The Bartender-in-Chief is already compiling lists of Trump supporters who will soon be stripped of their livelihood. Guns will be confiscated, police decimated, we left defenseless against our communist overlords. I weep today for the real America.

Okay, Slobo finally jumped the shark.  :o

Oh thats really funny!  You don't watch much US tv do you? Or you watch the wrong channels.

I watch Mash, Gilligan's Island and Green Acres everyday if possible. I miss WKRP in Cincinnati terribly since it was taken off my channel package. These all come in on American channels.

Now...are you glued to that truthful FOX news daily...hourly...getting the real scoop on things.

Yea, now it your turn to fail.  I can't wait to watch.

Jumped the shark indeed. 

Unlike Lamson, who apparently can't wait to witness failure in his own country.

How much US TV do you watch every day?

If he doesn't watch US TV, he isn't missing much.

I happen to think that countries (and companies also btw) are not all identical. They feature a thing called culture. This culture is shaped over centuries by various aspects including the natural environment, religion, past leaders (political, artistic, sports,...),...

There are certainly important personal differences also and one is only influenced by his cultural environment.

So to answer your question I do believe that there is, unfortunately, in Belgium an overall tendency to be jalous of the success of others and to blame lack of luck for one’s failures. Not everyone falls for it obviously.

And I believe, from thousands of touch points, that taking responsibility is part of the American cultural tool kit. Again especially among people describing themselves as Republicans, which as we know clearly has nothing to do with Trumpism.

Cheers,
Bernard

No I can't wait to witness the failure of the Harris presidency's agenda. I hope America survives if god forbid she is suscessful.

Minneapolis Star Tribune - November 7, 2020

'Boogaloo Bois' face new charges for possessing machine guns, silencers

https://www.startribune.com/boogaloo-bois-face-new-charges-for-possessing-machine-guns-silencers

"In a related indictment, another Boogaloo member, 26-year-old Ivan Harrison Hunter, is accused of firing an AK-47-style rifle 13 times into the burning Minneapolis Third Precinct headquarters while people were inside the building. Hunter is the self-professed leader of the South Texas Boogaloos Bois and traveled to Minneapolis to take part in the riots. Hunter was in contact with another member of the group that night who is charged with killing two law enforcement officers in California, according to federal court documents.

The week of the riots, prosecutors say, Solomon roamed residential neighborhoods in Minneapolis openly carrying a firearm. He and Teeter told a witness in the case they possessed more guns and substantial quantities of ammunition, according to court documents. They and other Boogaloo members “discussed committing acts of violence against police officers and other targets in furtherance of the Boojahideen’s stated goal of overthrowing the government and replacing its police forces,” the witness told the FBI."

* Just one example of an opportunist wanting to either cause or participate in mayhem. Whether it's an ideological extremest, pyromaniac, or random mentally disturbed individual makes little difference to those anxious to assign blame in furtherance of their own narrative.

I didn't like how she attacked Biden in the first Democratic debate. It was very mean and totally unnecessary. And she can't even act convincingly.

Well, I have no idea what your thousands of touchpoints are, so I have no idea of whether your assessment of the character of Americans and Republicans is well founded, but you are certainly entitled to your opinions.

There's more intelligence in the programming I watch than there is watching Chetos do his temper tantrums.

So you get all your info from the internet culture...that must be all true.

How would you define it?

What does it mean for you to be an American and a Republican?

What are the values you consider essential?

I am kind of wondering if he has got his daughter on the next flight out to Serbia.

She is coming in December, for a visit. It is too early to pull her out for good. It took Venezuela 10 years to get where it is now, under socialism. My daughter is graduating college next year. If she can't find a job because of her father's social media posts, which is part of Biden agenda, bringing her here might be a possibility, unless America becomes great again under Cruz or Cranshaw presidency.

Communism? Joe Biden? Really? With a probable Republican majority in the Senate?...

Senate majority is not given, yet. There are two run-offs in January. If both turn to Democrats, they'll have the majority.

As for Biden, the senile fool is totally irrelevant for the communist agenda of the radical left that will actually lead "his" administration. Harris administration, really.
