    America’s compulsive need to always be right is why you deserve Trump. He is the exact essence of your country.

      I deserve Trump? I voted against him and actively engage with my local government to stop this. Everyone who voted against this deserves Trump? You’re ready to just write off everyone in the country? Fuck em all?

      Fuck, you’re just as bad as him.

      you can’t even argue with facts so you attack me for being right?

      pathetic.

        Using absolute numbers when describing turnout rather than proportion is completely nonsensical. It’s clear you are not going to discuss in good faith.

          the original comment didn’t mention anything about proportion or per capita. you just assumed that’s what they meant because you can’t argue numbers after I presented the real numbers.

          comment figuratively tried to compare apples to apples, so I gave fair comparison with context.

          how do you like them apples

          I guess after the protests I’ll have to come back and show you even by per capita Scotland still failed to bolster the support we “weak Americans” gathered.

            I guess you prefer dunking on people online to doing anything about your fascist leaders and neighbours.

              just an update for you since it’s so important that you’re goal posts are moved. multiple sources claim hundreds of protestors showed up in Edinburgh. I’ll (generously) top it out at 1000 protestors nationwide.

              Scotland

              • population 5,500,000
              • trump golf protest 1000
              • per capita 0.00018

              in comparison to the US.

              • population 347,411,739
              • no kings 5,000,000
              • per capita 0.014

              but hey, it’s not a competition.
