Ah, so now that you're here, drich I have to ask: since you seem to believe that "if you don't like the way America does things, then you should leave," I have to ask you, why do you actually believe this? The way I see it, there are five possibilities for why someone would believe such a thing and I want you to tell me which of these actually applies to you:
1. You believe that your system of government is so broken that (barring an actual revolution or another nation forcibly overthrowing the government) expecting to be able to change things in it is an impossibility on par with eating the sun. This is admittedly plausible at this point, but I doubt that you might want to admit that.
2. You simply do not believe in democracy. By the exact logic of this statement, even politicians should not change things. And what is a nation where politicians just rubber-stamp whatever law the ruling class wants but an autocracy/dictatorship?
3. You are a pure and simple bigot and this only holds if the people you're saying this to are not of a certain ethnicity. And no, Drich, no amount of protestations about your being half-Korean will automatically disqualify you from this possibility.
4. You are so addicted to gainsaying that anything liberals or the left say is bad or needs to be changed is good that you no longer care about holding a coherent ideology and are more concerned with one-upping your opponents than anything else.
5. You just plain didn't think what you were saying through. (This option also covers "Trump said so, so I believe it!")
Which of these do you believe? You can do multiple choice, but I'm not sure that there are other rationales for that opinion that aren't covered. If you're going to try for a sixth option, it must address why you hold this belief. Just saying the same things over and over will not cut it.
