“A Normal Day In America”: Uncomfortably Funny Pics And Memes About Living In The United States
There's not a single country that doesn't have problems. But being the leader of the Western world, the United States of America is held to a high standard and its issues are often viewed through a magnifying glass, both internally and internationally. And the subreddit 'A Normal Day In America' is trying to bring some humor to these discussions.
Created in 2014, it now has 33.1k members, and according to the community's 'About' section, it focuses on things like toddlers in tiaras, guns in supermarkets, $100k hospital bills, obese babies, and other "everyday occurrences" in the US.

Kyle Howard Rittenhouse is an American man who shot three men, two fatally, during the civil unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in August 2020 when he was 17 years old. At his trial in November 2021, his defense lawyers argued he had acted in self-defense. Rittenhouse was found not guilty on all charges. ---What is it about due process you object to, exactly?

I don't think it was his "goal" to kill people, and Greta tree hugger seems to be saving banknotes rather than the planet.

He had no business being armed in the first place. And self-defense or not, the way the right romanticise him is disgusting.

I think that would be a much better title for this article. Most of the Americans I have met have been fighting for change and are absolutely appalled and sickened by the harmful alt-right politics and hyper-conservatism that seeks to hurt minority groups and roll-back people's rights.

As someone born and raised in the USA, this makes my heart hurt. We could be and do SO MUCH better if we'd just be willing to admit that: 1. Some of our systems are broken 2. Some of our systems were designed to elevate some and oppress others 3. Maybe a bunch of guys from 250 years ago who believed that it was ok to own people and would be mystified by a light switch MIGHT not have had all the answers for how things should be operating in 2023 4. Capitalism isn't the answer for everything 5. Any group's religious beliefs should NOT be the basis for laws and policies 6. Voters should be able to pick their elected officials. Elected officials should not be able to pick their voters. (End Gerrymandering) 7. Money isn't speech and corporations aren't people. 8. Loving your country means admitting its faults, working to correct them, and making it live up to its ideals; not just waving a flag or standing when a song is played.

How horrific. When Americans say how great their country is I just shake my head. They're so anti socialist and yet any of these things could happen to anyone in the blink of an eye. Thank god we have a health and social service to fall back on, it's far from perfect but I don't regret any of my taxes going to where it's needed. Im a pagan too, not even one of those shouty Christians who seem worse capitalists than anyone. The gift is to strike a balance, America is for the rich only.
Nikki Sevven 1 year ago
Excepting the health care ones, none of these apply to the US state where I live. I think a lot of non-Americans don't understand that MAGA idiots are the rank minority, only 18% of all Americans (and only 38% of registered Republicans). Yet this site (and a lot of pandas) think the entire country is like this. It's not. Please stop generalizing about it. If you were German, would you want to be constantly called a Nazi? You literally have neo-Nazis in Germany, but no one ever says that all Germans are Nazis. You can't consider yourself to be free from bigotry when you make an exception for one group to excuse your bigotry. All your countries have the same right wing idiots, so please stop mischaracterizing Americans.

It's because we are an invalid species. What other species saves fat then burns lean muscles mass first during starvation? In what universe should food that will kill us tastes GREAT and make us feel full and fed? Why the HELL does childbirth equal torture? Only one other species on Earth experiences this (a kind of hyena and they have 20% infant and maternal mortality rate). Why do we need such an exorbitant amount of water yet using it is hurting the environment. The late comedian Bill Hicks nailed it - we are a virus with shoes.

Someone please explain to me why the US has a government in the first place? Does anything ever get done to change this c**p? When something becomes a law especially around civil rights(roe vs wade) (voting, etc, ) another administration can just debunk it? Why do some of these lawmakers even get elected? capitalism? So a small group of ppl can stay richer? Talk about mafia ideology, my government isn't flawless at any means but s**t actually gets done and unless some law is actually hurting a major population, legislators don't try to change something that isn't necessarily broken, just because some don't agree with it. I'll take Canadian socialism any day, because I guarantee if you put me next to an American my exact age it would be very hard to tell the difference, we grew up with the same pop culture, era references, ideologies
