Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

Whataboutism
Straw man argument, in the above post I describe American society, There is no blame of any individuals.
Shifting focus with a personal attack, but not addressing a single actual flaw in anything I wrote.
My guess is you are American, and you are butthurt about people being angry with your country, instead of just blaming Trump.
Well I got news for you, that should have registered a long long time ago. Trump is not the disease, he is a symptom of a sick society.
A sick society is like having cancer, not all cells in your body are cancerous, but if enough are, you die anyway.
The American society is in much the same way suffering from mental illness, so badly that they are doing harm to each other because of it, with sociopathic laws. And now with a mad administration they are lashing out to every country they have relations to.
Except for some reasons the countries that are enemies of democracy like Russia and North Korea. And Israel a country that is committing genocide and war crimes on a daily basis.
I may be an idiot, but that doesn't change that USA is behaving like a psychopath as a country, and is causing harm to themselves and around the world.
People should be angry with the country. The government has been overrun by barbarian billionaires and they're harming billions of others.
None of that gives you the right to blame the 300 million people trapped here, the vast majority of whom do not approve of Trump and his bullshit.
And if you were here to do anything other than wave your rage boner around a room of people uninterested in seeing it, you'd understand.
