This community is for photography and interesting images. This isn’t the place for shitposts about trump overshadowing quality posts. There’s already 10 other communities people can go to for that.

!politicalhumor@lemmy.ml

!politicalmemes@lemmy.world

!lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

!memes@lemmy.ml

And more. Can we ban these low effort political posts and go back to having a decent community? Thanks.

    Unitedstatesians

    The word you want is “Americans”.

    I also would like political stuff kept out of non-political communities.

      I can’t speak to their usage, but mine was a reference to this song.

        Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/29g57XTYgLE?si=pILTmaEdWLVaIU-I

        Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

      if U.S. is America, than why is it U.S. of America?

      Canadians too are americans, like Mexicans are americans

      imagine if Germans thought that European meant German 🤷

        It doesn’t matter what makes sense to you. “American” is the correct term.

        Do you also say “Unitedkingdomers” since the “British Isles” includes the Republic of Ireland?

          no, you just say Irish, they’re lucky like that.

          when precision is needed, we also have English, Scottish, Welsh &c.

          Mexicans and Canadians too are Americans. So i will just call you Bob from now on.

          Hello Bob, how’s your day?

            American is the correct term. Nothing you say will change that.

        The U.S. are far from the only people that colloquially call us “Americans.” This is a non issue.

        And if you really want to be pedantic, all South Americans are Americans too.

            It comes across more as a resident of a USO show to me.

        Canadians and Mexicans are “North Americans”. Brazilians are “South Americans”. People who live in the US call themselves Americans. That’s just how language works, buddy. If it irritates your pedantic bone so much, the only solution is to build a time machine to go back a few centuries and change it.
