1. Imagine taking a fucking stance against… hope. God things are so fucked over here right now

2. Because we in the U.S. are without hope?

3. Ok this one is actually hilarious. US is going to be pro-cancer and baby seal clubbing by next week.

4. Hey so is there some way I can become an honorary European? Because my country is becoming a nightmare

5. What happens when the bulk of the Americans public realizes they are the bad guys in the movie?

6. This is like cartoon villain levels of evil. Pointless acts to prove the US is meaner than anyone.

   I want something better. Anything.

7. US is becoming the stereotipitcal anime antagonist at this rate lmao.

8. To be honest, considering the quality of trump and the government ATM, they probably didn’t understand the question. I mean unless it was written at a 1st grade reading level, it’s unlikely trump would understand himself.

9. Yeap, can you believe Americans starting to hope about having universal healthcare, raise of the minimum wage and stuff like that? That could cause entropy, i wouldn’t like to live in a world that the laws of physics no longer exist. /s

10. Trump and Elon are genuinely pathologically, psychotically evil. They will see hard working government charity institutions that provide aid to millions of impoverished and work hard to destroy them.

    The UN will say “vote to declare international rainbows, sunshine and happiness day!” And they will vote against it 💀☠️🏴‍☠️

11. While, if there was ever a vote for the international day of trading everything even our values…

12. Good lord, how is this even a thing? The US was supposed to be ALL about hope.

    We really have suddenly woken up in an alternative universe.

13. India abstaining again. Classic. Don’t even know why they bother to show up when they don’t have an opinion on anything besides Pakistan.

14. hope = woke

    -USA, probably

15. There you have it folks it’s official. There is no hope for the US

16. Even North Korea (DPRK) voted for it!

    What timeline is this? Couldn’t the us just have abstained?…

17. Okey, this is beyond stupid at this point lol

18. Bruh this sounds like a fucking Onion headline 

19. Nay! I say Nay! There shall be no HOPE! Mwa hahahahahah! NAY!

20. Have they completely gone over to the Dark Side?

21. Is that, like…

    …relevant to something? Or is that just a feel-good thing to make it seem like they’re actually still a respected organization that cares about the world?

22. Ok what the actual frick

23. Hahahaha Americans are the new trolls of the world. Don’t feed them. Ignore them and build other healthy relationships.

24. I get the US is being an idiot right now

    But wtf is international day of hope?

25. Clearly this is a way to ‘own the libs’.

26. I mean, the proposal is kind of silly/symbolic, but its hilarious to vote *against*. Like, at least abstain.

    This seems like standard mean-spirited maga vice signaling more than anything.

27. Imagine voting against israel lol

28. Jesus Christ we are fucking evil bastards aren’t we? Cue “Are we the baddies?” scene

29. Because domestic US politics are currently against various holidays deemed to be ‘racist’ or ‘divisive’ because they acknowledge the plight of some marginalized figure or group. So the US recognizing an international day of hope would be contrary to that.

30. I know I am against what my government does but this is really funny lmao. Like cartoon villain shit lol

31. The US is hopeless

32. “It is the only thing stronger than fear. A little hope is effective. A lot of hope is dangerous.”

    Who said it?

    – a) President Snow in Hunger Games
    – b) President Donald Trump in real life

33. What is ISDB?

34. Is this the first time this US administration voted against Russia ?

35. Russia voted Yes!

    Someone didn’t get the memo in the US States of Alt Right.

36. Well, how is the joke going… Today we have no (Steve) JOBS, no (Johnny) CASH and no (Bob) HOPE anymore.

37. This is pretty memable

38. A U.S. representative to the UN said the measure “contains references to diversity, equity and inclusion that conflict with U.S. policies that seek to eliminate all forms of discrimination and create equal opportunities for all.”

39. International virtue signaling day

40. What’s the point of a “Day of Hope” in the first place though? Really, why do they have all countries vote for something like this?

41. So MAGAs have against hope….WTF

42. No hope under the dope

43. how would an international day of hope help anyone or do anything. the un is useless

44. I am so incredibly ashamed of my country.

45. “The Day of Hope resolution also recognized “the need for a more inclusive, equitable and balanced approach to economic growth that promotes sustainable development, poverty eradication, happiness and hope for all peoples.”

    A U.S. representative to the UN said the measure “contains references to diversity, equity and inclusion that conflict with U.S. policies that seek to eliminate all forms of discrimination and create equal opportunities for all.”

46. The onion is soon going out of business if these are the headlines

47. To be fair, there is not much hope for America, let alone a whole day of it!

48. Hope was Obama’s thing. Trump is president now and signed an Executive Order canceling hope because he hates Obama.
