elijah schaffer
Did you want to share?
Do you have a good opinion?
What?
America is trash and I look forward to the day it burns to the ground.
Okay, is there any other things that you want to say other than that?
No.
Okay.
All right.
That was a good.
That was good.
Welcome to Slightly Offensive.
My name's Elijah and you're here at USC, the University of Southern California, where I guess we're talking about whether or not people love or hate the United States of America.

Is America a good country or not?
unidentified
It can be.
It can be great.
Right now, it's eh.
elijah schaffer
You have a bad opinion of America.
Why?
unidentified
Because motherfuckers over here is full of shit.
elijah schaffer
Who are the MFs?
unidentified
Donald Trump and his people.
You feel me?
Donald Trump and his people.
They full of s ⁇ .
elijah schaffer
What do you think makes this country great?
unidentified
Trump.
elijah schaffer
Donald Trump?
Why would you say that?
unidentified
Because he's amazing and we need him and we've needed him for a while.
elijah schaffer
You think it's an unpopular opinion on this campus?
unidentified
Yeah.
elijah schaffer
Do you ever feel discriminated about for that?
unidentified
I do.
elijah schaffer
How so?
unidentified
People get mad if I speak out, but liberal people can speak out and they are fine.
It's interesting.
elijah schaffer
So what do you think currently defines being an American?
unidentified
Not freedom.
elijah schaffer
What do you think other than freedom?
unidentified
Um, yeehaw, all those red states, Republican, conservative.
We're trying to outvote them, but it's not really happening until they die off, kind of.
Until they die off, kind of.
Until they die off, kind of.
elijah schaffer
A lady we just spoke to said that the biggest problem in America are conservatives.
Do you agree or disagree with that statement?
Entirely disagree.
unidentified
Why?
The biggest problem we have is that people dehumanize each other.
The mere fact that she said that is a major issue.
It's not that there's conservatives that are the issue.
It's whatever she perceives conservatives to be.
I have a positive opinion.
elijah schaffer
Why?
unidentified
Because I traveled around the world and it's pretty shitty some places, so I like the U.S. What is the most negative part about America and why?
Feminists.
elijah schaffer
Well, because obviously we can't get rid of all the conservatives, right?
Because it's like can't just get rid of half the country.
What do you do?
What do you do as a compromise or how could we actually make America great with the conservatives still in our country?
unidentified
Having a good president.
elijah schaffer
And who is that?
unidentified
Who?
Well, Michelle would be great.
elijah schaffer
Why?
unidentified
Because they just are hypocritical.
Like they want to give rights to the migrant caravan, yet they don't want to give rights to like the conservatives in America and they won't let them speak out.
It just doesn't really make any sense.
elijah schaffer
You know what's funny?
Right before I talked to you, I just talked to a lady who was basically saying that the only way that we could have progress in this country is to get rid of the conservatives.
unidentified
Until they die off, kind of.
elijah schaffer
Well, also talking about that we need to fight for the LGBTQ community.
unidentified
Just gotta wait.
Also more activism, stuff like that, you know?
elijah schaffer
Like the resistance movements or?
unidentified
Just like everything, all social issues, LGBTQ things.
elijah schaffer
So it was about like fighting for some people, but not like fighting for the minorities, but not the majorities.
unidentified
They're fighting for like illegal immigrants, but they're not gonna fight for conservatives of this country.
They think that they need to leave.
Like it makes no sense.
elijah schaffer
It's like they care more about foreign nationals than they do about their own countrymen.
unidentified
I agree.
elijah schaffer
It's pretty unpatriotic.
unidentified
Yep.
I don't know about that.
elijah schaffer
Who is Trump to you?
unidentified
Well, he's not my president.
He's just, he's a figure that needs to be, in a sense, controlled.
elijah schaffer
Are you not a U.S. citizen?
unidentified
No, I am a U.S. citizen.
elijah schaffer
Okay, sorry.
What can you do?
unidentified
First off, this is cool.
It folds up.
elijah schaffer
It folds up, which I mean, that's state of the art.
unidentified
I can go into any class.
You know, I got 16 miles.
elijah schaffer
And it's got the 16 miles per hour.
Oh, shoot.
This is pretty intense.
This has been my favorite part of the day already.
