      When they aren’t imperialist bootlickers.

      ps: In Portuguese, United States is Estados Unidos - hence estadounidense.

          But have you ever seen someone who is not far left using the term estadounidense/estadunidense?

          It’s like when you ask if someone smokes and the person says “smoke what?” you already know he’s a pothead xD
