Sounds like most US politicians. Especially Republicans



It's pretty much all politicians. Not only American politicians.


“Yes we can”

Pretty sure that’s the royal “we”


There's a difference between wanting people in the country to work together for a shared goal, and literally referring to yourself with the pronoun "we".

That’s what just a whatsboutism


I feel my original statement stands pretty well.

>most US politicians

Plus as another commenter mentioned, a call to action for a group is a bit different than using the royal we to refer to a person or position. I'm sure there are numerous examples from both parties we could post here but that would get us nowhere

I'd prefer it if people could find common ground in the realization that both parties are trash
