    It’s so frustrating seeing americans be so naive.

    They have their little late night shows where they laugh about the way Trump talks. They joke about the regime, talk about candidates for 2028. People wouldnt vote for Harris because they did not like everything about her, as if they now have a chance to ever get a better candidate again.

    They seem to be completely blind. Looking into it from a country where we learn in school how fascism arises it is unbelievable what attitude they have towards this obvious thing.

    ICE is Trumps Gestapo, his secret police, and now got all the money in the world to become his full fledged private army, his own SS and americans joke about his pattern of speech. Like yeah, cause no one with a funny way of speaking ever became a fascist dictator before.

      America is a clown population, sitting at home laughing at sound bites, mocking each other like an “own” or a “like” actually mean or solve anything. The protesters hit 3.5% and they celebrated like it was problem solved.

      I had a man I thought was a friend tell me before the election he couldn’t bring himself to vote for a woman. I had people trying to tell me after that the “bright side” was he was going to go after immigrants like it was a consolation prize and he wasn’t “actually going to go after LGBT”

      I think we’re cooked tbh.

        I think the good guys will ultimately win and make the American Dream a reality. Unfortunately, we will all have to bleed and suffer to get there. We just have to be willing to accept the price that some of us won’t live enough to experience our best life. I am bracing myself, for the possibility of dying or worse in service of my state against fascism.

        This conflict will make it clear whom among us are people are genuine friends and allies. The bitter edge is that many people we trusted will have their true colors revealed.

        May you find good people.

          The “American” Dream was always a bullshit idea. What could be accomplished in America that couldn’t be accomplished in many, many other parts of the world?

            The American Dream is a mirror held by two different types of people: those who wish themselves to be above others no matter the cost, and the others who desire to simply live a pleasant life in peace, without having to harm others in doing so.

            The nation is splitting apart, these two different mindsets will be forming their own countries I expect.
