        They fought Nazis and imperial Japanese soldiers in Europe and the Pacific, now they’re defending Nazis and pedos and building camps.

          Yeah, although it took them a couple years to even do that. I keep wondering what their “Pearl Harbor” will be that finally gets them to take action.

            Pearl Harbor happened because America, and FDR, cared just enough about Japan’s invasion of China to embargo them. That’s simply not going to happen with Trump.

            A better source of historical comparison are rebellions and revolutions, in which case the cause is either people going hungry or Trump fucking with his own power base.

              Lot of empty fields out there with food that isn’t getting picked right now. This may be closer than we think.

      It’s been six months. How long did it take in Germany? We have at least until World War o’clock.

        American policies in the region are a big part of why Lebanon has issues. We at least don’t pretend to be other than we are. America has become a laughing stock. Good luck in gulag.

            I grew up in England thanks to a civil war, I’ve been to the US numerous times and have family who are American. I know very well your culture. And yes I will always blame European and American foreign policies for a lot of the world’s issues because that’s the truth, like it or not.

            America isn’t a friendly nation to a lot of the world .

                Fair is fair and you’re right. I am posting defeatist and judgemental comments, and it’s mainly out of extreme frustration. My cousins are freaking out and while I am closely following all the insane news about what’s going on internally, I can’t help feeling regular people aren’t doing enough to shut this down. Like there should be a general strike and cripple these billionaires!.

                I guess you look at Europe and how they regularly shut shit down.(France as usual and lately the student protests in various European cities).

                The issue with me is whatever government you lot have is going to have a major effect on the rest of the world, and this Trump government is a disgrace.

                Fight the good fight and good luck. I will target Maga anywhere I see them.

                    Good luck in that clusterfuck, and yes, secession may end up the only viable recourse, given a portion of the population wants to go back in time and raise the confederate flag under a techno state, and a portion of you want to be normal, equality loving humans.
