Donald Trump told a Florida crowd that it is “treasonous” to say the US is not winning the war in Iran. The US president was speaking at The Villages in Florida, the world’s largest retirement community, when he made the remarks. Trump came to tout supposedly fulfilling his 2024 campaign promise to remove taxes on Social Security. It came after the president told Congress that the war in Iran had already ended, despite his earlier issuing a fresh threat to Tehran.
As an American, I totally agree. I am at a loss as to how we got to where we are so quickly, how it can be fixed, or what I should do as an individual. Feels like a slow motion train wreck that was easily predicted and warned about, yet nobody changed anything to avoid it.
The most frustrating thing is that writing my representatives in government, voting, and protesting all seem completely ineffectual.
As a fellow American? We should take more cues from the French.
It cannot be fixed. If you eventually come back and try to repair things, you’ll find we (Europe) have replaced your products (from tech and culture to friendship and security) with much better local alternatives.
Good, we deserve it. Whether we take responsibility and attribute the consequences to our actions or not is a big unknown. Hopefully we can fix ourselves internally at some point so we can at least try reconcile with the world.
Like, dont get me wrong, we want to like you guys again, you just need to get the exterminator in and exterminate the rat infestation you have going on.
Unfortunately beyond another assassination attempt, which isn’t the best option, its gonna take your politicians growing a fucking pair and removing him themselves, they have the system to do it and he sure as fuck meets the requirements.
You all also need to get the fuck out and vote them out next election, dont listen to the bots saying “stay home” go out and vote the Nazis out.
Here’s how I see it, if you dont vote, you dont get to bitch about the government.
I’m gonna shoot straight with you: USians haven’t been protesting nearly enough. Like not even remotely close. You all need to be out there, striking, organising.
Please don’t fix it, the world will be better off without you being able to act in charge. You have objectively been a force for evil my entire life and long before.
Let your global reputation and power forever be damaged.
To be clear, I don’t mean “fix it” as in restoring our reputation or power. We need to fix ourselves internally. If you think we have been a force for evil in the past, imagine how much worse it could be if we continue in the direction we are sprinting now. That is why we need to fix ourselves.
