Trump is incredibly different from everything in your lifetime. You either haven’t been paying attention, or your a frog in a pot and just didn’t notice the temperature rising.

For all of your life things just kinda worked out, things were never super great under either party but your country didn’t collapse either. So you’re expecting things to go on like that for the rest of your life.

History does indeed rhyme, but it’s not rhyming with W Bush, or Obama or anything else in your lifetime. It rhymes with guys like Putin, Erdogan, Mussolini, and Hitler.

Trump is incompetent and a clown. But still he’s doing a lot of damage because Americans won’t stop him because of the false sense of complacency.

But while Americans stick the sand, the rest of the world is noticing. And we don’t see Trump as the cause of the problems, he’s a symptom of the rot in American culture. It’s scary having someone as deranged as Trump in power. But even more scary is what may follow him. Trump is at the top of a fascist movement, but he’s deranged and incompetent. The next leader of American fascism may not be so incompetent.

We all hoped you would just vote for the black lady and things would have indeed gone back to normal. But that didn’t happen. Americans either voted for fascism or were complacent about it as you are. So now the world has to change. Trade will be routed around the US. Alliances with the US are just paper now, they’re meaningless. The US will be isolated as Spain was under Franco.

You could’ve just voted in primaries and got some people in power that would tax the wealthy. The US is the wealthiest country in the world, just the wealth didn’t trickle down as Reagan told you it would. But if you thought being a wealthy country with a population indoctrinated into apathy on wealth distribution was bad? What happens when that wealth just isn’t there and you’ll still have a population too apathetic to think about wealth distribution?

The US is fucked and the rest of the world is trying to distance itself from you before it all collapses. But go on and keep thinking everything is going to keep on as it always has.

Not surprising, Trump’s first wife who “fell down the stairs” is buried at one of his golf courses.

That’s why it used to be not orange, obviously.

At this point I’d be shocked if he was able to act like a human for five minutes.

The US always wins the invasion but pretty much always loses the occupation.

Air power isn’t how you win, because it’s hard to hide a jet fighter. Assault rifles, RPGs, IEDs and a willingness to fight longer than they’re willing to is what’s needed to win the occupation.

Americans forget that Canadians served in Afghanistan. But I don’t. I know someone who diffused IEDs over there, pretty sure he knows how to build them if needed.

That would be a violation of the Ottawa treaty.

And landmines don’t actually stop an army, they just slow it down and inhibit maneuver.

The supplementary reserve of 300,000 citizen soldiers that’s being planned is a better idea. There would be no stopping a US invasion, but 300,000 resistance fighters ensures the US would lose the occupation, as it usually does.

Kinda like thought crime?

You don’t realize the damage he’s doing to the US in general?

It’s difficult to know who’s a dissident and who’s a spy or terrorist.

Iran just threatened to kill the leader of another country. Yeah fuck Trump and all that, but you aren’t going to open the doors to anyone from a country that’s issuing threats, especially a country that’s complicit in a lot of terrorist acts.

Russia is engaged in a sabotage campaign in Europe, so the reasons for blocking Russians from Europe is similar.

Still too embarrassed to accept reality.

So Dick Cheney was conspiring with Trump? Must have made for an awkward Thanksgiving with his daughter, don’t you think?

A conspiracy theory that only an American would believe. Denying reality is just compounding the embarrassment your country has become.

ITT: People blaming everything on the party Americans voted out of power instead of the people actually doing the bad things.

Literally the only thing the democrats can do is whatever they can convince enough of the GOP to go along with, which isn’t much. Many times the most they can do is write a strongly worded letter.

Are you capable of math? If D = 213 and R = 218, is D > R or is R > D? Oh right Americans can’t do math, so blame the Democrats I guess!

Dumbest country on earth, blaming the opposition party for what the governing party is doing.

When there’s FASCISTS in power, you are supposed to oppose the FASCISTS. This isn’t hard.

Y’all can’t come to terms with the fact that your country is being run by a fascist child molester dictator and just pretend like it’s someone else running the country. Too embarrassed to admit y’all should’ve voted for the competent black lady instead of voting for deranged lunatic child molester. Or maybe you just didn’t vote because of some bullshit “principles”. When your principles result in fascism, you have some really stupid principles. Too embarrassed to admit you filled your heads with internet bullshit that you were unable to do the painfully obvious.

You’re still incapable of opposing fascism because you still want to keep your heads filled with internet bullshit, never questioning where the bullshit is coming from.

Stupid fucking Americans.

Do you think complaining on the internet will fix things?

Voting is an action people can do. Once people are able to do some form of action, they could be encouraged to further action. Americans are currently below the bar of even voting. You think they’re going to do more than voting if they can’t even do that?

Y’all are so much in love with the romanticized myth of the American revolution you believe that if you write some pretty words about freedom and equality there will be another “clean revolution” that will solve all of your problems. The reality is that your “founding fathers” were slave masters, their pretty words were hypocrisy meant to fool regular people into fighting and dying so that the wealthy slave masters could get wealthier by killing the indigenous people living to the west and taking their land. People were tortured for any dissent, there were massive numbers of refugees from the US during the revolution because of how oppressive the government was.

All of your rights actually came from voting, not from the bullshit fairy tale about “founding fathers” they indoctrinated you into believing from a very young age.

That’s the message that won the GOP the last election. Are being paid by them, or did you just believe someone else paid by the GOP who told you not to vote?

Be honest if aliens from space showed up and just abducted Trump and put him into space prison, how angry would you be about that?

This makes me think you’re a bot shilling hope that isn’t real

This makes me think you’re a bot shilling apathy to prevent the GOP from losing.

France, UK and most of Europe are part of NATO and in recent days have sent small military forces to Greenland to show that, unlike the US, they will honour their alliances.

Trump is trying to break NATO because it’s what daddy Putin wants him to do.

It’s not even former allies. Denmark is a current ally according to treaties that are signed into US law. Sure the US is effectively no longer part of NATO but all of the official reasons for invading Greenland could be accomplished by Trump admitting some agreements made by past Presidents were actually good.

This is all because one deranged old child molester wants to put his name on the map and a whole bunch of people are too gutless to admit that’s what’s going on.

Gotta follow Price is Right rules. Closest without going over.

Americans will whine “but what about the democrats?!?” all the way down the road to fascism.

Y’all didn’t vote for them, there’s nothing they can do. How about blame the fascism on on the fascists doing it?

Hate it when that happens.
