I‘m german and I watch in real time how a fascist Gouvernement is taking over the US.

Sometimes I feel like I take crazy pills, when a friend of mine assures me that Donald Trump is just a business man who wants to help the country. Or when a good friend of mine who I considered sane and intelligent until this moment sends me a link to a J. D. Vance interview and tells me what a very smart guy this is.

It’s infuriating. And lonely. I think every American against this should be allowed to speak openly and participate. We have to work together, or we have lost already.

I can assure you that it’s the people you are talking to that take the crazy pills on the regular.

There’s a video on I believe YouTube of jd Vance talking about east Palestine (where there was a train derailment and chemical spill that destroyed a town). You should watch it. He sounds like Bernie sanders in it. That’s what makes him so dangerous. He’s smart, he’s competent, he’s got a handful of good ideas (broken clock right twice a day) but he’s also a fucking fascist. IIRC Hitler improved working conditions for the good Aryan Germans during his reign while doing horror to everyone else. That’s how they get their support and a whole lot of people will dismiss the crazy shit as not really happening.

The technofascists that are backing trump want to seek power legally just like Hitler and then … just like Hitler … turn the country into a dictatorship. And genocide the undesirables. Look up Curtis yarvin. Dudes a fucking creep of a philosopher that has the ear and backing of all the technofascists. They are out in the open with what they’re doing.

Weird that we have more solidarity with the EU than Mexico.

Shared language and cultural background goes far. But it's definitely time we strengthen ties beyond that

Edit: why downvote for this? I suspect I misrepresented something

Racism goes even further.

I knew this was the route America was going on since I was a kid. Walked the picket line with teachers during high school when they went on strike, and was appalled at how I was spit on and cursed at by conservative adults.

In 2015/2016, told everyone Bernie was our second chance after we whiffed on Al Gore, and then we again fucked that up.

The masses here are beyond stupid. Wish I had the means to bring my family elsewhere.

Don’t know who needs to hear it, but here’s some advice that my philosophy professor left me with a long time ago:

Sometimes you can only save one person, and it’s okay for that person to be you.

European here. The fault is rarely ever in the masses. The oligarchs you're trying to fight against control the media and the narrative, it's extremely hard to win against that. Furthermore, wasn't Bernie chosen by popular support and then kicked out by DNC?

[–] onecarmel@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

This time it certainly feels like it - more people than I ever expected really do openly support what Trump is doing. It’s baffling.

And yes, they did. I can’t say for certain that he had the majority of Dem voters in his corner, though. It seemed like most anyone over 40 in 2016 wouldn’t give Bernie the time of day. Lots of older folks thought he was way too progressive

Americans whining about wanting to leave the country and take refuge in Canada

for what, so you can squat here and continue to do nothing while your country becomes a Fascist and Imperialist Oligarchy?

No. Maybe we can talk after the Civil war starts when your country invades ours. But for now, this is your problem to deal with.
