I know America deserves all the shit we're getting right now.
But I feel like like people in other countries are being a bit cavalier about the fact that they're locked in a room with America and it's got a loaded gun.
Trump may be an idiot, but he has the world's largest army and a nuclear arsenal at his fingertips.
I used to think he was a big dumb dumb. Then January 6th happened and I quickly realized he was a dangerous idiot and I haven't been the same ever since.
I've been watching history repeat itself while I've been surrounded people who still act like Trump and his cult-like followers are still a bunch of silly dumb dumbs.
I'm too exhausted to have any words to say anymore.
Republican America is not a loaded gun. It's a deranged rabid coyote. It seems so obvious: don't fight the rabid coyote. No one will win. But we're trapped here with it. Its taking its bites out of everyone close to it, and everyone else. What the fuck else are we supposed to do? Lie down and take it? Stand on the table and try to keep away? No one is coming to save us. This will not go away. They will not surrender.
The only way out is through; for Americans to start their civil war to disrupt their regime or, if they can manage it, figure some other way to oust their fascist government and their cult. To all the Americans fighting the good fight, keep it up, the world literally needs you.
The Republicans have already proven the laws mean nothing. They're already boasting plans to stay for a 3rd term. There's no waiting this out.
So, bring it on, you fascist fucks, let's fucking go.
It's very much the "you're locked in here with me" moment.
It's been a bit concerning seeing all the people just giddy with the prospect of millions of people dying from internal issues, either idiotically not understanding or simply being too naive, that when an animal dies, it doesn't go quietly. Especially not when it senses the cause of its death is near.
And I believe enough people will view the rest of the world as the cause, I genuinely think if it came down to losing control permanently or causing the literal end of the world by launching as many nuclear and conventional strikes as possible before death takes them.
Personally, I don't relish the downfall of any major country, and despite other countries issues I'd rather see them overthrow their tyrannical governments than grab popcorn and cheer as they crumble to civil wars and starvation. That just seems a bit too close to being "arch villain from a cartoon" for my taste.
I'd really like to see the Cure For Fascism being used here in my own country, but unfortunately "be the change you want to see in the world" just leaves a dead crazed lone gunman in the street. Organization will be needed.
It took me a while, but I finally understand why "may you live in interesting times" is a curse.
Ooh boy.
Every political move Donald Trump (Krasnov) has made since he lived in Russia has been an order from the Kremlin.
Like he lived in Russia for years, changed his party affiliation from Democrat to Republican, married a Slovenian escort with ties to the KGB, and then ran for president as a Republican with the full support of Russia's and China's troll farm operations (confirmed by the US Gov)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_interference_in_the_2016_United_States_elections
And Russia and China are allies.
So anyone paying attention can see this is Russia and China attempting to dethrone the US as the boot on the neck of the human race.
And TBH I'm a lot more afraid of China's boot considering the dissenters dissappear.
Be careful of Chinese troll farms invading these spaces to push their messaging as the US is dropping the ball.
He might be making decisions on behalf of Russia (no comment), but a LOT of rich and powerful Americans and politicians supported him and what he said he was going to do (which is exactly what he did do).
The USA absolutely dropped the ball.
I do too think trump lived in Russia, did he? I'm not defending him, cause he's indefensivle. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
He's traveled there a bunch and owns real estate in Russia, but I don't believe he ever lived there? I also haven't seen any real evidence that Melania has any ties to the KGB outside of just being Russian.
Edit: before anyone gets any ideas I am an American and I did not vote for trump.
I was expecting America to decline during my life. What surprised me is how fast and stupid it was.
This.
"COME ON DOWN TO CRAZY DOLAN'S WHERE WE'RE PRACTICALLY GIVING AWAY INFLUENCE! WANNA TAKE OVER EUROPE LMAO HERE'S MY VENMO! WANT US TO GO FROM G'DAY TO G'DLUCK WITH AUSTRALIA? THAT'LL BE ONE TRUMP HOTEL AND A DANCE WITH A GLOWING ORB^wow!!!^. ACT NOW, THESE DEALS WON'T LAST, BECAUSE PETER THIEL JUST CASH APP'D ME TO DRONE STRIKE THE FCC AND WHO FUCKING KNOWS WHAT'LL HAPPEN AFTER THAT"
This meme is literally me except I realize that I live in it
Dude. I fucking live here. I wanted to watch the hegemony decay, we've been responsible for some absolute nightmares. I did not want to life through shitting ourselves like a sun-setting dementia patient.
Yet here we are.
Shower thought:
I wonder if Rome had stand-up comedians, and if they had the best humor before the fall.
As an American, I'm fine with the US no longer being the most influential anymore, as long as the most influential country that replaces us is a democracy. Preferably much more democratic than we are.
It's certainly time for the US NOT to be the most influential. There should be term limits on stuff like that.
This shit hasn't been funny for at least a decade.
Yeah, those nuclear weapons aren't just going to walk away...
More concerned about the nukes, personally.
Not for much longer if Trump stays in the White House.
Depending on whether it is a slow self dismantling or a rapid explosion the US will either be a lot less, or a lot more influential.
The most influential for now…
Not anymore.
me but it's the haha sickos meme where i'm looking through a window from another room in the same house
Was.
American empire has barely started toppling, this is gonna get a whole lot more fucky before "was" is an accurate label :(
The only thing worse than the US on its deathbed is the US operating normally.
This isn’t the deathbed though. We still have by far the most powerful military in the world, a huge foreign policy apparatus, and a large integrated economy. This is like if your asshole boss comes down with a mental illness and just starts going nuts. Sure, it’s bad for him and could be kind of good… but there’s a high chance you’re going down with him.
Most powerful military in the world and keep losing every war they started.
I'm quite happy to see this shithole disassembling itself. Was about fucking time.
