Symptoms of the faux illness include ‘Trump-induced general hysteria’ where a person struggles to distinguish between ‘legitimate policy’ and ‘psychic pathology’
The police will shoot you, maybe burn your house or neighborhood down, steal everything you own, Lock you up without charges, and then if you can ever afford a lawyer to sue them you might get out of jail only to find the burned-out hole in the ground you used to live in was sold to a property developer and none of the money found its way to you.
You also owe tens of thousands of dollars in back taxes on the burned down house for the time you were in jail, but all of the money for selling the house was given to some scam artist who knew you wouldn’t be able to stop them.
You can’t afford to go to the doctor, but a third of your income is spent on health insurance. It takes 2 hours of work to afford a dozen eggs. You no longer have a car because they towed it from your driveway while you were locked up and you can’t even afford to get it out of impound despite the fact that every day the cost of storing the vehicle goes up by more than you earn.
This country is a fucking nightmare for so many people.
And that’s true of every repressive regime that has ever been overthrown by people power. Just remember: if we don’t resist, they’ll just find it easier to kill us. There’s no option where we’re safe and they still exist.
I mean you have had more constitutional crises each month since Trump’s inauguration than you had in a full presidential term before that.
The massive power grab the executive is performing is one thing, but that the president at the same time cannot be trusted to comply with court orders and openly goes after critics and his opposition.
What would you call a ruler that cannot be prosecuted for anything they do, weaponizes the courts against dissenting voices, turns their back on allies in favor of dictators, and whose closest allies break laws regulating them weekly without consequences? This is the reality currently. All that really differentiates him from a clear dictator is also breaking the law on term limits, not leaving office when required as he already tried and failed in his first term.
How do you “move on” from knowing my neighbors are nazi fascists? How do I just ignore the fact they voted to destroy families of people they dont like, dehumanizing them and laughing at it when people fall apart?
You don’t get to pretend you voted for a fascist party and aren’t a fascist yourself. We all know that if there is a Trump replacement when he dies these same people will want a new hate party leader in office. If you think we are just going to move in maybe ask the Germans how painful the transition of the 20 years post WW2 was for them. That’s what is in store for the US if things don’t change now.
It’s already very much not “fine.” I could write you an essay but you don’t seem the type to argue in good faith. Want a small example? I’m Canadian. Never seen an ally turn so fast, nor seen such a high level of anti-American sentiment in my life. From trusting and supportive to disgusted - not just as the fascist wannabe government - but at Americans themselves for their pseudo-exceptionalism, pig-headed displays of lack of intellect.
You might not recognize it, or care - but there’s been a huge shift and it’s happened almost overnight.
“Rome was destroyed, Greece was destroyed, Persia was destroyed, Spain was destroyed.
All great countries are destroyed. Why not yours?
How much longer do you think your country will last? Forever?”
As a german: this is 1:1 the 3rd Reich playbook.
Stop it as long as you can!
We have no ability to effect any meaningful change at this point outside of high velocity lead poisoning.
I kinda want to leave for good.
Well, better organize then.
You have. Go in the street in masses make sure that Republicans fear you.
Our german constitution allows for violence from civilians to protect the democratic order if any other means failed.
We have this for good reasons. To make sure we don’t ever end up with a dictatorship again.
It will pe painful, it will be ugly, but if you wait to long this is the only way
In America, our system works like this:
The police will shoot you, maybe burn your house or neighborhood down, steal everything you own, Lock you up without charges, and then if you can ever afford a lawyer to sue them you might get out of jail only to find the burned-out hole in the ground you used to live in was sold to a property developer and none of the money found its way to you.

Though most democracies don’t shoot people when they are in good times quite like the US.
Good luck with AfD. Don’t let your problem grow to be as large as ours has gotten.
Thanks! We fight!
We had millions in the street against the afd and we won’t stop!
We will take any legal and civil action we can
It’s too late. It’s now on the rest of the world to prepare for the American Nazi regime
It’s on the rest of the world, and all the non-fascist Americans, to stop it before it gets worse.

God. You are an awful person. Please stop talking
Keep you head in the sand, mate, I’m sure you’ll be safe like that.

Wanna make a bet?
I want to remind you about all the things people said we were “overreacting about” years ago, how did that turn out in light of recent events?
