Symptoms of the faux illness include ‘Trump-induced general hysteria’ where a person struggles to distinguish between ‘legitimate policy’ and ‘psychic pathology’
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.

All great countries are destroyed. Why not yours?
How much longer do you think your country will last? Forever?”

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?
