      It’s on the rest of the world, and all the non-fascist Americans, to stop it before it gets worse.

      I can’t believe you all are serious writing this stuff. America will move on after trump. America is going to be fine - as such as it is -. Likewise, everyone is going to be fine. Life in going to carry on.

      I get the German doesn’t understand, but come on, man. Ain’t going to be no Trump dictator. So much bs fear is being pushed. Resist it.

        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.

          Pleasing raise your awareness on this, or just don’t derive what you know from msm. The big shift that happened was perspectives. I love my northern socialist kid brother of a country. Please don’t write an essay, but give me 1 thing.

        “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?”

        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?

          A bet about what? That Trump tries to become a dictator? Lol. I’d bet it all on that he won’t…

          If you honestly think Trump could even get a third term, you don’t know anything about our political system, or it’s history.

            Well you’ve already lost that bet, because he self-identifies as a dictator and Republicans submitted a constitutional amendment to remove the two-term limit the day after he was confirmed.

            So pay up

              Ok. But no, because that won’t happen. No one’s buying that. The real trumpsters i suppose love it, but it won’t fly with Republicans at large id wager. Im not into starting that. And that’s a far cry from trying to become a dictator anyway. You need to understand i didn’t vote red or blue. I think we need to fight the hole system, not each other.

            You appear to be under the delusion that laws and historical precedents are self-enforcing. Laws that are not enforced are meaningless, and Trump and his mob are lawless.
