Shshshsh!

This is UMURIKA!

You’re supposed to blame everything wrong on “the left”, or, “commies”.

It could come to your country too unless you take action. I see so many other countries making the same mistakes we do here and it makes me so sad knowing that this could be their fate too unless they make different decisions.

The truth is I notice in Europe they too in my opinion haven’t done enough to combat disinformation for sure they’re better than we are but it’s not enough.

What we need is for every child to be taught as much as possible about critical thinking, propaganda and disinformation. The quality of education children get is super important. In addition I believe emotional resilience must be taught in schools somehow.

Please for everyone reading this contact your politicians or your school board and demand more done to combat disinformation.

Also remember we are all in this together. Look at all the Trump copycats there are in the world. Look at how Trump learned from Hungary and Russia. Because they were not stopped in one country they feel safe doing it in another. We as people must support each other and stand up for each other when bad things are happening somewhere because when something bad happens to someone else it could one day be you it happens to.

It should’ve been me. Please clap!

Ironically the idea of an alternate 2016 where Jeb! won the election is why I’ve used variations of the Jeb! username across platforms. Not saying Jeb! is any good, but lesser of two evils and all.

Jeb! engineered the election manipulation scheme that got his idiot brother into the White House, where his administration’s negligence, incompetence, and corruption led to the avoidable deaths of over 10,000 American citizens, and countless foreign nationals, as well as the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.

Jeb! belongs in prison with the rest of the traitors.

Yeh and 99.5% of them have since passed away, all that’s left is grift riding on the coat tails of stolen valor.

I’m a German guy from Berlin, next year I’ll be 50. My dad was born in 1944 and it’s pretty safe to say he survived being cut off from food supplies by the Soviets only because Americans pulled off the Berlin Airlift. These brave pilots helped save the lives of people they had considered enemies not much earlier.

So I would not be alive were it not for Americans. Am I indebted to America? Fuck yes, of course I am.

Having said all that, it’s so painful to see America turn to fascism - the very thing those GIs you mention fought against. A country I love, people I love, losing their minds and their hearts. Literally turning evil, led by a criminal lunatic who so obviously follows the demagogue playbook…

when he was known as tim osman? or after?

More like apart of this world rn tbh

It’s actually in some ways refreshing in a sense that the US is embracing its role as imperial villain in many peoples stories. Shocking to people that live in America sure but to anyone that has experience with America’s foreign policy as an external entity it seems like America is finally accepting itself for who it really is and embracing its decline in a sort of reverse coming of age manner.

It sucks.

And it was preventable, if we actually held legislators accountable for what they do. People, over the course of the last 40 years came to care about team color more than anything else.

The puppet master bankers will have their puppets do their bidding and take the blame for it.

Maybe the solution space is further upstream yet.

if one jackass getting put in office

Twice. TWICE!!

A public display to the world, say like the Nuremberg Trials 2.0 for the Trump admin would be helpful.

You say you don’t believe it will ever happen. I know things can feel tough and discouraging sometimes but I learned that if I take action each day I feel a lot better and it gives me hope that things will get better. Each day you make choices and those choices determine what kind of country you want to live in. If you want to live in a country that never recovers from this, that oppresses people, violates human rights and causes untold global suffering you can choose to do nothing or leave comments on social media saying that things won’t change or there’s nothing that we can do.

Or you can choose to make a difference. How you make a difference will depend on the person. But here’s what I can suggest: try to make your daily actions support moving the country into the right direction by having conversations with people, education others how to make a difference and boycott Trump-aligned companies and put pressure on and encourage organizations, institutions, companies and people to stand up to Trump.

Ceasing using Twitter can make a difference. Telling someone who says he/she might buy a Tesla not to do it makes a difference.

Asking a restaurant showing Fox News on their TV to change the channel can help.

Joining a protest can help.

Volunteering to knock on doors for your local Democrats can make a huge difference!

Even choosing to exercise more and sleep well can help because it will help you fight what’s going on better.

Whatever you do no matter how small it adds up. Courage is contagious.

Also super important you vote in every election and primary and make sure you’re registered to vote. Urge likeminded friends and family to do likewise. Offer them a ride if transportation is an issue.

Now I ask you: Which one will it be for you? Will you choose to make a difference or will you not?
