President Trump on Thursday suggested the federal government could “take back” Washington if the democratic socialist candidate wins the race to replace outgoing Mayor Muriel Bowser. &#…
I really wish that the rest of the world would realize that only about 23% of the total American population actually voted for Donald Trump in 2024. Even fewer of those people actually support him now.
And while there are certainly nearly infinite arguments as to why Americans should get out and vote, the reality is that the votes of merely 74 million people are now dictating our lives of over 330 million Americans, and the rest of the world is paying the consequences of that, too.
The vast majority of Americans fucking hate Donald Trump. I really wish the rest of the world didn’t lump us all in with him and his supporters, which are an increasingly shrinking fraction of us.
Don’t forget RGB. She stubbornly brought about the end of many checks and balances, and also set woman back a generation with the fall of roe v wade.
Fuck RGB. All she had to do was retire well past the age anyone should retire. But she needed that power, I guess. Power hungry assholes ruin everything.
Ignore the downvotes. Sane, non-fascists should all be allies regardless of where they live. There’s a good chance those downvoting have rising fascist populism threats in their own borders too.
To people are downvoting or blaming anti-fascists within the US just because they haven’t “solved” fascism yet, I’ll just say: if you actually care about stopping Trump and fascism around the world, try to make friends and not enemies. Fascists would prefer we fight each other.
we have a very big boat to turn around. a nation of 330+ million people is no small thing to manage. we’ve done the whole “political revolution” thing twice, and it cost us nearly half our population each time. we’d rather not do that again , especially if there’s a better way. and, of course, there is.
but it’s… complicated and it takes time… but, with these midterm elections, there’s an opportunity to make things better, or, at least, shut off the firehose of nightmares.
I was in the streets when ice was disappearing us, at risk to myself. My wife was resistance training and delivering groceries to people hiding. Don’t be a divider, be a helper.
Half of Americans couldn’t tell the difference between Harris and Trump. We’re not good honest people. There are fewer of us that are good than there are fascists or those willing to sacrifice us to the fascists.
at least we can claim this over the nazis-- we know our concentration camps are concentration camps, and we’re doing everything we can to constantly protest and expose them and shut them down.
our efforts thus far are… far less successful than we had hoped. but we’re doing everything we can to stop it and let the world know what’s happening. In that, we have been extremely successful.
And those responsible… we will make them PAAAAAAAY for their fucking crimes!
But there is a lot of shit we have to crawl through before we see that light at the end of the tunnel. And at this point,… whether we’re even going to see that light? That’s a matter of faith. Faith in the best of us.
For now, we’re navigating shit in the dark. Wish us luck. We are all going to need it.
It’s a myth that the average German was unaware of what the Nazis were doing. They knew as well as we do here today; plenty were in total support, plenty didn’t believe it and plenty didn’t care, but few were totally unaware.

Merrick Garland and Biden had a chance to prevent all of this

And if you don’t shut off the firehose of nightmares in a couple of months? This might be your last chance at a peaceful way to turn things around…
Thanks. A lot of motherfuckers forget about Normandy.
You’re all allowing it to continue. There are no “good ones.” 30 percent of you are Nazis, the other 70% are Nazi enablers or abject cowards.
You’re not “trying.” You’re waiting for someone else to do something.
Do something or fucking sit down.

The guy you replied to constantly tries to incite violence all over lemmy.
As if there wasn’t a huge number of options between doing nothing and violence.
Thought I read something about overseas influence operations active on Reddit. Seems to make sense they’d be working other social media sites as well.
