Its an absolute clown show from some of us inside the US too, but I’ve been saying “look at the clown!” ever since he entered politics and I don’t know man. People just keep telling me why they like the clown guy and his stupid red nose, and I’m just so tired. So tired and alone.
I have never felt more alienated in the country that I was born and raised in than I do now. It’s equal parts infuriating and horrifying.
All I’ll say to my European friends is that I hope they keep the science / engineering / skilled worker incentive programs open for the brain drain that is doubtlessly going to accelerate, because I think I’m going to take advantage of that next year.
It’s because the government had already (via the zoning code) destroyed most “third places” where people used to get together in person, and the billionaire-controlled traditional media and social media have conspired to suppress anti-fascist sentiment online.
You’re not alone, I’ve disliked him for over twenty years and have been saying the same since he entered politics. Unfortunately, 1/3 of our country refuses to have the slightest bit of introspection on the matter and there is probably another 1/3 that’s too uninformed/misinformed to care. He’s managed to gain power at the absolute worst time for a moron like him to have power and our checks and balances that are supposed to prevent what he’s doing we’re all based on there being decent people in power to stop him.

Every election since I turned 18 made me feel more like an alien in my own country. A country my family’s lived in since the 1730s.

Feeling alone is how They want you to feel.
Well sure, but knowing that doesn’t fix the problem

We are not alone. And we should be getting louder.
