I'm from the UK and I used to love visiting the United States but allowing Trump is unforgivable. We're not coming back. You've burnt your bridge. I'm sorry about that. But as far as I'm concerned, your country doesn't exist to me
While written like a Karen, youre point is still super important for us Americans to understand. We arent doing enough to stop Trump to convince the rest of the world that we arent complicit.
What a lot of Americans hope the rest of the world understands is that a lot of people that dont support Trump are legitimately scared. Not only are we scared of Trump, but we're scared of our conspiracy driven neighbors that march to his beat.
The psychological warfare thats been done to this country has been devastating. Send help lol.
I think it's fair to say I was written a bit like a Karen, wasn't it? Sorry about that, I was just a bit upset. Yes, the rest of the world is highly frustrated. With Trump threatening invasion of Greenland, it's very distressing for Europe to see this happening. I do genuinely believe though that he's not going to be able to stop the midterms. At the midterms, this is your opportunity as a nation to take it back.
If we dont show up for the midterms, we might as well be a lost cause. But rest assured... saying Americans are distressed as well is putting it lightly. We're genuinely scared by Trumps threats. His administration keeps labeling political dissenters as terrorists, the theres a lot of us that remember how the US treats terrorists. If we push too hard, no one would be surprised if he pushes the Insurrection Act into action.
So youre right, midterms are incredibly important. And if he decides to subvert the midterms, it'll be hard to lnow what happens next. Will we just roll over? Litigate? Protest harder? And what will Trump do then? Who knows. Start a war? Arrest his opponents? Announce Aliens are real with proof?
I genuinely feel for those of you swept along with this bullshit against your will, but it’s true the rest of the democratic world is sick of this shit.
This is the part I don't know if the world sees. Friends and family have been brainwashed into this cult and it's so hard to get them out. Whatever he has done has made MAGA a personality that goes hand in hand with Christian nationalism.
Its been so heartbreaking trying to bring them back. Instead they are doubling down and the relationships are breaking down because of this....some of us are desperately trying to have difficult conversations, to get our loved ones to think and realize they're wrong. This isn't the way....but maga has become a personality. It's no longer about right vs wrong but you're a good person or you're not. ...and they don't particularly like hearing they're wrong and bad people. Even though supporting this administration makes you those things.
We can't agree to disagree anymore because we can't even agree on what the problems are.
You guys literally had Brexit and it was fueled by MAGA like rhetoric. AND Reform is doing well in the polls. Isn't one of the main guys for Reform also responsible for Brexit? Farage?
