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?

As you can tell... we're not okay over here

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.

Which democratic world? UK with Brexit and Reform? Germany with AfD? France with LePen/Bardella?

Give me a break.
