    I think it’s clear that we can never rely on the US again in any respect. Absolute chaotic backwater sinkhole of an oligarch fascist state.

    We’re on our own.

    Maybe it’s good that we know that now.

      I can’t even rely on the US government to value human decency as a native citizen. I’ll keep fighting where I can, but yeah. Good luck.

      As an American, I agree. Hopefully the Republicans try to go off the rails enough that the public finally gets convinced that the only way to deal with these maniacs is their own language - violence.

        I hope you guys can get through it without anything dramatic happening, but I don’t think the world can afford to rely on the US being consistently reasonable any more. This is genuinely Russia level stuff.

        I honestly hope not, although I worry for the US.

          The issue is they aren’t going to stop with their plan. Whatever rights they can remove and also reinforce their own political position and wealth, they will do. And if things get far enough in their larger plan, there won’t be the option or ability to fight back, either democratically or otherwise.

          The only real hope I see is if they try to go too far too quickly and people realize that if they don’t make a proper stand, then they’ll lose everything.

        1. The people who voted for him unironically ain’t the brightest bulbs. I guarantee they’ll see Tr*mp blame Dems and run with it.

        2. Even if they do see them going off the rails, there’s no guarantees we’ll be able to do anything about it. For all we know, he could easily turn the country into a dictatorship where nobody gets to vote for anything anymore. As Tr*mp has said before, He’Ll OnLy Be A dIcTaToR dAy OnE (or something along those lines). In English, I’m positive that translates to “Democracy Is Dead”.

        I think if the people want to fight back it needs to happen pretty soon. Trump already announced military force against „enemies from within“.
