This guy? 🥸

canadianredfeather.bsky.social•72 days ago

I find it really hard to absolve all Americans. First of all the 🍊barf bag didn’t do this by himself.
Everyone remember his first term and 77 million voted for him and 85 millions didn’t vote.
And now the whole world is stuck with this 🤡🍊
The sycophants, the mainstream media. Just in 3 months.

No. The people did NOT vote him into office. That’s just the narrative he wants people to believe. He did not win a legitimate election - the same way so many other dictators get into power. He even admitted he cheated with Elon’s help. Everything with Trump is smoke & mirrors. EVERYTHING.

The trade war is one thing, but the damage being done to the culture and the systems that define civilisation, such as law and order and individual rights will mean steady decline and descent into survival of the most corrupt

Being pissed off means we still care. We are fucking done with your shithole country

lynnais.bsky.social•71 days ago

We already know that. Your country has no choice but to turn on us and work with your remaining allies.

summertimedesigns.bsky.social•66 days ago

Sadly, he’s done a great job of isolating Americans from the rest of the world, which was clearly one of his goals. The American people (except for MAGA) understand completely and support the rest of the world in putting their feet down. We WANT everyone to stand up to the terrorist.

Americans also forget that we did this to ourselves when we allow big corporations to send everything overseas because they are greedy bastards and we love cheap stuff. Even if we bring back manufacturing to this country at the same scale as China, do you think Americans really want those jobs?

anxiouspepper.bsky.social•72 days ago

Ask farmers if they could hire Americans to do even a fraction of what the immigrants are doing during harvest time. Ask how many Americans are willing to work in the meat packing factories. This will be no different. Good luck getting Americans to take super low wages to work in shit conditions.

mattelliott85.bsky.social•72 days ago

This is what makes it all so senseless. It's to achieve everything from replacing income tax to restoring manufacturing. If it does one, it can't possibly do the other

professorlaz.bsky.social•72 days ago

“We” haven’t!!! 🍊has.

If the corporate Democratic establishment had simply allowed the will of the voters to flourish instead of using their corporate influence to manufacture consent against Bernie and for Hillary and then Biden, we wouldn't be living this nightmare. When you obstruct democracy, you get tyranny.

falken.bsky.social•72 days ago

I wouldn't exactly say the problem is that the USA has pissed off the whole world.

I think the problem is that for about 100 years, the rest of the world has put their money into the US because the US are dependable. Now it looks like the US can't be trusted from one presidential term to another.

lynnais.bsky.social•71 days ago

As Americans, one of the ways we can fight back is to spend locally and buy only what we need. The lack of economic growth Trump needs to stay in power will tank his presidency.

mb1e.bsky.social•71 days ago

Good point on the national pride part . China has been around for millennia. The US is around for not even 300 years. There's so much history for them to feel proud about, though I'm sure there's lots of bad too. Also for most other peoples.

caomuitomau.bsky.social•72 days ago

This isn't "on you", the citizens in general. This is on Trump and his billionaire entourage and the "sponsors" of his election. At the most, also his voters.

the-whip.bsky.social•72 days ago

Yes it is - he's been elected twice.

caomuitomau.bsky.social•72 days ago

I was thinking about that, actually. Still, its basically the same people that voted for him the two times, mostly. Maybe even less than that on the second go. Isn't it?

the-whip.bsky.social•72 days ago

If the USA isn't responsible, then no country is responsible for anything it has done ever. He was quite clear about his intentions - the only thing people care about is that they are going to be less well off than they thought.

caomuitomau.bsky.social•72 days ago

You read it as you prefer. I prefer not to judge people as a whole. Right now, the problem is Trump. And the entre USA aren't responsible for that. Only his supporters.
USA Democracy is dead, and that's the billionaires responsability for trying to buy Democracy off. Doesn't work and they FUFO.

caomuitomau.bsky.social•72 days ago

FUFO is an acronym for "fuck up and find out". Kinda like FUBAR, which is whats gonna happen to the USA. Fucked up beyond all recognition.
Republicans thought they were gonna win. They won't.

mywhitefeather.bsky.social•72 days ago

I don’t know if Americans appreciate that the world has never seen them as the good guy, just a Great Power that occasionally did the right thing. With Trump, they no longer have that fig leaf covering their base nature, and even once he’s gone the world’s perception won’t change back.
