I’m sorry but today I lost all hope and trust in America. What he did to Zelensky was humiliating and disgusting. Your country was respected and valued by the free world. Today you lost that respect. Sorry but shame on America.

Thank you. I don’t see how this disaster can be sustained for 4 years. I’m embarrassed, sad & scared. Thank you for the support. We’re trying everything we can think of.
This. Please don’t think that most of us feel this way. 1/3 (!) of Americans didn’t vote - unpacking that would probably be a doctoral dissertation - and 1/3 voted for Harris. It’s not close to a mandate for Trump. I’m getting my ducks in a row so we have options for emigrating if need be.
I’m sure you will be most welcome in the UK or Canada. Which is a wonderful country but even so. Don’t give up on your own country. America is a wonderful place, it’s just lost its way a bit. Hugs from England. 🏴
Thank you - it is surreal to be a citizen of what I had always thought to be a stable nation who wanted peace and to work with other nations. What I learned as a kid was that this was an imperfect, improving place with checks and balances and where anyone could come for a better life.
When Trump was elected the first time, I was devastated and I learned that the US is not what I had thought it was. When Biden was elected, I thought we had turned it around. With Trump again, now I am irate and fearful that with the decimation he’s already done, our democracy will fail.
I really don’t want to leave - it’s my home and I protest and call my reps and will fight. I have many loved ones I wouldn’t want to leave behind. I think I’m just in a such state of shock and anger and grief and and I am trying to find some way that I can feel like I have some element of control.
Thank you for your words and the hug. 🩷
He WILL be gone. We will come back, eventually.
My mother once said she did not want to live to see the end of this county. She didn’t. I want to live to see it resume the process of forming a more perfect union. What we have now sure as hell isn’t it.
I’m not giving up. But the dread and sorrow is hard to bear, especially while people around me (I live in Tennessee, for pity’s sake) think things are going great and that we are on the path to glory. I think they’re going to be disappointed. And then - we’ll fix things.
Big hugs back. 🥰
A blue dot in a red state. Don’t despair Mary. I lived in a massively conservative district and we turned it liberal. Why because we showed them how awful the shitbags who had been running our country truly were. Don’t give up hope Mary. Hugs 🤗
I am ashamed and also feel naive. I never believed my friends and neighbors would really allow this guy to be at the wheel again. His actions are no surprise. Sadly, this is just the beginning. Free World, I pray we will see you again in four years but who can say?
Oh I am so sorry. I feel your pain. To be led by someone who brings nothing but shame on your country is awful. We had a couple of those as well. Boris Johnson and Liz the lettuce truss!
I think me and a few hundred million Americans need your pep talk too. I’ve been in mourning for my country since November, for legacy media since January or December.
I’m so sorry MB. Stay calm and stay strong and get out there and use your voice! It’s the only way you can fight this tyranny. Look at the Russians, they have no voice, you still do! Big hugs from England. 🏴 🤗
I know. The majority of Americans are horrified by Trumps and eyeliner man’s treatment of Zelensky. As for eyeliner man I think he’s probably second most hated man in Europe after musk.
Agreed. Don’t apologize for losing hope because of our pretend mob-boss’ shameful behavior. I’m exhausted and it’s only been a month. That feeling of dragging to the end of his last 4 years, wondering if he’d ever actually leave, and then J6. This feels like we just picked right back up there.
Does it look like we'll get through it from the outside? Because we're less than 2 months in and it doesn't feel like we will. It's been terrifying and infuriating up until today. No longer being proud to be an American even though we had plenty of faults? Devastating.

All we can do now is protest & scream at GOP "lawmakers".
There's also an apology to Zelenskyy floating around on BlueSky where Americans can sign it.
