I'd have picked the darker blue but either ought to work. It’s as close as I ever get 😅

What surprised me most about that, is he might actually have been able to read at the time 😏

Guessing Marge meant the Holocaust deniers…? 😬

Only if you look from inside the US. There *are* other countries, you know… 😏

Deities do not exist. So that’s not going to happen 🤷

They don’t care about the climate. They’re either too old (and rich) for having to fear the consequences or they’re actively accelerating the end of the world so they can get a rupture, er, get raptured 😏 Seriously, some of these loonies really believe this crazy 💩🥴

Ah. I was about to say that Seth Abramson mentioned this a few months ago, too. 😂

Bei uns. In USA wird die nächste Wahl wohl so wie un Russland ablaufen 🥴

That, too. With all that crypto shit he’s pushing, I’d argue the "make" part also applies. Sort of. But point taken.

It might take (a lot) longer than we'd hope for, yes. 🥺

Yes, well, now they have a new deeper understanding of how it could happen in Germany

Well, my country 🇩🇪 got a second chance so I’m optimistic that the US will, too.

Excellent comparison 😅

Yes, well, that only works if the elections aren’t tempered with… So if nothing miraculous happens, you may get stuck there…

Nah. I wouldn’t bother. They’re like weathervanes. That insight will be forgotten soon.

Und die Amis fanden Hitler eigentlich gar nicht schlecht. Um Haaresbreite hätten sie sich aus WW2 raus gehalten. Also um deren Integrität ist es nicht besonders gut bestellt. (Um unsere auch nicht so doll, aber zurzeit zum Glück noch hinreichend - mal sehen wie die nächste Wahl aussieht 😬)

Eben drum. Dass die AfD so viele Wähler hat kotzt mich unsäglich an. Und die republikanischen MAGAts sind noch schlimmer. Nur wenn sich bis jetzt niemand getraut hat, was dagegen zu tun, wird das in absehbarer Zukunft auch nicht passieren, siehe Russland…

If that were true, Dump would never ever have been elected in 2016… Today’s Americans look quite as useless as the Germans during the Nazi regime. And I am German… 🥴

While I haven’t completely deactivated my exTwitter account yet, I deleted the app from my phone and haven’t dared check back in months for this very reason. I just don’t want anyone else to get my handle 😅

Churchill is long dead and so are the people who managed "to stand up for what’s right". I’m not confident that this will happen again 😬

At this point I’ve given up hope that the outrage of the American people will suffice to achieve anything 😞

I always had the impression that a lot of Americans kept saying it like a mantra as if repetition made it true (or would at least convince themselves 😏)
Probably, a significant number of these Americans have a penchant for red hats and sport lots of flags…

Unfortunately, I doubt that Dump (much less RFK) cares about those people. He’d probably see it as a good thing if they died 😒

Education surely plays a part, too. And families have a strong impact. Family support (or lack thereof) can make all the difference.

Mostly I’ve given up trying to understand why. My best guess is that we (as a people) have cultivated egotism to an unhealthy degree at the expense of others. Social responsibility has become a dirty word! And mean streaks in a person’s character thrive instead of being discouraged.
