These “what will the world think” statements are delusion. The key question is how to get 50% of American ( not foreigners) to wake up and understand what is happening.
We know the deal out here. America is mostly beautiful and patriotic people. You have allowed something to fester that you have to fix now. You'll do it, Jasmine Crockett, Booker, Bernie and AOC have primed the pump, it's almost time to flood the fields. You've got this America!
This isn't new for those of us with a deeper tan. He makes a certain demographic look bad. For instance, if another black person is elected with a majority black delegation, I'm willing to bet they move differently. The majority has proven to be fools.
As a European I do not understand why Americans are not fighting back more ferociously against this fascist narcissistic felon. I saw protests once. If this happened here, our streets would be on fire. Really.
Take it as a warning; the regime controls all the media and most major institutions (law firms, universities etc have all buckled). People are ignorant, divided, leaderless. The democrats are probably compromised at many levels; we’re trying right fight back but it’s hard to see hope at times.
Most people - & Democratic legislators - truly did not think that anything like this could actually happen. We had grown complacent & took our Democracy for granted. Honest minds couldn't even have fathomed this scenario. The warnings of those of us who knew the danger fell on deaf ears.
Anti Black racism is how they got here. Anti Black racism is why "americans are not fighting back more ferociously." It is never more complicated than that when it comes to ANY element of us dysfunction: healthcare, school lunches, transportation, housing, gun control....
Many of the minorities that usually are the first out there are simply ✨not✨
Black people are tired and rightfully so. The immigrant community is now quiet too because now we know they're snatching us too so we gotta be smart. 1/2
Many of us have been in survival mode since Nov 4. Americans were so incredibly spoiled. We are used to someone solving shit for us. And individualistic AF for many reasons but really if it doesn't affect me is not issue. 2/3
Thank you friend! I feel at peace with certain things. Humans have migrated all over the world for our entire existence. My parents chose to come here and there's that and maybe I have to make the same choice. This might not be home forever And that's ok. We didn't survive this long by luck lol
The job tie is a reality.
I recently left my public facing job & started attending protests.
There are a lot of retirees involved because their (non) jobs aren’t in jeopardy.
I was happy to see young people, some still in HS.
There have been protests starting in February. I've personally attended three massive protests. The media just started covering them for the April 5th protest. There's another planned for April 19th followed by May 1st. We are not backing down!
Republicanism - based on dogma rather than science and being bereft of data, has a way of causing participants to act foolishly.
NEVER VOTE REPUBLICAN.
I think Americans need to wake up to the fact that when today’s Republicans talk about fiscal conservatism, they mean more tax breaks for the rich, not fiscal responsibility.
You're right & IT IS SO OBVIOUS. It's not new. They've been lying about fiscal conservativism since Reagan said "rich people piss money down unto the masses if you give these wealthy people tax breaks" while he massively hiked the national debt! Everyone needs to stop swallowing right-wing shit.
I seriously irritated the phone aidecof one of my senators by noting his complicity in cruel foreign deportations. His reply was that I knew nothing about him personally. A large bet says that even at a distance we know a *LOT* about such functionaries.
"McConnell, when Garland was nominated, directed Senate Republicans to not consider Obama's pick. He then expanded the so-called "nuclear option" to get rid of the filibuster to confirm Supreme Court nominees in 2018.
Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett were confirmed with a simple majority. "

Had a conference last week that was attended by companies from all over the globe. It felt so strange to have people from other countries feel sorry for our team (we’re based in the U.S.). Just last year, people I met with were telling me how much they love America. Totally different this year!
To our constitutional law experts—how can we fire him before 2028? Because our legal system couldn’t lock him up for multiple crimes before this dystopian descent. @gtconway.bsky.social What if he refuses to leave after 2028? What if we’re all in deportation camps before then?
Everyone needs to understand that none of this shit is going to be settled by protests, 26 hour speeches, tv interviews & analysis. MAGA is moving forward no matter what.. they are forcing the endgame, which unfortunately means one thing. YOU need decide if you are going to fight or not..
They should post a video of the sweatshop that makes that dreadful article of America’s decline, and post it. Being replayed enough, might sink in to the psyche of the average maga moron…. might. It’s how Russian trolls became so effective, constantly drumbeating in the psyche of said morons.
TRUMP 2.0 THE FIRST QUARTER: The Golden Age of Grift is here. He’s back in the Oval, scroll in hand, hats rebranded, & Space Force shaking hands with aliens. America, brace yourself, it’s MAGA, but make it merch.
With all due respect, the world stopped laughing on Nov. 6, when we all jumped back in time to Jan. 30, 1933.
Trump & the Heritage gang are acting as if they already knew there won't be another election.
Look at the hard facts, they spell "martial law".
Project 2025 is Mein Kampf all over again.
The ways of all that is right and true in life like education and working to get done for constant breathing in life must always stay in safety per se so to speak as much as possible and as best as possible to be quite honest for...
with anyone in life. The true dark arts realm as I like to call it or evil or whatever you wanna call it must never be close to anyone mentally, physically or spiritually in all honesty.
I hate to be cynical, but it's hard to believe they wouldn't lie and private label it, "Made in the USA" . I believe that's illegal, but unfortunately we live in that world now and the FTC is responsible for checking. And the FTC is overseen by the president.
People outside the US don’t hate Americans, and see what is going on because most people outside the US get news from real sources and/or are educated and can think
The vitriol and the actions of consumers are directed at 1 orange buffoon and his army of cruel and despicable white supremacists.
Unfortunately, just like srupidity of brexit, the wafer thin majority obtained through corruption, by vote rigging and manipulation, billed as "the will of the people", means everyone gets tarred with the same brush.
People ask all the time.
Don’t travel internationally much?
It’s usually the 1st or 2nd thing somebody I meet says.
“Where you from?”
Pretty bizarre eh?
When asked abroad, I always answer “I’m from San Francisco.” And so far the uniform response has been for people to say “Ahhh!” and smile nicely at me. We get a pass for being Americans.
I am on holiday talking to some Americans they said, I was going to lie and tell you I am from Canada we are so embarrassed. They said we thought Brits would not notice the accent lol

Please, please don't wear a red hat. It doesn't matter that it says this, most people will just register 'American accent/body language + red baseball hat.'
Don’t worry… we know there are still a lot of sane Americans left. It’s just the orange shitgibbon and his band of merry sycophants that are the laughing stock of the world.
You mean the laughing stock of the world AGAIN (hot mic at the NATO Summit in London in 2019). Trump has always been viewed as a fool and a clown, and by allowing him to become president a second time we can’t avoid the same label. We had the chance to impeach or convict but didn’t. Our bad!
I actually laughed out loud - too funny. We know that all his stuff is made in China. But then again, he might bring in his merchandise through different avenues.
I’m Australian and I hate Trump but I would never lump you all in the same basket. I know that there are millions of normal, intelligent Americans. We do laugh at 🍊 supporters stupidity but cringe and shudder too. I find it very frustrating that 🇺🇸 laws have enabled him to even get where he is.
Elon Musk allowed it. His technology put this bloviated buffoon in the White House. No way he won every swing state. Why supposedly intelligent people suck up to this ignorant assclown is beyond my comprehension.
🙏 so much for this post!
We can’t laugh at them anymore because we are living in their delusional HELL!
The 🇺🇸 legal system is a farce!
I never realized how unequal the Justice System was until we saw the results of the most criminal #NotMyPresident continually delaying/buying his way out of prison
Your media laws are to blame and the poor education system I’m guessing. We have much stricter media laws although they should be stricter imo and Politicians shouldn’t be able to do anything dodgey. It’s insane. Laws should be much stricter.
Definitely, unequal & poor & under-funded public education. So many educators buy their own supplies to supplement their meager, if any teaching aids in cities & rural areas. It’s absolutely pathetic & now they are actively trying to abolish our Department of Education.
Living in Twilight Zone here!
VERY true!!!
You tell a Fox Spews Trump supporter that Fox was fined almost $800 Million for lying & that they really aren’t considered “News” but are actually just “Entertainment” media & they become rabid.
I was just about to say I'm not showing my face outside of America until Trump is finished and gone, and then I remember I have trip to Alaska booked in the fall, with stops in Canada 😱
The reality is that for a hat that retails for $50, its per unit imported price is probably $5, so the tariffs would make the hat $12.25 to land in the US.
Retailers could eat the tariffs and still sell at $50, or keep their profit margin and retail the hat at $62.25, or somewhere in between.
But reverse calculating this meme, for a $27 price hike, accounting for a 145% tariffs and the idea that US retailers would pass on the entirety of the tariffs impacts on consumers, then the Chinese hat used to land in the US for $18.60 per piece, and the retailers' profit margin was $31.40 per hat.
Trump's inclination to take unnecessary risks has caused ongoing damage to the nation & in particular the half of the country who don't own stock. The people who lose a job, foreclosed on or repo'ed.Trump doesn't care.Without a plan, he causes a self inflicted wound to our economy & world standing.

While Tesla vehicles have gained popularity, they generally rank lower for reliability compared to other automakers, with Consumer Reports and J.D. Power studies showing higher repair needs and lower reliability scores.
That’s probably a reasonable estimate. The 125% tariff would be applied to the import price, not the price of the end consumer. The difference reflects the profits pocketed by Trump and gang.
Come on George I thought you knew how to do math, the new price as of today is $122.50. Everybody selling Trump merchandise it's going to get a new customs bill and if you can't afford to pay the bill you're going to have to leave your shit in the container! 🤣🤣🤣

...It would start offloading those Treasury bonds. A signal to the markets that the U.S. dollar’s perch wasn’t so secure.

We literally cannot afford to lose our jobs / become involved with the legal system. It’s a big deterrent.
We are fairly locked in to *peaceable* assembly… although people do light stuff on fire for sports 🤔

(There must be a hat like this that includes all 3 of the stooges: Trump, Musk and Vance.)
So, I guess that would rule out something like this too (presumably also made in China):
Always challenged.
Now……..mentally challenged?
I didn’t…

Hatred
The U.S. collects $143 in tariffs and sends China $43.
It’s a conspiracy.
for a poorly made hat from as Trump sez, "Chyy-NUH"

Add profit $33.50 = selling price $107 plus local taxes.
Retailers could eat the tariffs and still sell at $50, or keep their profit margin and retail the hat at $62.25, or somewhere in between.
