A lot of America, including much of the media, acts like Trump doesn’t mean it, he’s just trolling, it’s a show, and doesn’t really matter anyway, like this is reality TV or an influencer beef, not real.
But Europe, Canada, Mexico, Taiwan, etc. do not. They take it very seriously. And are right to.

i've failed to articulate for weeks now the near universal failure of the us press to truly understand, and crucially express back to the american people, what these events mean to europeans — how for us this may be abstract democracy-signaling (no small fault of the press) but for them existential

We have to figure out how to take down the RW media apparatus—completely.
"Panem et circenses" where the "circus" is watching their own nation unravel under their feet. What an embarrassing end.
"If other countries are so great why do they all come here." As they love to say.
The majority of ppl here have no idea how an actual facist government feels.
People. Are. Dying.
He is doing things. Horrible things. At blitzkrieg level pace.
And every act is eroding America's standing on the world stage.
And on top of that, he's feeding the soverign nation of free Ukraine into the Russian sphere of influence.
If Ukraine is abandoned, Putin will install his own government and media there.
Kazakhstan is nothing like Russia and nothing like Borat.
Their culture is uniquely their own. And incredible place filled with incredible people.
Not registering how devastating it is to be under serious threat and getting a middle finger from a long-time ally.
A free, fair, open landscape for journalism is one pillar of any nation's defense.
The American press enjoying the greatest market share is failing dreadfully.
Trump&Co are going to break the US.
Europe remembers devestated cities, workcamps, and rebuilding their lives.
While the US profited and grew in power.
Now, Trump&Co are throwing away alliances, peace, & security with the mistaken belief that nothing will happen.
No one talks about satellites until something fails. Otherwise the satellites work as intended and people go on about their lives without thinking about them.
The US -mostly- worked. Trump&Co is fucking around with the fundamental system. Finding out will happen.

Without the slow indoctrination, ALL of America, save for only the craziest, would have been freaking out and standing up.
It is precisely this mentality of realistically caricaturing cruelly. People get kicked on the head, but it is scripted. Ha!That's funny!
