People are just so wildly uninformed - they have no idea wtf is going on in the real world. And when you have social/alt media feeding them conspiracy theories, it is recipe for disaster. Anywho, I don't even know where I am going with this. I am mostly shouting into the void. Thanks for listening.💜 - ThreadSky

People are stupid. You said this much more eloquently than I could.

And being uninformed makes them highly susceptible to "I promise to make those people you don't like feel really bad."

Uninformed or misinformed?

My neighbors, newly here from Canada, get most of their news from podcasts and social media, adore Musk, and are excited Trump supporters. Also, are brown and working under a sketchy set of visas. 🤨

Because right-wing populism is happening in many countries, it will be hard to fight.

Thanks for writing this Alex. I think it's an incredibly accurate and nuanced summary of the state of affairs. As a Canadian I can only imagine how soul-destroying this outcome is for Americans that care what's "right", let alone the poor people living there who will now suffer 😭

I feel like I weigh a 1000 lbs right now.🫂 I not certain how to re group from this. 2016 I was blind sided. This feels like a betrayal a big slap in the face and apathy. How do yo make people care, if not for themselves but at least for others.😒

🫂 i feel all of this. I’m terrified and i agree with all the things you’ve written so far. I feel as helpless as my friends in the US.

Firstly, I'm sorry for the good Americans who will suffer the consequences, especially those who live in reality, and not in a parallel world or conspiracy networks.

Sending very scared condolences, it’s hard to understand & unnerving what will follow for all of the rest of the world too. I may well have dropped off the twig before his term is over, (if he even allows it to be)but my poor descendants: dear friends in the US; the environment; the wars;the havoc!
