Millions of Americans voluntarily bent their knee to one of the worst men on Earth. This will be studied by future generations with both shock and horror. Sadly, we have to live it...or try to survive it.

My Dad didn't talk much about his war w/🇨🇦 army.
I once asked him "HOW did you survive??"
"I was trained. I always tried to do the right thing...and it just wasn't my time."
He was here until he was 96, always trying to do "the right thing", until his "time."
I can do no less with my time.
Drumpy did says thanks to Muskrat because he Rigged the election. He said this at his rally the day before his inauguration. He stole an election and will be held accountable.
Thats what the million dollar question is.
This Will Happen, and it Will rip our troops apart. Some Will refuse, and Some will comply.
This administration will Not hold back and Will gaslight protests in order to deploy national guard and active duty.
There are always Good Germans in every group in every time. Probably more than there are of us. But we will all suffer the consequences alike. The only ones who won’t are the Enemies Of The State, which at least some of the Good Germans,despite their “apolitical nature” will inevitably become.
The voters were defrauded by the elected officials who did not uphold their oath of office to protect and defend the constitution. Time to clean house and vote out anyone not fiercely aligned with and in support of the constitution.
Don't think there aren't plenty of leftists that are happy to see liberals suffer too. They think this was necessary to catalyze the support for their revolution. Personally, I'm not interested in building a future with the cohort that refuses to even try voting in a democracy.
The people I know that voted for Trump, I believe in my heart, will change their tune when they see the truth of what's going on. And I do know after today, so many Harris supports I know, that did not believe there was any danger finally see it..
Hungary and Venezuela both turned into dictatorships and oligarchy within the last 10-20 years. This is unfortunately not all that different a time than 1933.
This is enough. Most of Americans care more about winning more than democracy. Both parties tried their best to erode the institutions and this is the result.
In the same way as millions of Germans voted Hitler into power under the promise he would make their country great again. The fourth reich seems to be rising!
Wajahat, how has the American people forgotten nazi Germany so soon??? Those fucking stupid people sealed our fate and like you say we have to live it and survive it. How many thousands of people won't?
Yes, they are, but I've seen it with my own eyes in Germany. I've never gotten over it. Germany worked very hard to overcome that stigma and say never again.
The Nazis sent lawyers to America to study segregation laws, denying citizenship to natives, etc. to build the Nuremberg laws. They also admired the genocide of natives and forcing them on to reservations. Hitler loved western novels and "crushed savages" themes.
It seems the resilience against fascism lasted about 70-80 years until it faded with time just enough in the western world for fascists to again find fruitful ground within our democracies. And then accelerated by the russian regime`s 25-year long effort to sabotage the west with fascist implotion.
With the passage of time, people have forgotten the kind of carnage fascism can cause on societies. This is why it's now finding fertile ground, because many have forgotten. There's also been an effort to rewrite history, to minimize the horror the Nazis committed.
But to people who have survived the holocaust (sadly most have already passed), they are very fearful about what they are witnessing in the USA. They recognize the signs, the same signs they have witnessed in Germany in the 1930's (leaders targeting ethnic groups for hate in their speeches, etc).
Would enough people listen to them now anyway? Everything is hyper partisan & Trump voters I know wd just brush aside what they had to say. And, Oh, the laughable part where T talks about god stepping in. The whole country is being gaslighted.
Hoping the history books get the correct story, and get it ALL in chronological order, so it CAN be prevented again in another 200 years.
That saying, try, try, try again?
That's IF we ever get democracy back on to this land again.
Social media gave stupidity a level playing field with intellectualism. America was desensitised to lies, ignorance and vile behaviour. It was entertainment.
Or, how about actually trying to fook’n RESIST it. What a bunch of babies. It’s like we we’ve already given up. All I see in here is talk about funerals, posting the same what-a-horrible-guy stuff we’ve been doing 4 years. Time to move forward and stop dwelling in the past. We’re better than that!
Virginia and New Jersey have state wide and local elections this year. Help these candidates. I’ve gotten signatures to get the governor on the ballot, helped with meet and greet since Jan. 1.
Also there's three special elections for the House of representatives in a few months. Two in Florida and one in NY for GOP seats. Would be great to see the Democrats take control of the House at least.
True, but what we need now are leaders who can guide us to constructive ACTION. There is plenty of dissent in this country but it needs to be organized and directed against the fascism.
Not so sure that future generations at least on the US will be allowed to say anything critical about their Dear Leader. Just remember the revisionist history books in Texas and Florida.
We are all martyrs now. America is a martyr now. It died today so some centuries from now a better world will…. Oh right, climate change, never mind, we’re cooked.
I've reached the point where I am outwardly rooting for his policies to negatively and disproportionately affect those who voted for him. This isn't who I want to be as a person but maybe it's the only way they'll ever learn.
1/ One of the lessons from the Holocaust is that the vast majority of the perpetrators were not sadistic monsters. Instead many were “jellyfish”, happy to obey whatever orders were given in order to advance up the career ladder for promotions & higher pay.
2/ Many also committed terrible atrocities in order to ‘fit in’, to belong to the group, to be “a good team player”. When someone refused to participate, they were ostracised & the ones that carried out the genocide resented that they had to murder more to make up for the ones who didn’t.
It happened before and we couldn’t take a hint… because 60% of this country ‘don’t read’.
So… maybe that’s why it wasn’t studied before and sure as hell won’t be studied later because they will be rewriting the history books in their privatized school system.
Assuming we successfully band together and vote and resist our way out of this nightmare, so future generations don't view it as fantastic and amazing.
Idgets be idgets...can't control the idgets. But we will survive (and i do think the manchildren are going to give us a lot of entertainment along the way. Manchildren: you know who you are!)
I highly recommend the book They Thought They Were Free: The Germans 1933-45. The author conducted interviewed with everyday Germans in 1955 about how they justified Nazi crimes in their own minds during the war. Chilling stuff, and very relevant to the coming years in the US.
A hundred years after the rise of national socialism turning fascism.... Here we go again. Didn't humanity never learn? Agreed that it is a historic time.
Sadly, no. It will just be another example of how an empire fell because people are more worried about punishing those. They hate in their own self interest.
Only 64% of eligible voters bothered to vote at all.
Only 31% of all eligible voters voted for t****.
I also don't want to hear sh*t from the 89,278,948 non-voters who said, "My one vote won't make a difference."
Wonder how many of those non voters actually voted but their votes disappeared or weren't counted 🤷🏽♀️ And voter suppression such as bomb threats and intimidation at polling places by magats in the swing states were reported even during early voting. Ballot drop boxes were burned too.
I disagree that the former president is one of the worst men on Earth. His actions, though flawed, were chosen by a majority of Americans at the ballot box, not through coercion.
I am not sure we can survive it. mass Arests will start soon. Just carefully watch out for them building the concentration camps. I think people of color and everyone who has accent will go in first. Next they will start the internal cleanses.
Nicely asked MAGA acct on Twitter why Jumbotron's were removed from OUTSIDE the Capitol building. Replies: Trump in danger ( wasn't outside) , MAGA in danger, Intel told Trump not safe. Snipers. Globuchar did it. Asked why MAGA not included indoors No replies. Stupid people obviously out number us.
Speaking from Australia some 10,359.67 miles from Washington all I can say is WHY? How has America got to this point? It's going to be a cruel 4 years for you all.
Oh for sure but my point is that no ones going to suffer more than the USA population. The repercussions will be felt worldwide but more so by the uneducated, low information. MAGA Supporters. The day the penny drops and they realised they been conned will be sweet.
I remember in college being asked the hypothetical question if you could go back in time and stop Hitler would you? At the time I was like absolutely, yet here we are on the cusp
Oh for fucks sake. STOP ASSUMING THAT TIME BENDS INTRINSICALLY TOWARD JUSTICE!
History is written by whoever owns the day. Generations of students may learn to celebrate Trump for saving the nation from gay pet eating "illegals." This Pollyanna approach to future historians makes it seem passive.
People mostly survive, although they never forget 🤷🏼♀️ a couple bought a French house & found a stash of rifles in a closed off attic, thought the previous owners were resistance fighters & wanted to name house after them. Mon dieu NON! Said neighbours. The previous were fascist Nazis 🤷🏼♀️
It would be great to have a feed on bsky that focused on actual/factual changes made by this administration vs. all the posturing and threats. They want to overload us with shocks to blur reality. It will be hard to remember what's real vs. Implicit. They want us scared and obedient.
Historians will have a hell of a time explaining this period. The level of stupidity exhibited by much of the people who voted back in November will never be understood 200 years from now.
Living through this feels like being stuck in a history book that future generations will study with disbelief—like watching a slow-motion train wreck while trying to rebuild the tracks in real time. It’s exhausting, but history moves because people refuse to stop pushing. We just have to keep going
Voter suppression and racial gerrymandering did prevent many from voting. Some didn't vote because of the fear that came when police visited those who signed on for ballot iniatives. Many strategies were used to intimidate voters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_XdtAQXnGE&t=99s
That’s right. We don’t hear enough about this. Add it to people too discouraged over Gaza and those who just don’t care-until it’s too late and that is a lot of votes. I believe intimidation will be worse-like the Black Shirts here in the 30’s.
Why did people think the trumpers will suddenly go oh we were wrong and shift position? They won’t, they hate for a living and will not change. This is our new future.
I only dread future generations having to study for all of this in school. Trump alone is going to give them enough material to work with from early grade school to graduating high school. They're gonna be sick of it.
We have a past to study to inform us now. Also, any study that is only on Trump will be flawed. What Trump is and can do, wouldn't be possible without his supporters. Can't study Hitler without asking what of the German society made so many of them such good Nazis.
Welp we are out of the world health org and the climate change agreements, so it’s likely many of us will not survive it, especially when he pulls us out of NATO next.
I think it was a Turkish proverb ... "The forest was shrinking, but the trees were approving of the axe because it was made of wood & thought it was one of them!" 😮
The road to fascism is lined with folks telling you to stop over-reacting. 💔
I’m not sure. This might be the beginning of the end for humanity. We’re fucking killing our selves and the fucking magats are cheering every fucking time we inch closer to total annihilation of humanity.
From a psychological perspective, completely predictable as the desperate need to belong drove many.
Some explanation for their misery.
And it's going to harm them the most.
I sit reflecting on the fact that the budget cuts will harm the less tech-focused areas (REDS areas) will suffer the most.
Get your medical care now, because I predict more than 50% rural hospitals will close in the next 2 years.
...and chronicle it, record it, for future generations -- so they have an accurate history to look back on (and hopefully not repeat). These are horrific, important times.
CONDEMNED. Kochs started dumbing down not brilliant Americans decades ago by defunding publics, siphoning off pub tax $$ to KKKristian Charters - they wear red hats and all know: MAGA is code for - MAWA, Makes Am White Again. Red MAGA hats are a unifying horse whistle for white supremacist BIGOTS

Trumps going to cause the problem on purpose
That saying, try, try, try again?
That's IF we ever get democracy back on to this land again.
Break the chains!
White Supremacy
"It happened TWICE?!"
WHO?
CBS Inauguration
NBC Traitors followed by Traitors
ABC Inauguration

Wait for it.
When TAF is AMerica going to learn from history?
Complete utter delusion
That said:
https://youtu.be/8rkdYSRoqRM?feature=shared
When we speak of Germany and Nazis and the past, we tend to lump all Germans in.
We don’t say”the bad Germans who voted for Hitler”.
We say the “fuckin German nazi bastards”
You are becoming ALL MAGAS to us………
History will not be kind to the bystanders.
Right on!

It’s white populism
And white people are still the majority of the country
Just the non-white and educated whites thought that the idea of America as a melting point was stronger than white supremacy
Trump instinctively knew this was wrong and build his campaign around it
But some number of very badly informed non-whites did vote for trump. It just wasn’t a majority
- It was the end of the experiment Franklin called democracy or
- A re-born US grew out of Trump's ashes to become a country of honor and truth.
Maybe that’s why Obama was yucking it up with Trump - because that’s what you do with someone you think is Hitler. 🙄
You people need a trip to the day spa and a Valium. Your alarmist, unhinged responses are affecting your health.
There are no protections for anyone anymore.
Everyone is on their own and have their own ways of surviving the likely collapse of democracy.
I left the country after his first shit show. Reelecting him is a world-class epic fail.
History is written by whoever owns the day. Generations of students may learn to celebrate Trump for saving the nation from gay pet eating "illegals." This Pollyanna approach to future historians makes it seem passive.
Trump wants to be the big subject everyone talks about.
Maybe we can just rename him and never mention the Trump name?
