I went to a German school. We were taught the darkest chapter of our parents and grandparents' history so we wouldn’t forget. I still can’t understand why people in the US didn't see this coming since 2016. It was so obvious. I dread what is coming. - ThreadSky

Ohh.. many of us saw it. Called it out repeatedly. It's just that many Americans either want it, or are to stupid, apathetic, or lazy to do anything about it.

Your education system needs a revamp. History can't be forgotten.

daisa.me•37 days ago

I think you meant to say 'should not be'. It cleary can be, and many people actively work to ensure that it is forgotten. 😒

Plenty of them see it as a positive, that's the messed up reality

It’s a big reality show to them. Too many real life people are going to suffer. In the end, even they won’t be spared.

nathangarrideb.bsky.social•44 days ago

yep its crazy 😔

We have also had this darkness in America. We just were able to hide it from ourselves and the world. Trump pulled back the veneer of America to show the infection of hate that threatens to undo our nation.

Repugnantcans have been working at destroying the American education system for decades to ensure they didn’t see it coming. History is like a foreign language to many.

It's not obvious to ppl whose culture tells them they are so independent and individualistic that they can't be fooled by propagandists.

liviohenrik.bsky.social•43 days ago

Yes indeed. The time to stop this was in 2016. 2024 was a desperate chance to save the democracy for four more years but it was just a desperate chance.

Now we're lost. Utterly.

As we say here, "no hay mal que dure 100 años" (there is no evil that lasts 100 years). Autocracies aren't eternal unless we let them.

We saw it. The ones who realized the horror voted for Harris…. The ones who didn’t believe the reality didn’t vote.
THE ONES WHO VOTED FOR TRUMP WANT WANT WANT THAT REALITY!

No truer words were ever spoken.

It’s a syndrome comparable to frogs languishing in water that only becomes hotter and hotter by increments. I share your caution, but I am optimistic that this particular pan of boiling water will simply evaporate.

robinindfw.bsky.social•43 days ago

I admire your optimism. Its refreshing.

alexskeith.bsky.social•43 days ago

It can’t rain all the time.

I hope so. As my mom loves to say “Nothing is eaten as hot as it is cooked.”

kikihoneydip.bsky.social•43 days ago

Our parents teach us about native genocide, slavery, and the Holocaust but it hurts Republicans feelings bc it makes white people look like monsters so they all decided to try and take those parts out…. So they could start some fresh new atrocities

Because education is NOT a priority in MANY states in America

bluewarrior64.bsky.social•44 days ago

As an older American, I am terrified about the days ahead. Keep us in your thoughts.

catandraven.com•44 days ago

As a Mexican, I am too.

1/2 of us did but the other half were brainwashed by the antichrist

mamasass.bsky.social•44 days ago

More than half of us saw what was coming, but too many didn’t vote for selfish or short-sighted reasons. Now we all have to endure what’s coming. I hope we make it to the midterms, let alone the next 4 years.

They(MAGA) saw it coming.....they ran to meet it.

Sad.

boblv.bsky.social•43 days ago

This was no accident. The people who voted for him want a white christian fascist regime. The media bros changed the algorithm to create fear and apathy. Youth and Dems did not show up.

My only hope is that the administration is just doing this to make themselves richer. As horrible as that is.

shurta.bsky.social•44 days ago

I learned about that chapter at religious school. Went to see Auschwitz as a teen too. I saw it coming. We thought we taught this in public school too, but obviously, the lessons weren’t learned.

alexbrangwin.bsky.social•44 days ago

America thought it never could happen, which allowed it to happen and pretend it was everything but.
