We’re freaked out to friend. Dark times.

77tonyg.bsky.social•38 days ago

I know and I empathise. It's harder for you than I until Trump comes for our sovereignty, destroys our economy and hands our resourses to Elon Darth Vader. Yet, Rebublicans play without rules and now this insanity is off the charts in uncharted waters. The darkest parts of history are repeating.

crazycrab50.bsky.social•38 days ago

Patrick. There are plenty of down here that stand against this and our deeply disgraced by this.

It is hard to stomach. I’m sorry this is causing you and Canadians distress.

I’m not sure I’ve ever felt worse about our country.

77tonyg.bsky.social•38 days ago

Dear Hoping for The Best. My apologies for provoking such difficult feelings to surface. Know that to all good people of America who believe in decency, kindness and freedom for all, that I fully am with you. You can never fight fair with a fascist and his minions. We are in for a battle. Cheers. ✌️

crazycrab50.bsky.social•38 days ago

Patrick. You certainly do not need to apologize to me for what this Imperialist Clown triggers. I stand with you. I appreciate Canada.

We’ll get through this with kindness & respect.

77tonyg.bsky.social•38 days ago

We do, but for me when push comes to shove with our cherished freedoms certainly I even as an old guy need to fight back. Cheers to you!

‪‪From @womensartbluesky.bsky.social Women at war, Spanish Civil War, 1936-39 by photographer Gerda Taro who was later killed in the conflict #womensart I pray it never comes to this, but this is what it means to fight for freedom against fascists as the immensely brave Ukranians are doing now.

dfrogmike.bsky.social•38 days ago

From here in Texas, I feel as you do. I'm pissed knowing we may have to go to literal war to get our country back. No, this is not who we are. This BS is what the enemy from within has made us into.

77tonyg.bsky.social•38 days ago

Absolutely agreed and with you from Canada. Honestly can't imagine how you are feeling, but millions of Canadians are with you. The submission of Republicans is dangerous. Take good care and stay strong. It's going to be a very bumpy road. I'm just dumbfounded by the lunicy and speed of it all.

dfrogmike.bsky.social•38 days ago

I'm not surprised, not really.

They told us who they are with #Project2025
The problem is, too many thought we had leaders in position to stop what's happening.

suemaryk.bsky.social•38 days ago

Are you willing to help us?

77tonyg.bsky.social•38 days ago

Of course. Isn't that obvious. We have stood up to America's fascist. We threatened retaliation and are prepared to suffer the consequences. We love our country, our values, what we stand for as a nation and will NEVER go down without a fight. I hope we can prove to be as courageous as Ukrainians.

jtq3.bsky.social•38 days ago

Democrats need an actual plan. It’s obvious Musk wants to end regulation so he can build self driving cars and robots without hindrance. Of course, AI / robotics & automation will end the middle class unless humanitarian guidance is used.

Target Musk show his robot presentation build a plan.

therealvibe.bsky.social•38 days ago

I didn't vote for this administration. I'm appalled and disappointed in my fellow citizens. Scary times here in the US.

77tonyg.bsky.social•38 days ago

I know you didn't as did millions of other Americans who believe in decency. I stand with you. My post expressed a level of exasperation at watching American descend into madness to the point that your country is threatening our sovereignty and my great hope that Americans will fight this scourge. ✌️

therealvibe.bsky.social•38 days ago

No worries. Honestly, we may join you. It's a short trip to Canada from West Michigan!

77tonyg.bsky.social•38 days ago

😂 I mean how much can we take. I love your profile pic."This was not my dream." It certainly wasn't. I fear the goodness of those who believe in Dr King's message are vulnerable to being crushed by fascists. I'm more inclined to Malcolm X pre Mecca, but loved him more when he came home. Cheers.

phatosas.bsky.social•38 days ago

We have become one of those countries that descended into fascism and you wondered from afar, how did it happen without resistance? What I am learning from this experience is the media, corporate America, greedy billionaires, religious fanatics and members of the MAGA cult enabled it.

77tonyg.bsky.social•38 days ago

Absolutely. It is in all good minded and progressive people to believe in logic and the inherent goodness of our fellow human beings, but I don't believe it is our human nature. History proves this. Who could have ever imagined the cult of Trump and that millions would be devoted to him. ✌️

directhitdoggo.bsky.social•38 days ago

Yeah, as a American, I am ashamed and astonished that more than half of the country had voted for a fucking dictator.

77tonyg.bsky.social•38 days ago

Hang in there. A great battle is coming from within and outside your boarders. The world is astonished. As you well know dictators do not follow the law. We may have to do whatever it takes to keep our freedoms because submitting will have the fascists boot placed firmly on our necks. Cheers.

treebeemo.bsky.social•38 days ago

It’s a global billionaire coup, cease thinking politically or nationally, its CLASS warfare and YES the billionaires are coming for Canada. Billionaires do not have national or political loyalty-they use YOUR national and political loyalties against you.

77tonyg.bsky.social•38 days ago

Truer words never spoken. Love your energy! take care, be strong and try to stay bright. An old guy from Canada. 👍✌️

treebeemo.bsky.social•38 days ago

Thank you! Please watch this video, it was the missing puzzle piece for me, to understand the utter chaos of late:

Thank you Tree Marie!

treebeemo.bsky.social•38 days ago

You’re welcome! ☺️

77tonyg.bsky.social•38 days ago

Thank you for a very compelling video. I'm 67 Tree Marie and I believe in a real life way that the Matrix is real; designed by the "broligarchy" and vampire capitalist intrests. Bucklre up!

kitten13.bsky.social•38 days ago

We have been calling congress, protesting, and suing.

77tonyg.bsky.social•38 days ago

I know; I appreciate that, but I do not believe it works with this regime. There are millions of good, warm and generous Americans and I imagine it is much harder for you to process than myself, but seriously listening to the thug, gangster wannabe dictator... the gloves must come off. Cheers.

dizzygirl.bsky.social•38 days ago

What should we do? Get violent and slaughtered by our own military?

77tonyg.bsky.social•38 days ago

I hope that it doesn't come to that, but all bets are off. The Ukranians are paying the ultimate sacrifice for their freedom and dying in the hundreds of thousands so they won't have Putin's boot on their necks. I fear that the darkest parts of history are repeating at breathtaking speed. Cheers.

directhitdoggo.bsky.social•38 days ago

Frankly if it weren't for those who I'd leave behind, since I'm sure trump won't leave office in 2029, I'd rather to get violent, either that or kill myself. World war 3 is definitely going to happen sooner or later, I'm just wondering if it will happen before or after our second civil war starts.

phatosas.bsky.social•38 days ago

We are trying to fight fascism with the system of democracy and the courts and I don’t think it is sufficient. We need a majority of the country to stand up but I sense that not enough people are on our side or even politically engaged. I fear it is over.

77tonyg.bsky.social•38 days ago

I understand your fears and hope that when push comes to shove there will be a response. You're right. Being nice doesn't cut it. This white, fascist, supremacist regime doesn't believe in law and order, only in maintaining its privilege. I don't believe there is any botton to this scourge. Cheers.

phatosas.bsky.social•38 days ago

The problem is the way to solve the problem is patriotic Republicans in congress join with democrats to impeach him. I don’t think there is one patriotic republican in congress. The other option is protest, I can see him invoking martial law once the protest start.

77tonyg.bsky.social•38 days ago

Yup, but that would then begin the fight for freedom or submission and the world would see if the American military believes in the constitution or the dangerous imbecile in the White House.

kitten13.bsky.social•38 days ago

I’m upset about what this administration is doing. Dismantling our government is a nightmare for many Americans. The problem is that if we get violent, then marshal law will happen.

77tonyg.bsky.social•38 days ago

I fear there is no bottom to this. If the bully doesn't get his nose bloodied in the playground he will run roughshod over everything we hold dear to our hearts. History is repeating. If this is not nipped in the bud all bets are off. Peace to you and yours.

grizzers.bsky.social•38 days ago

It’s wild because this is also the apparent direction from leadership — be patient and stand firm. Divide and conquer. I’ve seen speculation that if protests turn violent at all, we are giving them ammo to declare martial law. I don’t have a clear opinion on that yet but interesting to consider.

phatosas.bsky.social•38 days ago

Martial law is coming. There is no way to avoid protest, it’s almost like they are lighting the fire for that protest and where this is going is inevitable.

77tonyg.bsky.social•38 days ago

You certainly may well be right. Stay strong from a Canadian friend.

grizzers.bsky.social•38 days ago

Bleak. But they are not Thanos. And this isn’t a movie.

We vastly outnumber them, which is why part 1 of the plan relies on apathy, terror, and paralysis. They are counting on our inaction. Throw a wrench in their plans — bring a friend! 👊🏽

lordpet.bsky.social•38 days ago

They will find an excuse no matter what

grizzers.bsky.social•38 days ago

They will. But it’s up to us to slow them down. We won’t just sit and watch while they break everything we have built.

mandielynns.bsky.social•38 days ago

A nationwide walk out. Shut it all down. Not some 1 day next week don't buy gas bs...a full on walk out if it takes a week or 2 so be it.

hawkster3208.bsky.social•38 days ago

she is talking about the dems in Congress not the people that not in congress. The dems in congress are afraid to go after Trump because of the Trump supporters would start a Civil war remember they were screaming about it saying if Trump not President or goes to jail we start a CIVIL WAR

jadedfortunato.bsky.social•38 days ago

I don’t think that’s quite it.

I think Democrats in congress, with a few exceptions, are worried about donors for re-election, rather than if there will be more elections.

Also Trump supporters are weirdly certain they are they only people who can fight.

shandieffenbacher.bsky.social•38 days ago

We are trying :( hard. Congressional Republicans could stop this insanity at any time. After our country is decimated, history will show that they were the real reason for the destruction. (Not that it will matter at that point.)

77tonyg.bsky.social•38 days ago

I have provoked such a response that I realize isn't very productive. If I were am American my anxiety would be off the charts. As a Canadian, sadly America is a threat to our sovereignty and freedom. Millions of American women have lost rights over their own bodies. The gloves must come off.

cookievargas.bsky.social•38 days ago

I'm sure the election was hacked and stolen by musk (though there are still WAY too many racist idiots, not to excuse them). To see how easily his monkeys hacked into much more complex systems, it would be beyond naive to think he didn't

stefansteve.bsky.social•38 days ago

It isn't what we are, but it is what many wanted, I envy Canada right now

77tonyg.bsky.social•38 days ago

Truth is we in Canada will always be on the losing end of a free range fascist in your cherished White House. We're too small to survive an economic attack on our country. We value our social safety net which allows me, a senior to live in dignity. Our sovereignty is under threat. We need help. ✌️

arktoi.bsky.social•38 days ago

You have to stop yelling at those of us who voted for Kamala. Really. No it isnt all of us. It appears to be 49% of the people who got off their asses and voted.

77tonyg.bsky.social•38 days ago

My indignation can get the best of me. Perhaps I'm trying to provoke a response. Sorry. I travelled to Chapel Hill, NC and went canvasing for Kamala. Never have I seen such driven and good people in my life. The effort was amazing. You can't play fair with fascist, supremacists. I'm with you.

arktoi.bsky.social•38 days ago

I understand. The same happens to me, more often than I prefer. Thank you so much for good heart and good will and all the effort you put into helping Kamala and the nation move toward a more caring choice. What’s happening now is so distressing it is difficult to not be enraged 🙌🏾

leslie64.bsky.social•38 days ago

Imagine what’s it like to be an American and watching this happen to our country.

77tonyg.bsky.social•38 days ago

Sorry, I'm just really angry. It gets the better of me, but Democrates and good minded people can't play by rules like law and order if this goes beyond what it is now. America's government purging all the checks and balances os a healthy democracy and calling for ethnic cleansing and owning Gaza?

leslie64.bsky.social•38 days ago

I agree completely. It’s horrifying. Right now we are stunned and unsure of the path forward. I keep hoping there will be 5 republicans in the House and 4 in the Senate that will put country over party and rise above their cowardice. I still can’t believe this POS was elected again.

77tonyg.bsky.social•38 days ago

I feel greatly for you and can imagine if my country was decending into the depths of darkness I would be totally freaked out. There are so many good hearted Americans, but like them I believed that by being resonable, compromising and playing fair that all would be hunky dory. That path is history.

jayjay185.bsky.social•38 days ago

This coup has been planned for a long time. It didn't happen overnight. This is an active dismantling of government in real time and consolidation of power and wealth. I think Democrats already know it's over. The media and Dems are just putting up a fight as to not cause mass hysteria.

77tonyg.bsky.social•38 days ago

It isn't much of a fight. Legacy media capitulating before the "dear leader." Brolagarchs submitting and kissing the ring, a tepid and wholly underwhelming response by Democratic leaders doesn't give me faith. Fascist supremisists do not believe in law and order. The gloves must come off yesterday.

kjives.bsky.social•38 days ago

I believe the majority of Americans are wondering the same thing. We are not all like MAGA! I 100% do not like what is happening and I’m waiting for congress to come to their senses and do something.

phatosas.bsky.social•38 days ago

Unfortunately I don’t believe that. There is a good chunk of the country that are MAGA and the rest that voted for him still see this as Trump being Trump. They have deluded themselves that somehow it will all work out.

petiteouiseau.bsky.social•38 days ago

Pushback is starting to happen. I was a legal assistant, and it takes a lot of work and a lot of documentation to prepare a case, and it has to be done with all the t's crossed and the i's dotted in the freezing correct so that it doesn't get thrown out right away.

77tonyg.bsky.social•38 days ago

I hope your faith in the law holds true. I fear it does not. When you have a corrupt and compromised Supreme Court all bets are off. Trumpian supremacists do not believe in law and order. The tepid response by Democratic leaders is woefully underwhelming. The darkest parts of history are repeating.

petiteouiseau.bsky.social•38 days ago

I didn't express faith, I replied that there had been pushback and why it took a while to materialize.

77tonyg.bsky.social•38 days ago

I apologize in my clumsiness. I was expressing my lack of faith in the American judicial system which from my vantage point has failed the American people. Best wishes to you.

petiteouiseau.bsky.social•31 days ago

No apology needed. I agree with you overall. I have grave concerns for my grandchildren and their future. The top level of our justice department created this mess. But lower levels still have good judges that may buy some time and set a higher bar/example. But that wheel is so 🐌. Unfortunately.
