As an American living in hades... *help!* What our government is doing is maddening! The people of Palestine, the poor, the sick who need USAID... too much to name off. I am so physically sick with all this!

I never imagined my country would vote in a facist dictator. I am appalled!

America is a messy bitch. Flawed as hell and built on the stuff of nightmares.

But over my lifetime, we’ve at least kept trying to do a little better. Sometimes it’s one step forwards, two steps back, but overall it’s been in the right direction.

Until now. And to watch these two monsters destroy everything and alienate all of our allies - just because they can - while the rest of the Republicans cheer them on - it’s devastating.

Despise it all you like. I no longer consider our federal government to be legitimate. It will soon become a bona fide dictatorship.

I would maintain that the United States has been the most dangerous country on the planet for *quite some time*. The U.S. has only been at peace for about 20-21 years (!) of its existence, depending on how "peace" is defined. This is not the curriculum vitae of a good neighbor.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for all you do for us.

You actually are part of the resistance in the US. By hosting an anti-fascist server on the Fedi you are allowing people like me to spread notices of protests here which would be suppressed on billionaire platforms. And my primary reason for having the account is another reason I can't use billionaire social media- my book isn't oligarchy friendly.

Thank you from all of us fighting in the US!

for me, it's the final point in a long history of fascism in America.

I grew up in places like Cambodia, so I saw first hand what American foreign policy does. It's always been a facade of "we're the good guys", but I still think about the people I met as a kid who suffered under Pol Pot, all so America could get an advantage in a war they'd never win

You should see it from this angle. All our national values abandoned. National treasures and invaluable assets either destroyed outright or run by the dumbest people in the country. The institutions we expect to protect us knuckling under.

It’s as if France decided to plow up all its vineyards to put up Bud Light factories.

(Worst part: We can’t simply vote these scumbags out. They won’t leave without bloodshed.)

All Athlanticists (which I believe you are describing) have had a bit of a reckoning. I wouldn't beat yourself up. Cooperation with the US has brought an incredible amount of prosperity and we learned a lot from them.

Time to learn from them again and move on. If and when they are ready they can rejoin us.

I'm American, and I don't even want the best for Americans.

Let's not forget that the Dems weren't even committing a genocide the first time Americans elected Trump. The policies you're seeing now are apparently what the American people have wanted for a long time.
