You may be right… I just wish I could be as optimistic as you are. The political opposition to Trump’s changes is very, very weak, and with all the money ICE has now, I’m afraid any popular movement will be swiftly repressed.
Let’s hope US citizens are as resilient as they believe they are.
There are many counterexamples to the third reich. China and Russia have been police states for a long time, with no end in sight.
I think his top priority was to avoid confrontation. He has experience with dumb politicians from his time at the bank of England.
Carney had to use a word Trump understands.
But remember folks, calling this a genocide is antisemitic.
There is nothing, nothing in the US news cycle from the last 2 months that don’t point to a totalitarian regime slowly infiltrating every aspect of civil society.
You guys need to fight back harder. Bullies are cowards, they will backpedal if they feel resistance. Harvard understood this.
Never underestimate the destruction that stupid people in position of power can do.
Granted, but I was just pointing out that the act of burning teslas isn’t something that people do to “destroy cars so that Elon gets less money”. Mussolini wasn’t hanged upside down because his heels were stronger than his neck.
The goal is not to destroy cars, it is to destroy what it represents.
France is not like the US. There’s no such thing as a party line and party leaders do not have as much influence on members as is the case in the US.
You could have replied with Charles de Gaulle’s Wikipedia page and it wouldn’t have been less relevant.
(Btw this means you don’t know what you are talking about)
In the future, please try to verify if what you’re saying is true before you post. It make you look like a troll.
Possible, they don’t seem to be sorted by either time, replies or likes.
Your comment had me go to YouTube to check, and almost all the top 30 comments were pro Zelensky.
the 30% who said they still consider the US an ally obviously don’t read the news Or they do, and they like what they see. I’m sure there are a few Canadians who would be fine with being the 51st state.
In 2024, “not a step backwards” = good news.
There’s nothing that says victims can’t become aggressors. This is true for individuals as well as large groups of people, including nation-states. A child who was abused can become an abusive parent. A religious group that was persecuted for years can become an oppressor. Jews were victims of a genocide a few years ago, and were persecuted for years and years before in Europe, but Israel is not a victim anymore and the rest of the world should tell it to stop acting like one because they are the one commiting genocide.
He’s just an entitled, stupid, obnoxious rich white man like there are hundreds of thousands in America. He’s treating the presidency like a tv show and the country like something he owns. He sees his power as a way to get richer, so he’ll bully other countries if they have something he wants. Strategy and geopolitics don’t mean anything to him.
Exactly. In any semi-functional democracy the government isn’t some abstract entity you have no power over, and it’s not monolithic either (you have municipal, regional and national levels). You vote for the people in it and they represent you.
Oh come on. You really think rich people and the police protecting them would let a millionnaire killer run free?
They need a scapegoat, but what they need more is the certainty that the shooter won’t do more damage.
