A swing and a miss... I've lived in California my whole life and I've never seen one of these before. Oh shit, that's why they want to buy us...
Still 100% on board, Denmark. Make us great again! We're all fucking tired of Trump. Fifth largest GDP can be all yours with our arms open. Trump can't say that shit about Greenland.
I know some rich assholes here in the states... Put a 1000% tarrif on everyone visiting from the US. Nobody working class can afford it right now anyway.
It's really not a false equivalency. Fascists and people on the wrong side of history very famously and frequently equate governments with the entire people they govern.
The stock market is booming. Every working person in America is suffering to some degree right now... some are being forced out of their homes, and others closer to the top (but still a million miles from the true wealthy people) are holding off on new purchases.
In short, they control the markets completely. They have nothing to fear because this is only harming those of us on the bottom of society (numerous though we may be).
I'm sorry, but where does the responsibility actually end for you? Let's discuss this and fully lay things out...
Are American prisoners on your list of people responsible? Would you capture our children like ICE frequently does and hold them to a trial if you could? What about the adults that voted against this regime three times, who work multiple, grueling jobs to support their families and though struggling, just barely keeping food on the table, and the medical debt to a tolerable level?
Would you blame the immigrants picking fruit in the fields, and constructing houses, all while avoiding being disappeared by the ICE gestapo? What about those Americans that have been deported - are they to blame? How about Renee Good - did she deserve what she got because she was American? MAGA certainly thinks so.
At what point, exactly, does your twisted and cruel logic start to bare moral fruit? Or are you, perhaps, just another person angry at the same people we (the sane Americans) are? Perhaps... just perhaps, we should all focus our energy on them, rather than infighting. If Trump could read this thread, he would be elated at comments like yours. He'd start new narratives about how even the left should hate our allies in and friends in Europe because they paint us all with the same brush.
A divided enemy is a weak enemy. Your argument here is fraught with fear - it's a lashing out at everything and anything because the real enemy is far from reach. Welcome to how every sane American has felt for years now. If you read all of this, then now you might understand us a little, tiny bit better. I hope you find your way, my friend.
Together we can end this - all of this, not just what's happening in America. The billionaires must come down, and the people must find their voice. But to do this, we must first agree to not fight one another, and to focus on the people who truly are destroying this Earth.
I agree 100%. Our government has failed to uphold the standards desired by the people. The Democrats are weak and cowardly, and the Republicans are patently insane.
This said, the grand majority of the American people are against this. 75% as of the last poll I saw.
I have a family member that's never said a single negative word against Trump in over a decade... Earlier this week they wrote to their representative to tell them they oppose action against Greenland, and told me they think Trump is crazy. I've not been that taken aback in years... A full MAGA nut-job turning on Trump.
As for Europe, they should absolutely not trust the United States anytime soon. This country is in open turmoil, and the government emphatically no longer reflects the will of the people.
Maybe some day a relationship can be salvaged, but this is absolutely a sign for Europe to find independence from our fascist leadership.
What an obtuse way to see the situation in the United States. As if you're using logic derived exclusively from Hollywood movies.
You're either very ignorant about how things work here, or you're deliberately trying to encite anger amongst people who should be allied and united against evil.
Either way, I hope you do better in the future. We are all better than diatribe like this.
Some people are so nationalistic that they cannot fathom the concept of some of us not wanting to die for a country we were born into.
Ironic in this situation, but not when you realize these people are either sewing or repeating propaganda designed to divide those of us that oppose what Trump, Putin and other fascists are attempting to accomplish.
Are your fucking kidding me? We are all passive? Go tell that to Renee Good's wife and kids. Go tell it to the guy that lost an eye to ICE last week.
Wake the fuck up. And stop fighting Trump and Putin's battles for them. You're no better than my MAGA family members with rhetoric like this being shared here on Lemmy.
Man, they really did home in like a laser on the two worst pc brands in the world. I'm genuinely impressed...
