I was unbelievably furious yesterday, and in some ways I still am, but I just want you to know that I have no ill will or hatred toward all the people of America who never wanted any of this and are essentially stuck in a hostage situation in their own country.

For all of you guys' sake I do hope that America does eventually land on its feet, but I also hope that it will never recover to what it once was because America needs a serious wake up call and must start treating other nations and peoples with some respect instead of acting like they own everything and that all of us must bow to their will and sensibilities.

I would like to see, in my lifetime, Americans be prioritized by their government. Some kind of welfare system in place so that Healthcare and education is a right and not a privilege that can bankrupt a normal everyday American. The wealth distribution is comically unfair and I have called America a social third world country for decades. I would like to see a shift in priorities and a geopolitical humbling.

The latter is what I was referring to in my initial, very pissed off comment. And I mean it. I will look forward to seeing this country deal with the consequences of having trump in office. Allyship will not go back to normal where America calls all the shots. Hopefully your future leaders will put laws in place that will prevent something like this from happening again and they will take human rights and freedom more seriously moving forward. No more ICE raids. Fucking ridiculous.

All these changes, I believe will happen, some super slowly and over many many years so we won't immediately feel the changes, but if America wants to remain a country with good values, this must happen. Their friendship with Europe will not go back to what it was and if it were up to me, we would distance ourselves significantly from America and hit them where it hurts, by simply stop buying American weapons and tech etc. and stop supply chains to both. My country apparently supplies America with components to build attack planes. Maybe we should find other buyers in the future. Maybe other European countries should do the same. I trust that our leaders are making plans that are being set in motion and the changses have already begun even if the effects aren't as immediate as one may like.

On a micro scale, I avoid using American products as much as possible. It is impossible in my job to avoid it because most of our gear and software is American, so I'm kinda fucked there, but in private I have taken several steps to avoid buying American anything. All the way down to something as silly as raisins.

There needs to be a cultural shift in America where making profit isn't the holy grail, but investment in people becomes a virtue.

That is what I want for America. And my pettiest side wants for those who voted for him to carry the shame of contributing to all this idiotic shit. I know some of them will always believe this was right, but a good number of his voters have since woken up to what they voted for and my petty ass want them to feel the shame for a very long time.

I hope there is a brighter future for you after all this stupidity is over. You deserve better.
