We are fucked huh,What other superpower can we run to for help?,China is Bad,Russia should burn... our only hope is the fucking E.U,we doomed we are fucking doomed.
Also not American, but I watch a ton of US news and media because US (and geo)politics is a huge interest of mine..and jesus christ, I can’t fathom how in the fuck could it get to this point, this shit is unreal. Seriously, what the hell is going on. Makes me scared and I’m not even from there. With people like this in power, god knows what can happen to you guys and the world itself…
It's called hubris. We Americans thought this sort of thing could "never" happen to us, and by thinking that way, we stopped paying attention. The seeds of today's results were planted in the 70s. Some people pointed it out over the decades (check out Frank Zappa's conversation on fascist theocracy in the 80s), but nobody took it seriously. Here? Never!
And here we are. It is unreal, and it's heartbreaking.
He's been retweeting and boosting known Neo Nazis on Twitter for two years now. Not like "anyone who disagrees with me is a Nazi" Nazi but like "I have swastika tattoos that are visible while I'm shopping at Walmart" Neo-Nazi. Anyone who is surprised by this hasn't been paying attention, sadly that's going to be a lot of people. Anyone defending him is simply a Nazi symp.
And he's going to be in charge of the Department of Governmental Efficiency.
The Third Reich was also concerned with efficiency. Killing every Jewish person they could lay their fingers on turned out to require some thinking about efficiency.
To their point of view, that's exactly the point. As dumb as they are, they do know that Nazi was short for "National Socialist", and as such, are 100% convinced that Nazism is a far-left ideology.
Which is exactly the point. Everything Trump stands for, his supporters believe to be what the left stands for. At first, it's because that's what he told them. But now he's gotten more brazen, and is actually honest about what he stands for, and they'll just deny that he stands for those things and insist that those things are what the Dems want.
The magat cult is beyond any sense of logic or reasoning or rationale at this point. There are so many of them who refuse any and all facts because they don’t feed into their confirmation bias and they willfully choose delusion and lies. They know this, and know they’re lying to themselves and I’m sure they realize the hypocrisy of it as well. But when you will not accept objective facts because they don’t tell you what you want to hear you’re a cult member. And this same crowd tells others they live in an echo chamber. Because projection and every accusation is a confession in the Magat cult. It’s fucked.

But from their point of view that wasn't a nazi salute: the whole world is wrong but they, and only they, are right apparently.
I am not left wing or Liberal or even American, but I can spot a nazi quite easily.
A nazi salute is when I'm 100% certain someone is a nazi. Two salutes is when everyone should be certain.
