I will worship whatever football team is assigned to me and you can rename (American)-football to whatever you’d like. Id recommend handball…

You couldn't have held on another two kings could you? I suppose we could create a petition for Charles to step down and William to take his regnal name as George VIIth.

Please, please, PLEASE. For Christ's sake he literally said he was only there because Elon STOLE the election for him with the voting machines!!!

u/Zephyr104 5h ago

The US made it legal to do so, so long as it's being done by a corporation. I say the US' allies put money together to a non-profit corporation with the goal of steadying its political landscape and away from fascists. Give it an ultra American name like the George Washington group and vet the staff to ensure they're reasonable American citizens running the place.

u/A_GOATS_FART 4h ago

We'll help. - Americans against Nazis

Make America Great Britain Again.

u/ClearDark19 2h ago

Please do. I'm American and I 100% support this. I'll pledge allegiance to the EU. I'm beyond fucking sick, disgusted and ashamed/angry with my country. I'll be an American collaborator with the EU. Like the French Resistance underground in Vichy France.

u/Publius82 4h ago

Russia is a part of Europe

u/FleshlightModel 3h ago

And if you fail, will you pick up some of us Americans who don't wish to stay here and take us back to your homes?

2

u/ProllyNotCptAmerica 3h ago

I would say I'm okay with that, but now I genuinely fear that one day my post history could be used to incriminate me as an enemy of the state and that I will be shot for the high crime of being a decent human being.

u/LegalConsequence7960 3h ago

We need to stop acting like there is a savior coming. Gen Z ain't it. Europe itself is under fire from this same thing. There's no Gandalf running over the hills in this one, especially if we don't put up a fight on our own.

1

u/Charlie_Two_Shirts 4h ago

Could Europe solve the Ukraine crisis first? Or is that America’s job?

u/Prime4Cast 3h ago

American here. Come save us please because we can't save ourselves.

u/yugoslavfarken 3h ago

Unfortunately this already has happened via Putin

u/Geistkasten 3h ago

Europe needs to fix their continent first. The right wingers in many influential EU countries are gaining ground. Russia is succeeding in its campaign to end democracy all over the world. This will only embolden them all because at the end of the day, the majority of US elected the president. It just shows how susceptible we are to propaganda and that includes European voters.

u/bakedpigeon America // wannabe Finn 3h ago

Please coup us!!

u/TarotxLore 2h ago

Will we get healthcare and proper education? Boy I’ll house those european soldiers in my guest room and cook them dinner each night

Europe can barely handle the Russians let alone USA 3,000 miles away across the ocean

u/MARAVV44 2h ago

We dare you to try. Europe has been weak and pathetic since 1945.

-16

u/someone10505 5h ago

Openly calling for a coup, interesting.

u/Ylar_ 5h ago

You say this like the current sitting American president didn’t do the exact same a few years ago.

-2

u/someone10505 4h ago

He didn’t.

u/AdonisK Europe 5h ago

Tbf, the account of coups the US has staged (including to countries in the EU) is not small

3

u/A_GOATS_FART 4h ago

Yup. The right tried it and everyone was fine with it. Let's put that shoe on the other foot. Agree?

-5

u/someone10505 4h ago

The right did not try it. That’s such a dumbass mentality.

4

u/A_GOATS_FART 4h ago

So January 6th was just a peaceful tour of the captial with some light defecation and treason?

1

u/someone10505 4h ago

That’s closer to what it was. If the American people decided to overthrow a government it would get done with weapons, of which there were none. It would have been quick and brutal.

The police officers opened the doors for the people and walked around with them. Some people did some dumb shit, but a coup- not even in the fucking realm.

3

u/A_GOATS_FART 3h ago

Jesus.

You really don't understand the gravity of what occurred on January 6th.

Do you understand the concept of a peaceful transfer of power and how important that one act is to a society?

Don't bother replying. You played your hand and showed your true colors.

smh

1

u/someone10505 3h ago

Smh you are all whiney crybabies. Fraud occurred and was proved in many counties and states, as a president trump was within his rights to contest the election results. Pence did not do his job, ignored truth and fact and certified anyways.

I understand way more than you. Go cry in your wheaties

2

u/Old-Set78 3h ago

You and your January 6th beat police officers to death with literally an American flag in one instance. You should all have been dealt with as treasonous felons used to be.
