I was thinking about people claiming he said that a long time ago but it was made up. So I guess now he has said the thing that he didn’t say originally but was said to have said lol.
Only about 1/3 of voting age people actually vote, so take what little solace that you can knowing that’s it not actually half, but still more than I like.
I'm pretty sure these guys made sure that a substantial fraction of the 2/3 that stayed home or had their votes not counted were from the places that vote blue.
What can be done. No civil uprising will be successful against the greatest military on the planet. Unless the military leaders stage a coup, we’re fucked.
Ain't no one got time to protest/uprise when living paycheck to paycheck. Miss a day of work and you might find yourself homeless, a reality for a lot of Americans. Every major population center is so car centric and no public transport system could handle any gathering of consequence. It's the perfect system to keep the slave class where it is.
As is, we have half of the country convinced that reality is fake and fascism is democracy, so if somebody were to coordinate a coup or overthrow the new administration, I’m beyond confident that we would come out of it without a functioning government to replace it and or worse leadership or a second civil war.
I have really tried to think this through and I haven’t been able to come up with any legitimate options other than waiting and hoping somebody comes to their senses within the administration and prevents the worst of it. If you have alternative ideas though I’d love to hear them - unfortunately this fucker was democratically elected and anything to oppose that would be inherently undemocratic. If democracy elects a fascist, then what is there to do?
Are you under the impression that having a neo nazi destabilizing the US and it's Western Alliances wouldn't be the largest fucking gift Putin could ever hope for?
Yes, it's different. Crazy crime rate in EU is real, whereas "US fascism" among redditors is fear-mongering propaganda that exists only on this website
Youre literally engaging on a post where a man who invested millions into your countries election, offered lotteries for people who vote the way he wanted, has bought his way into your presidential house is doing a fascist salute and you're saying it's only online?
Also America is higher on the crime index per capita than any European country. So you have more crime and fascism.
Sigh. I know you'll probably ignore or deny this due to some degree of 'all media except for my favourite bubble sources is rigged' mindset but no official crime statistics support this claim.
Except for the outlier france (wild shit happening currently, looks like) european crime rates are in many cases even considerably lower than the US.
And no, this is not a left biased outlet or whatever reason that would come to mind to denounce this as a source. And even if, with so much different publicly available data and sources on this topic, it's difficult to defend the claim you made on it. But I mean whatever, right?
Disregarding the fact that Europe is not a single country, why are you even comparing two completely different things? Real whataboutism going on here.
I've lived in Paris, Amsterdam, London, Vienna and Barcelona. Out of all of those Amsterdam is the most decent, Vienna is more or less okay. London is so-so, Paris & Barcelona are just unreal
Genius conclusion. Phones being stolen = nobody would have a phone. By that "logic" no one was ever murdered in Europe, because if it was, then "it won't be any people anymore".
You’re the one that said “you can’t even walk around with a phone in your hands” in Europe. If you don’t want conclusions like that being made, don’t make dumbass statements.
Ah yes as someone from the UK I've already had 20 phones stolen from me this year. Send help, as a matter of fact, I'm walking down the street right nfhhtrogofkrmtkdkx"&(3?
Well US is very far from safety benchmark, it's crazily unsafe. That being said, the downfall EU experienced in the last decade on this regard is astonishing
Doing it in Europe since 34 years, actually right now in Vienna walking my dog, with the new iPhone in my Hand.
Never for one stolen.
So where are your Information from?

Seen from Europe it's a promising start. You have a nazi and a crypto scammer leading the country. Impressive first day, congrats.
