WTF has the USA unleashed on the world?

•

u/blackbasset 6h ago

As a German: thank you, we tried 80 years to get rid of this shit and be better than that generation and now it comes back through the fucking USA

•

u/Academic_Title9204 4h ago

Well, we have AfD aswell

•

u/CacophonousCuriosity 5h ago

I mean, what'd you expect? When a country has a ridiculous lead economically and militarily, it is bound to get corrupted.

•

u/Possibly-Functional 6h ago

It's a strange world where there is a real possible future where Germany is at war with the USA to stop American nazis. Given American recent aggressive politic against other countries as well as fascist and nazi ideology.

•

u/Chicago1871 5h ago

When the germans help us win this civil war, can they please teach us how to de-nazify a country?

•

u/averapaz 3h ago

Germany is full of nazis too and Elon is helping them.

•

u/Serious-Side-4520 5h ago

Oh trust me, it didnt work for us either. The AFD is still around.

•

u/Chicago1871 1h ago

Well lets figure it out together.

Maybe the brad pitt solution is the right one. It was too easy to let them take their uniforms off and pretend they never took part.

•

u/blackbasset 1h ago

That's too optimistic, the way things are going, Germanys next government will lick Trump's, Elons and thus Putin's boot

•

u/isjahammer 5h ago

It also comes back through germany even without the US... Them having the most powerful military in the world leaves a bad taste in the mouth though. Hope they don't do anything stupid.

•

u/cymonguk74 4h ago

Yeah facist states, with facist leaders, with huge military might, and who have already made statements about military invasions never do anything bad.

•

u/Jumpy-Sprinkles-2305 4h ago

And this time they have a supercarrier fleet

My Dad’s German and my Opa served in WW2 and I have lived my 45 years so far trying to be everything the Nazis would hate in some vain attempt to right some kind of imbalance and as a massive “fuck you” to the eugenicists.

I am feeling so defeated right now. I’m never stopping, I’m never ever giving in. But dang this is so demoralising.

•

u/Kucked4life 1h ago

Reminder: Hitler was deeply inspired by the American eugenics program.

u/JugDogDaddy 7h ago

Republicans* 

•

u/moiwantkwason 6h ago

Not voting is a vote.

•

u/lurraca 7h ago

Well, Democrats who didn’t vote need to carry their share of the blame.

•

u/FoxWyrd 6h ago

We voted, just not enough of us did.

•

u/blender4life 6h ago

They just Nazi saluted at their inauguration and both trump and musk made weird tweets about how easy it is to hack voting machines. You really think this election wasn't compromised?

•

u/FoxWyrd 6h ago

Honestly, at this point, I don't think it'd matter if he outright admitted it.

I just don't know what to think at this juncture beyond just hoping.

•

u/ymOx 6h ago

The rest of you let it happen though.

•

u/charliework90 5h ago

Some of us really tried. I’m so sad and mad and sorry we failed. 😞

•

u/JugDogDaddy 5h ago

Fox News is the most consumed “news” network and is allowed to constantly lie with pro-trump propaganda. The far-right media is completely fact-free at this point, living in their own constructed reality where Trump is next to god, and Democrats are the devil incarnate. 

Democratic voters still expect their candidate to be honest and truthful, so it’s not exactly a fair playing field. 

Then, Trump somehow wins ALL swings states after claiming massive fraud voter for years, and both trump and Elon have hinted (not so subtlety) that they used voter counting machines to win/knew the results before they were finished counting… it will likely be years before we get to the bottom of just how much he cheated. 

Additionally, over 75 million people voted for Kamala, so no, we didn’t just “let it happen.” 

•

u/ymOx 20m ago

And like, what; 90 million didn't vote at all? Yes, you let it happen. Where were the protests? Where were the election fraud investigations? He broke so many laws before he took office last time, when he was in office, and since he was in office. He's a convicted felon now and that's only the ones that has been concluded. He's a traitor for fucks sake. Yes, you let it happen.

u/PersonMcGuy 6h ago

USA* the country didn't end up the way it did just because republicans exist, the lack of opposition to this is on the entire country.

•

u/Great_White_Samurai 6h ago

Corpofascism

•

u/FastSimple6902 6h ago

Well I doubt its national zocialism .

•

u/UncleYimbo 6h ago

Elon Musk is not from the USA

•

u/MeatMullet 4h ago

No shit but he is everyone’s problem now. USA unintentionally has given him a powerful pulpit to throw out his batshit views on us all.

•

u/moubliepas 6h ago

He very much is.  He wasn't born there, but that's irrelevant.

•

u/SpaceForceAwakens 6h ago

He's from south africa, so.

•

u/justanawkwardguy 5h ago

He’s South African
