I get this, but probably the best way to feel safer is to forge local connections. Check on your neighbors, they’ll check on you

Unfortunately, many neighbors in the US have decided to take it upon themselves to install a fascist dictator as the head of our government.

In fact, the only way that many of those neighbors will “check in” on their neighbors is through a scope.

My district voted 86% for Trump to 14% for Harris.

I have no neighbors. Just people who will report me to the secret police in the future.

It’s really for your own good to go to Camp Christian and learn not to be a pagan

Me and my neighbors will check on each other quite often. As we will be cell mates.

No, that’s silly. You’ll both be campers at “Liberty Rehabilitation Camp!”

A friend in the UK called me first thing this morning to check on me. It meant the world. Please do check on your friends in the US, now and regularly. ❤️

Ummmm … no … your military has been dishing out misery all over the world for the past 80 years.

US poor now get to see and feel what the rest of the world has been going through.

We’re all too busy trying to look after ourselves because of what you guys have left everyone everywhere.

Ok, trumps not like darth sidious with a gloomy mystique and sinister powers but he’s definitely the American version of that. Like you cross darth sidious with ronald mcdonald and trump pops out

Rule 2.

But sure, we can do that. It’s not particularly difficult to find news from the US in other parts of the world.

I don’t think you’ll want to trust the news much longer. Not coming out of the US, at least.

Don’t worry about that. We pay a few of our own journalists to live in the US and report the news. I occasionally read or watch both the European and unfiltered American reporting and they’re not alike. I think we still get a picture resembling something close to the truth. At least generally speaking.

Like I’m saying you need someone to go into the camps, which they won’t have clearance, and look for the mass graves.

Y’all need to touch grass. This is pathetic. You’re sad and scared because you hide in a leftist echo chamber and have just been confronted with the reality outside that bubble. You’re going to be fine. Your neighbors don’t want to hurt you. They want to live peaceful, prosperous lives, just like you do. I hope you are quickly able to see past the disappointment of your preferred candidate losing.

This is cope, and to a dangerously naïve extent. He killed hundreds of thousands of Americans in 2020 through sheer negligence alone. He had political dissenters black bagged by masked enforcers into unmarked vans during the BLM protests.

This time around, his party has consolidated around him and he has promised mass deportations that are logistically unviable and will require widespread use of violence to be actioned. He’s promised extreme tariffs that will cause millions more to be unable to afford housing, sustenance or medical attention. He’s called for a really bad day of violence. This means Kristallnacht again.

Even if he does end up being too lazy to follow through on any of his promises, a hope we really ought not to rely on, the fascist movement he’s built up around him will control all three branches of government and be able to do as they please. The deaths that’ll be caused by the environmental damage alone will be untold, and this is to say nothing of the effects that this government will have abroad.
