A long time ago I saw this conspiracy theory that the reason all public buildings (schools, etc.) in the US have an industrial size incinerator by law is to burn the bodies during a fascist takeover.

It was funny then. Not so much now.

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.

The more you want to find out exactly who it was, and watch them closely from now on.

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.

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. ❤️

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.

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
