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.

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

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

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.

If you lived through four years of that greasy shit stain, you might be a little hysterical too.

But please, don’t let me interrupt you from acting like an insufferable twat.

He was a shit President, but all the doommongering about how WWIII was about to begin never happened. Because he was just shit and incompetent.

The next four years will be similar.

Funny, it’s trump himself doing the doommongering about WWIII. Hmmmm.

Just note, it may not end our shit democracy but it won’t be more of the same. Trump first time around was a dog that caught the car. This time he brought a pack a wolves with him.

In 2016 the Republicans didn’t have the planning or political infrastructure to truly cause the damage they wanted to. In less than a decade we now have an openly corrupt and stacked Supreme Court, a legislature with plenty of Maga sycophants to pass whatever they want and a presidency that is going to be filled with the likes of Elon Musk and the literal Project 2025 playbook written by trumps cronies and the Herritage Foundation.

Though a few peoples freedoms have been taken away, like women. And you got a lot stupider on average. And he cut the taxes of the rich while millions lost health insurance and national debt increased. So it’s not particularly great eiher.

to be fair, he had more checks on his power then, had less motive for revenge against the justice and electoral systems, and is now even more crazy. Im hoping it will be just some incompetence and international embarrassment, but Im worried that it might be more.
