    No.

    The people are so gaslit they will attack you if you say otherwise.

    I wonder why our allies aren’t helping at this point. Surely they understand where this goes if they don’t stop it sooner rather than later. Europe is laughing at Americans ignoring the tiger that will eat them soon.

      IDK what to do about the gaslighting by Fox and right wing media… Too many people trust things without verification and it’s the reason our country is in such despair right now

      You have the most powerful military in the world and basically are your allies’ (former) protective power. There is no outside help coming because (among other reasons of course) nobody is physically able to help you.

      I am German and I am appalled by the behavior of our government: Instead of standing up to Trump and his henchmen and becoming independent from the US, they are kowtowing to him, even though it is completely obvious how little Trump cares about his so called allies—and since the US is nowadays blackmailing Europe with tariffs and so on, it takes a lot of imagination to still call them allies, especially when all halfway rational people are particularly disturbed by all the inhuman Nazi shit.

      Unfortunately, however, the weak position of the current German government was already absolutely foreseeable before the last federal election, because the Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, is actually more of a US lobbyist than a politician (among other things, he was chairman of the supervisory board of Black Rock Germany until 2022 and held various positions in business lobby organizations such as the Atlantik-Brücke – a conservative think tank). Nothing can be expected from these people, although I unfortunately also think that US citizens should not count on any external support anyway.

      Why your “allies” don’t help? Well, the USA shouldn’t have spit in our face to begin with.

      We have enough to fix in our own country with your stupid “USA first” moves.

      Endure your own shit while we endure your shit…
