  • They are a group that opposes Trump, just as the Jewish people opposed Hitler.

    What possible benefit are you creating by lumping people together like this? What goal are you achieving by applying the sins of America’s corrupt leadership to anyone and everyone who was simply born on American soil, and currently resides here?

    I can tell you that as an American, Trump wants this. You can take that, or you can leave it, but either way I assure you he supports your message here. If he gets his internal enemies fighting his external enemies, then that’s a win-win situation for him.


  • America’s political system has reached a breaking point with Trump. There is simply no precedent right now for what he’s doing. Typically, we can vote roughly every two years to re-balance major problems in our government (a push and pull between red and blue, so to speak). If enough Republicans see the damage he’s doing, they actually can vote against their party, and/or push their representatives to impeach Trump.

    But the problem is our representatives are not representing us. THIS has been going on for years - even Obama didn’t represent his constituents, though he tried to keep up appearances, and that was important in and of itself. But, I digress, even if those of us opposing Trump in the States can convince our idiot family members and neighbors to drop their support for Trump, there’s little chance their representatives will listen. Those people are entangled in a web of self service, bribes, and extortion.

    In short, America is run by corrupt leaders and enough of them do not intend in any way to represent their constituents. The democrats (THE defense against Trump) are also corrupt. We had a chance to put Bernie on the ballot, and they steamrolled his campaign and shoved Biden in there instead of Bernie, despite immense support for him. Biden is THE reason Trump won at this stage. If we had an enigmatic leader, he or she would have never lost a re-election campaign.

    So now here we are today… America has in many ways fallen at this point. I believe it can still be fixed, but the right combination of force needs to be applied both internally, and externally. If this can’t be achieved, and the people of my country can’t do what needs to be done, then it will likely come down to violence, and the destabilization (and potential splintering) of the worlds most advanced and monied military… that is an incredibly frightening thought for the entire world.

    As for Ukraine… it has more support than the Ukainians may know. I have a family member that never budges on Trump, and the first time I’ve EVER heard them speak against Trump was yesterday, when I asked them how they felt about Trump pulling support from Ukraine. I hope this is a crack in the hate machine Trump has generated. If it is, then even with Trump in power, support may return to Ukraine, or we may expel Trump with the help of his own voters. That’s very optimistic… but well, sometimes hope is all you got. Until we fix things, I can only hope Europe can provide the support Ukraine needs.

    If anyone knows a good Ukrainian charity, I’d love to help raise money in my community. I found this one, in case anyone can weigh in? https://u24.gov.ua/ <-- Good donation source?



  • Oh, absolutely. I’m not defending America. Nobody should trust us at this point. Our country is currently completely broken.

    But there are at least two major ways to see countries like ours that have evil leadership… You can blame the government and those that empower it, or you can blanket-blame all of the people that live there.

    If you blame the people, and it catches on, then you end up dehumanizing an entire segment of humanity. It’s not unlike being racist, ableist, or sexist. You’re stripping individuality from an entire group, and applying preconceived principals to them as a whole.

    America is a divided nation. Trump isn’t just harming our allies, and helping our enemies… He’s also first and foremost viciously attacking Americans and doing his best to strip away every freedom we have that might challenge him.

    This is a man that’s out to destroy America, and to disrupt the strength of those who oppose Putin. The best way for him to achieve his goal is to get all of us at one another’s throats. The more petty, the better - that’s Trump’s bread and butter. A divided world is easier to conquer, just like our nation.

    We can either stand together against tyranny as humans, or fall divided on our swords of ignorance and nationalism.
