@randahl As a European, can you put in a good word with the immigration authorities for me?

@randahl  I am beyond baffled!

@randahl David French has an interesting hypothesis here: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/06/opinion/maga-america-trump.html

@randahl it's less than a third really, most Americans are quite normal and are being held hostage by a fascist minority. Like pretty much everywhere else soon by the looks of it......

@randahl In fairness, he's not the guy half of America wants to be president. He's the guy half of people who voted wants to be president. Voter turnout is... Not great here. The actual number is still bleak, though. It's somewhere around 25 to 30 percent. The same 25 to 30 percent who loudly and obnoxiously fuck up everything.

@randahl half is an exaggeration. 40% maybe? But of those, many know he's an idiot. They don't care, they just want to stop social progress.

@randahl It was brought in by the public there for a tour, Donald.

@randahl Racist America knows they have lost but he is their last hope of racist survival.

@randahl Trump is an embarrassment. It's like having diarrhea from a bacteria, temporarily--one is embarrassed... As an American I'm astonished that Italy has a neo-fascist leader again, and the UK has brexited, dumped its efforts for addressing climate change, installed a guy who cares only about moneyed interests to run the country...and then there's this: Fascism haunts Europe again

@randahl every accusation....

@randahl well, if you've visited here, you'd see more than half of the people are complete idiots

@randahl @Adam_Cadmon1 And as an American, I too am equally astonished. :(

@randahl around 20% of the population voted for him.

@randahl I live in New Mexico and I suspect it's a reasonable example of the general split. The center of the state and the NE and SW corners are reliably Democrat. Most people you meet are normal i.e. not rabidly xtian fascists. Then there's the SE and NW corners, ugh. Chock full of "Trump Won" flags with blue stripes flapping from huge trucks. The normal people try not to go into the crazy areas and when the crazies come into the normal areas they head straight for Walmart and Crackerbarrel.

@randahl scary in Florida that the GOP not for Trump wants Desatan instead!

@randahl I am equally astonished and appalled that so many in my country have fallen under the sway of his grift.

@randahl someone really must do something about all the cocaine

@[email protected] as a Canadian I feel the same way... Americans are 🙃

@randahl it’s not half of Americans fortunately. I don’t know how it’s all reported to you so please don’t give credit to the radical tRumpsters. (If only they were literate)

@randahl as an American I am horrified.

@randahl *NEARLY half of US VOTERS. The most votes he got in an election was about 22% of US adults.

@randahl
As an American, I too, am deeply astonished.

@randahl
We will never give in to the #MAGATerrorists
