Well, here we are.
Congratulations, America, you now have a new President.
What follows are some stupid random thoughts, coming from a non-US citizen, somewhere in the EU.
- Prepare for a shitshow the likes of which you have never seen. If you liked Civil War 1.0, you will loooooove Civil War 2.0
- Project 2025 is going to a bitch, baby, and there are no restraints

- The racism and misogyny of America is now all out in the open, plain for all to see
- The number 1 error of the Democrats has been to underestimate said racism and misogyny
- Tyrants from Moscow to Beijing to Tehran are now rejoicing: their chosen puppet is back in the White House

- If you are a minority (PoC, LGBTQ, Jewish, Moslem, etc.): please stay safe
- If you want to be an ally, now is your chance
- Because police forces everywhere are going to put on their MAGA hats and go on a rampage,
- Organize, organize, organize: start local, join a union, a liberal gun club, whatever

- Remember: they can only take your rights away if you let them
- Practice safe computing practice and stop posting shit about Trump like rabid ferrets on crack
Also:
- Vote with your dollars: refuse to give a single bloody cent to companies that supported DJT
- Yes, start with Amazon
- Remember that DJT himself is unlikely to finish his 2nd term. JDV is going to replace him soonish. God help us all.

Remember:
- They will come for you, no matter of WASP you are.
- Soon enough, FOREX is going to short the USD like there is no tomorrow. Expect inflation to go through the roof.
- ... Especially once DJT enacts his import taxes...
- Pax Americana and the benefits of Imperium are going out the window pretty soon as well
- I expect NATO to be dead in the water soon enough (more on this later)

6/x
- I will repeat this: expect 'them' to listen to you. Encrypt everything.
- Ditch Facebook, Threads, Bluesky, Snapchat, Instagram, Xitter, NOW
- Get your stuff in order ASAP, titles, real estate, bank accounts, everything has to be ironclad
- Do not expect Americans will be welcomed anywhere: Canada, Mexico, the EU will not accept massive immigration from the USA

7/x
- One more time, for the people in the back: there are no 'checks and balances' anymore, the guy has won everything: White House, Senate, House of representatives, SCOTUS - you name it, he has it
- FOR THE NEXT 4 YEARS AT BEST

- Immigration: Australia, NZ, could be an option, but they come with their own sets of issues
- If you have a 2nd passport in addition to an American one: prepare to leave the USA NOW, not in 6 months time
- THE WAR ON WOKE IS ON LIKE DONKEY KONG!
- And 'woke' is whatever DJT defines as woke - it's going to be a bloodbath

9/x
- This is going to be the 1921 Tulsa Massacre, except in every state and in every city
- You think this is over the top? Just remember 'there are fine people on both sides'... Some were chanting 'You will not replace us'...

Geopol:
- NATO is dead. D-E-A-D. Kaputt. Gone. I give it 6 months tops.
- The EU needs to get off its butt RIGHT NOW and starts putting together an independent defense policy and industry
- It needs to supply EVERYTHING to Ukraine, because the war there gives it time to prepare for a war everywhere and Russians stuck in Ukraine cannot attack the EU
Don't like - boost if you agree.
11/x
- Hungary needs to be kicked out of the EU or Orban needs to be eliminated with extreme prejudice (yes, I am serious)
- We need to be ready for a wave of B.S. from Russia the likes of which we have never seen
- The UK needs to think long and hard about re-joining the EU, called it Breenter or whatever
- And the EU needs to think long and hard about letting the UK back in - this is not a given
Don't like - boost if you agree.
12/x
- War between China and Taiwan is now a certainty - I give it 2 to 3 years tops
- War between North and South Korea is now in play, especially if DJT pulls US troops out of the South
- Australia needs to rethink AUKUSA pretty fucking fast. Especially if it wants those sweet sweet nuke subs (see previous two)
Don't like - boost if you agree.
13/x
- Palestine is gone - expect the bloodbath to continue until there is nothing and no-one left in Gaza and the West Bank
- Lebanon is facing massacre on a grand scale, I expect the south of the country to be annexed into a 'Great Israel'
- Except if the EU gets its shit together, or Netanyahu is dragged in front of the courts, the above two are now a dead certainty
Don't like - boost if you agree.
14/x
- If you are in Latin America, expect the return of the Monroe Doctrine and the exploitation of your country by the USA
- If you are in Argentina... God help you, you already have your hands full with the loony in charge

If you are into Infosec, consider EVERY technology out of the USA to be tainted and suspect AT BEST.
This includes FreeBSD and NetBSD, and most of the large Linux distributions. OpenBSD is Canadian, so there is that.

That's all for now. These are just off the cuff ramblings. You get what you paid for, and you did not have to pay anything for this.
Thanks for reading.
END OF RANT.
@ParadeGrotesque Yeah.
"Woke" means the same as "cultural bolshevism" meant to the o.g. nazis.
Whatever the fuck they want to smear with that brush, they will smear it.
The term means nothing else than "This is something the nazis are targeting for oppression"
@ParadeGrotesque Well, in the absolute best case, the #GOP sters could lose control of Congress in 2 years, but that is by far not a given.
Not with the current setup in place.
