It's hard for some of my fellow Europeans to understand why Trump is sending the military to US cities.

It's hard for me to understand why some of my fellow Europeans support Trump wannabes in the EU & UK.

Politics based on imagined threats of internal enemies always heads in this direction: toward state violence against innocent people.

How can anyone look at the descent of the US into authoritarian mass violence & think, "yeah, that's what my country needs, too?"

The fascist pariahs of the world were unwilling to become more democratic, so they have worked tirelessly to normalize fascism by dragging down and dividing any nominally democratic country they can.

It wasn't so long ago that police-states like China were seen as extreme, now they're lauded as the future. They've managed to both help the GOP destroy the US, divide the US and Europe, and also whitewash their own reputation with the next generation via avenues like TikTok.
