What the hell just happened? The #orange #goblin turned 80 and decided to arrange a #redneck party on his front lawn, complete with #circus #fisticuffs and fighter jets.

A man of #class, he is not.

I true statesman would probably have done some sort of #charity event, perhaps with kids or #veterans. Instead he went full #Idiocrazy, like the fucking scoundrel he is.

Just an observation. You know, from someone living in the real world.

#Trump #potus

What's more horrifying is how many Americans still support him (which includes most of my neighbors).

@wannabemystiker It boggles the mind. Growing up, the TV was telling us that the Americans were just like us, except obviously
much richer and way cooler.

The last decades have been a bloody horrifying eye opener though. I'm sure there are lovely people over there, but in general we seem to fundamentally disagree on the whole "in the same boat" thing. Be it across country or across allied nations.

You should come over. We have socialism and everything here. Cookies too.

There are millions of wonderful people here. Many of whom are working hard against the onslaught of the MAGA cult and the predators who are taking advantage of the political tides. Unfortunately, there are also millions whom support Trump and millions whom are indifferent or can't be inconvenienced to resist or fight back. 🙁

"You should come over. We have socialism and everything here. Cookies too."

Let me tell you, if I was younger and wasn't not leaving my grown kids behind, we'd be over there in a heart beat.

@wannabemystiker I know, but sometimes it's hard to stay optimistic. I'm sure it will get better at some point. And age is just a number. At least that's what I'm telling myself these days 😂
