Welcome to America, where ICE agents show up at your work place to demand you delete your Instagram post, because it reminds people that ICE agent Jonathan Ross has not been indicted for his murder of Renée Good.

The USA has turned into a country I would never like to visit again in the foreseeable future.

@aerofreak @randahl A part of it has always been like that, I think. I mean, have a look at the US press and their favourable opinions of the nazis in 1930’s. Then have a look at McCarthyism, and not even mentioning KKK’s maintstream popularity.

IMO it’s just been damn good at propagandising away the evil parts of itself, that never have been defeated. It’s been behaving like an empire most of it’s life, but we in Europe needed to believe it was good because USSR.

Yes, and there are other things I’ve always found disconcerting. It’s just that it has now reached such an obvious, alarming scale. And apparently, more than 30 per cent of voters still support it. I don’t travel to surround myself with people like that. I’ve already got too many of them in my own country
