    Oh, just now? Come on. He ran on dismantling the government, and somehow people thought he was kidding. That, and immigrants were causing all our problems.

    I don’t see how we get ourselves out of this peacefully. Despite the party line being that everything will be better for business, what happens when domestic crops are left to rot in the fields because “the terrorists” were deported?

        And fleeing is the best choice. The U.S. can plant its own fucking trees (which it won’t) while I finally feel a sense of relief on a trans-Atlantic flight.

          Just as Nazi Germany caused millions to flee Europe for the US, Fascist US is causing the first of millions to flee to Europe.

          Here’s hoping all who make it will be safe for at least several generations.

            The weird thing being that all the American gun-nuts have been yammering about their second amendment rights for so long and why it’s important that they get to have as close to military issue weaponry as possible at home.

            Well, boys & girls… What’s happening in your government right now, might literally be the reason for the second amendments exesisting.

            The problem with dictators is that people tend to vote them into office themselves, without realizing it. And then fail to dispose of them again, for the same reason.

              Look, US here. I’ve been saying this for years and turns out as normal I’m fucking right.

              A leaning majority of the gun nuts are the ones cheering for this and wanted a fascist regime. The other half has always been cosplayers wanting to look tough. The 2A crowd of our country has always been cowards that was willing to sacrifice children to protect their precious sacred cows.
