People from all over the world are trying to get into this boiling pot. Despite America’s flaws, very few places are better alternatives when you look at economic opportunity and political rights. It is popular to trash on America now because who is president for the next four years but there’s also only so many things he can do with an executive order and Congress isn’t a fast moving engine.
I hope America will have democratic elections in four years. But I won’t be surprised if it doesn’t happen.
Trump is a fascist, has both chambers and the supreme Court behind him. At best, it’s going to be a very dark four years for minorities, women and poor people.
The US will have a democratic election in two years and it is very likely the Democrats will retake the House of Representatives. After that time, everything President Trump tries to do will rapidly decelerate. Of course, that depends on what the Democrats do to win the vote. Right now they are doubling down on the things that made them into losers the last election. They need to get their act together.
I sincerely hope you’re right.
Huffing a bit much on copium n.americanium?
Have you ever travelled? Scandinavia is miles better than the US, as is Iceland and most European countries I have been, too. Cleaner, safer, no guns, free healthcare, better welfare, maternity leave, minimum 4 weeks holiday and so on and so forth. Yes you get a lot of immigrants but so does everyone else, America is not special in that regard. It was a decent country to live in before Trump but now not so much.
I said very few places were better alternatives. Scandinavia is never going to be able to accommodate the volume of migrants as had the United States. Scandinavia also has a lot of problems regarding their immigrant communities … high unemployment, crime, and difficulty integrating. When comparing people in the US and places like Sweden, if you control for factors like race or immigration status, the average expected experience fairs very well in the United States. Where I live in the US is very clean, gun violence is low, my cost of healthcare is almost zero … really the only thing I’d like is the vacation time but I am self-employed and am a cruel boss to myself. Most of the problems Europeans try to claim about the US are problems that do exist but are largely confined to black communities. These problems do need to be addressed but are things that Europeans have no real comparison to outside places that have large romani populations.
Drank the Koolade huh?
The US has been looked-down upon by the world for a long, long time. Now we’re just starting to feel bad for you.

You’re out to lunch, musk is couping the government and breaking it on purpose.
The technofascists want their fiefdoms and they’re trying to kill most of us so they can rule the rubble. Curtis yarvin, look him up.
