America is NOT (and never had been) a political monolith, and we extremely all do not support trump (look at his approval ratings if nothing else).

America is the monolith. Russia is the monolith. Israel is the monolith.

United Russia isn’t invading Ukraine, Russia is. Likud isn’t performing genocide in Gaza, Israel is. The Republican Party isn’t waging economic, military, climate, and human-rights warfare among its former allies and fostering a world war for profit - The United States of America is.

So I’m sorry you get lumped together while in opposition but I ask what people outside the US are supposed to do while we wait for the bombs? Smile on Lemmy and save our complaints for people who clearly identify as Trump supporters? I ask what you think of first when you think of a 1930s German, and then add on top decades of freedom fanaticism, foreknowledge in the form of basic WWII history,

Guilty until proven innocent? Sure, but in the setting of a confession (the (second) election) I think the world can be forgiven for assuming the flag stands for what it’s doing when commenting.

Again, I’m sorry. I don’t want to be mean to people or stereotype either but I really don’t think Americans on either side understand how fucking scared we are, and it will be under one flag that you come to kill my family for minerals or some shit just like it’s the Russian flag bombing Ukraine and the Israeli over the ruins of Gaza. Our bestest friend and the kid who took all the equipment because he was “the bestest” has joined the bullies and taken all the shit. Punches are next and I think we can be forgiven lashing out.
