Comment on Would a re-elected Donald Trump ruin Democracy across the globe in a domino effect?
sadbehr@lemmy.nz 10 months agoI just cannot belive how history is repeating itself.
This is what is doing my tits in. It’s so fucking frustrating and maddening watching America go through this shit. It’s unbelievable.
I just try to remember that there are good people in America, and I hope they prevail.

I really hope they do too.
I’m surrounded every day by willfully ignorant people who haven’t taken the time to even think about all of this shit. They wait for some asshole to tell them what to think.
I’ll never forget the fear on their faces on January 6th. Sure, some of them were excited, big wide shit eating grins across their faces. Most of them were terrified.
All of them said the same thing pretty quickly after it happened no matter how they felt. “It was ain-tee-fuh. They trying to make us look bad.”
I just say, “well, look these people up and call them antifa. Tell me what they say. Most of them put their views on full display on the internet. It’s easy to look if you want to.”
I get a lot of it though. All the talk about “fake news” makes people feel like everything they see is a lie. I doubt myself pretty often because I’m always afraid some propaganda got me.
What Trump did was obvious. He did it in plain sight. People don’t even trust their own eyes any more.
Scary shit.
Seeing scores of people calling for public executions is what really gets to me. If they get real power a lot of people are going to die.
