No one deserves to be insulted for their nationality.
I wasn’t in that thread, but that’s not an appropriate way for folks to treat eachother
Also, Americans are grieving what may be legitimately the end of vital freedoms, the end of safety for many minority populations, which many of my loved ones belong to, potentially the end of free elections, and an independent court.
It also may mean the complete derailment of any global climate policies as the US steps back from climate commitments, which may prompt other super powers to do the same. That is not a good thing.
Some space to grieve would be welcome. If you live in Russia you have my love and my condolences, I’m sure you have been living with anxieties about your interests not being represented for a long time.
The Americans grieving the end of their democracy are an overwhelming minority.
Trump won the popular vote and about 100 million Americans didn’t even vote. The majority of Americans deserve to be called fascist since they allow one to rule them.
Yep. Thats true. Its also likely not as true for the population that is here.
I did not vote for a fascist. I did vote. I am an American. And I am not a fascist.
I guess all that comes next is learning how to protest. I’ve never been to one before due to social anxiety and my sleep disorder. I guess now is the time to learn how to participate in one.
