Hahahahaha…”I don't want to spend too much time deconstructing the idiocy of Donald Trump’s brain.” Good play MP Angus! As an American citizen—I wholly support your country kicking Trump’s ass.

💯 Trump is the first White House fascist in US history—and will succeed at toppling our reputation as the most powerful country in the world. 😖

Please continue to boycot American products and vacations, as only Financial PAIN to the businesses here, whose owners support Trump and his cronies, will force them to reconsider and turn on Trump and his cohorts.

Boo. That's isolationist & exactly what a fascist loves. When they can provoke another country to put down the entire population of another country, they smile.

Start treating other human beings as disposable tissue because they live in another country. Gee where ever have I read/seen that type of behavior before?

I will be visiting your country later this year, though conditional upon the health of my dog.

But I'm coming from Britain, so only a short hop to the Hoek of Holland and then on to Essen primaily. Me and my motorbike cannot wait to blaze around Deutsland, down to München Bavaria. And onwards.

It is a beautiful land you have with stunning scenery.

Just wanted to affirm what you said to others. Your people also.

I've been to your country. Loved it--wish I could have spent more time there.... WE in America NEED to learn other languages. It's so stupid that we don't...... I think the most I can do is say "hello" and "goodbye" in French....... Actually, I take that back--also in German and Spanish.

Hello Jean, thanks for your nice words, great that you love it here :-) yes, languages so important! We in Germany can learn many languages if we want and if there are teachers around: english, frensh, spanish, russian, turkey...

This world needs communication, understanding, need connection and friendship.

And your country tells the truth about the Holocaust. Americans still have trouble telling the truth about our original sin of slavery and MAGA is working to obliterate it from the history books. There can be no true reconciliation or moving forward without first admitting the truth of our past.

Oliver's avatar

Hello Oaktown, yes we talk about our history.

Its not for feeling of guilty, but to analyze the steps how a mass-hypnozis works. In our schools the movie "the wave" is often watching.

Its about a social experiment where a teacher manipulate to autocracy a class in a school in america, based on a true stroy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wave_(2008_film)#:~:text=The%20Wave%20(German%3A%20Die%20Welle,Strasser's%20novel%20The%20Wave.

I guess this film is highly important for the USA right now...

If in Germany a person say "the Holocaust never has happen" he recive visit from the police and get a big problem.

I think it was in the book "1984" from Orwell where it speaks about the significance that a dictatorship changes the history. The book we read in schools.

Yes Oaktown, you in Amerika have giant problem with conspiracy theorys and stone-heart rassists and heavy lies in the media. If here a media tells lie its a scandal, in USA its normal.

You have so much work in your society to do...and so many kind smart people. The inoformation of Meidas Touch is extremly key-important.

Thank you, Oliver, for your wisdom and recommendations. Many years ago I watched a documentary on the 1971 Stanford prison experiment. It was very disturbing to see how the student "prison guards" became increasingly sadistic and drunk with their power over fellow student "prisoners."

I've been horrified by this human weakness for sadistic scapegoating since a 7th grade English teacher showed our class films made by the U.S. military when they liberated German concentration camps at the end of WWII (anyone can find them now on YouTube).

In today's America I doubt any teacher would be allowed to show those films, but for me it was an unforgettable illuminating exposure to what atrocities "group think" can produce when people are ignorant of their own vulnerability to becoming truly evil. I have great respect for the way the German govt. has handled the aftermath of Hitler's Third Reich.

Canada- Keep standing strong and keeping our money in our country.

Our boycott is having an impact on the only factor which seems to shift many American's opinions: an impact on their own personal finances.

Buy Canadian! Dump American services! Keep your travel loonies here or spend them on one of the many supportive, pro-democracy countries! Thank you, Ben and Charlie- we need your strong voices to help keep us hopeful. Determined is not a problem, but hopeful can be a stretch some days.

I sure don't know, what a kick in the gut. But, a lot of factors that are still coming out, right? It's been a long game, even longer than the Tea Party & Project 2025. A cultural shift that will be significant in history, if we go on to have a history. I think it's the shift in demographics & power away from white male entitlement. But, sorta like the MP said, we maybe don't want it put too much into deconstructing & speculating on all the dysfunction ATM, some perspective comes only in retrospect, & we have to find our way forward now. I hope with all I am that we get very clear on what's important & get a long game in place to never let our democracy be so betrayed again.

I'm extremely concerned. Yesterday there was some conversation on TikTok talking about why Americans weren't taking Canada seriously when they said they were preparing for war. Some said that it has drawn provinces together that would never ever pull together except in case of threat. They said that Americans seem to think Trump's blathering about annexing is just him blathering, but Trump has repeatedly said it's not a joke. Canadians are saying that Canada is preparing for war. They say they're sorry and they don't wish harm on their American friends and family, but they're getting death threats from Maga - and a LOT of them - clearly the usual Maga threatening to come up and just start shooting. We've had those situations here, too - not sure how they'd just go door to door and shoot Democrats, but in Canada they wouldn't have to check party affiliation. So... why isn't the U.S. taking Canada's preparation seriously? Part of it is Canadians don't know why we haven't heard of them preparing for war. We've tried to point out that the U.S. has some really amazing media propaganda and government censorship going on, but people aren't used to thinking of the U.S. in those terms. *Can you do what you can to make Canada's preparations public and have conversations with Canadians about it? Canadians are concerned that we're not taking it seriously. It's such a horrific prospect I can hardly even fathom it, honestly. We love Canadians and Trump is going to ruin that. It breaks my heart.*

Please don’t buy into the bullshit the fascist propaganda media is pumping out. CBS has bent the knee to that asshole like so many before them. True patriots are supporting our constitutional government. We despise what the Musk/tRump regime is doing to this great country. Follow the independents - Kyle Kulinski, Brian Tyler Cohen, Zeteo, and so many more that are pushing back on all the outrageous lies.

Per Gallup Polls, tRump Presidential average thus far is 47%

I know nothing about how their polls are run. I have never been contacted for a polling except one Nielsen sent to me a year or so ago. That's only about radio and tv - I haven't even owned a tv for approx. 20 years. I just laughed and put it in the shredder.

That is propaganda. Trump has turned the MSM into part of their propaganda machine. Just part of authoritarianism. Remember Trump's minions are working on establishing a Russian style fascist oligarchy. They don't worry about the truth. The purpose of DOGE is to shift even more money to the top. They don't worry about the millions of deaths they are and will cause. This will sink in. Just wait.

Extremely concerning that so many in the U.S. seem to think this is cos play, WWE, or a reality show. And, the players aren't adapting their roles, they are still attacking the government now that they are the government, creating shadow enemies, having no concept of leadership. They don't even seem to know how to be despot rulers, just going for annihilation, end days. Horrific, I agree.
