You are absolutely right, Oliver. I've never been ashamed to be an American until The Dictator Criminal Orange Buffoon Loon Goon Psycho came on the scene--actually back in 2015 or so. The Idiot's first four years was frightening and terrifying. That was bad enough. Now it's 100 times worse (maybe 1,000?). I apologize to ALL of our allies on behalf of us (Democrats) Americans who knew better than to vote for this despicable s..head. Please pray for us--that we don't become a dictatorship lead by the creep we now have in the Oval Office. Hopefully--somehow--this won't last forever. Unfortunately, the Psycho and the muskRAT (and the republoiCRAPS who are scared to death of the Dump) have quite a grip on us. Don't know if WE will ever be free. The USA is now just like Germany was from the 1930's through 1945. Dump is just as bad as that guy was. History repeats itself. Hopefully, THAT history won't happen now.
Thank you for your wise advice yet again, Oliver. The German response to Vance's recent outrageous and hypocritical speech is even more gratifying than when they laughed at his speech to the UN the first time he was president. Nobody I know in America likes or supports any of these tech Nazis, but there are plenty of idol worshipers who do.
Peter Thiel, Elon Musk and David Sachs are all from South Africa and resent the demise of their white privileges under aparthied. They are on a mission to take over ALL western democracies to restore that privilege and rule the world.
If you can translate this recent Ezra Klein interview of Kara Swisher, who has known Elon since the beginning of her career reporting on Silicon Valley, it provides excellent insight into their motives, weaknesses, and how Musk has impacted the Silicon Valley tech culture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xXLycFv5Gc
Peter Thiel rescued Vance's run for the Senate seat he now holds; Vance was at the bottom of the polls until Thiel injected millions into his campaign, so Vance is now a puppet of Thiel, Musk and our orange monkey president.
Hegseth is a nightmare: a drunk, Nazi, and pathetic ignoramus. So very sorry for our government and its Orwellian hypocrisy. Apologies to your government and all democracy loving Germans.
Only 77 million Americans voted for King Tyrant out of 244.7 million eligible voters. About 75 million voted for Kamala Harris. That leaves about 92.7 million people who didn't vote for the orange monkey, far more than voted for him. He has no mandate.
"For years, Silicon Valley elites like Curtis Yarvin have been pushing a blueprint to dismantle American democracy and consolidate power under a Dictator-CEO model. Now, with the 2024 election behind us, this plan is unfolding step by step."
Oliver, many of us are protesting, calling and writing our Representatives, and donating to anti-autocracy causes. I will be marching in 3 days. We need more participants.
DonтАЩt be ashamed to be an American. Be ashamed of Americans like Trump. We need to remain proud of the American democratic values, and continue to fight for them. Be ashamed of SCOTUS. Be ashamed of Aileen Cannon. Be ashamed of Elon Musk, Mitch McConnell, and Lindsay Graham.
I know. Me either. I took it down on Inauguration Day. I had been flying that proudly for well over 25 years. So many tears. Husband is an Army Veteran.
I donтАЩt blame you. Trump and his MAGA party have sullied it, but it will be clean one day again and you will be proud to fly it once again. My father was a Lt in the Army Corps of Engineers in WW2 and fought in Europe. He would be so ashamed about what is happening now.
My father too. First Lt. Navigator in the "Mighty Eighth" AAC (no seperate Air Force then. He always said he was in the "army") based in England. He would be devastated. I'm glad he didn't live to see this.
.......I just received my NO TRUMP SUPPORTES ZONE sign. (Multi-flag stickers.....flags....everything). Will NEVER touch Amazon........still go to Ebay for the used stuff.
The Supreme Corrupt court needs to be aborted and replaced with people whose behavior is subject to ethical standards and thar will be punished for crimes like accepting bribes
Amen to that! The world should know that more Americans than not despise President Felon. But he always plays up how everyone loves him. NOT! HeтАЩs a born liar. Election was rigged. Possible that Musk-rat used his techno kids to change votes in the 7 swing states, or so IтАЩve heard.
Please keep PHONING your red state reps and senator. People who do public advocacy say that this is the most effective high impact way to contact them because every single call is separately logged.
In general, all they care about is getting reelected. When they get a lot of calls day after day, telling them that you are disappointed in them and will not be voting for them unless they do XY or Z, they get worried and they do change their behavior.
Download the free, non profit app 5calls.org to make the whole thing easy and quick. After you put in your zip code, it automatically locates numbers for your elected representatives. It will dial them for you, one after another. You will generally get a voicemail. One woman said that between the time she started to set it up, and finished the 5th call, only 6 minutes had elapsed.
5calls also has scripts and talking points about key issues. Or you can say whatever you choose, or take advice from a pro-democracy group you join with.
If you are from a blue state, or if your reps are doing a good job, it's still important to call. They will be getting flack for it and so they need to know their constituents back them up. And we can also be saying " Great job on the __ vote today, but We need you to __ on this [other issue]."
Thank you for sending emails. You can have a critical impact because your senator sounds like one of the Nazis who have ceded their legislative powers to a known tyrant. I've been advised that the best way to contact elected representatives is to call, and do it every day on a different, specific topic (i.e., do NOT confirm Kash Patel to head the FBI. If he's approved, free speech, a free press, and our national security will be destroyed.) It seems a small thing, but if many do the same it becomes huge. Also recommended to me: go to their office with a group of people if possible, record the visit on your phone, and post it on social media.
JDHitler pulled that speech out of Gobbels garbage can............that was worse than the smell of Diaper Dons bucket full of full/overflowing used Depends!!!!
Keep emailing your senator. I live in Ohio, and sadly all three members of congress are republicons, (including a newly-elected one who used to be a used car salesman who won by following Dumpster in spewing hate and fear against transgender people and immigrants). (Now we have a new lieutenant governor, a washed up former OSU football coach, who probably will end up as the next governor because people in Ohio are stupid with Buckeye fever.)
Start running for those PUBLIC SEATS! We have too many "career politicians" which is NOT how its supposed to be! "We the people" need to be more involved!
Hello Colleen, we in Germany know that Americans are great, creative, interesting people with broad horizons and courageous thinking.
Yes, the panic. I understand.
What helps me: turn off the news, breathe, go for a walk, pet the dog, meditate, do yoga.
Be happy.
Because they want to strangle joy.
Therefore: joy in your life is the most important thing, protect it.
Look at it all like a film, a nightmare that no crime writer could think up.
All the villains in the film have bodies that get sick, marriages that fall apart, children who become drug addicts, fraud and violence in their political job.
Thank you. What a generous response. ItтАЩs hard to find the balance right now. We know that no one is coming to save us, so weтАЩre doing what we can to save our fragile democracy. And figuring out as we go. Thanks again.
I noticed that if I don't watch the news for a few hours, a day, I feel much better. And then there are 20 new sad, worrying topics. I may have missed 5 topics, but that doesn't matter at all.
Yes, nobody can save you, that is your job and you will become stronger because of it.
We can't save you, but we can build up pressure.
The boycotts in Canada are crucial, they will cause the Trump villains unimaginable problems.
Here in Germany, the calls for a boycott are getting louder.
You have to organize it, network it, make it public, encourage people around the world to tell you about the boycott in their country.
There are large pages/groups on Facebook that show how the boycott in Canada is progressing: very impressive!
And if you want to flee: thousands of doors are immediately open for you in Germany :-)
Yesterday here in Meidas, someone in Canada offered you refugee accommodation.
My husband was in Germany in the 80's when he was in the Army. He loved Germany. Thank you for your kind words. Many Americans are so heartbroken, afraid, embarrassed, and angry. But we also have a lot of resolve.
That is humbling. If we can bring him down, I hope trump and his crew are sent to Guantanamo Bay where the terrorists were kept and now he has sent those poor immigrants. Boycott the USA!
Thank you for that advice. I am resisting in the ways that I am able. I am 75. I never thought we would come to this. It breaks my heart. Glory to Ukraine. I hope you all will help them to keep fighting and prevail.
So AnnaMarie, reread what Oliver wroteтАж switch off the news and do other things to distract yourself and find your joy. ThatтАЩll fuel your fighting power when you have joy to defend. Being angry only makes a physical and mental difference to you and probably your family. ThatтАЩs not helping anyone. Please donтАЩt think IтАЩm scolding you, but, my husband is often on his phone for what seems like 24/7 and I have to try to distract him with walks in the countryside otherwise heтАЩs a right pain in the doodah to live with. Completely obsessed with politics both here in the UK and USA.
I admit we have entered a very dodgy era, and I donтАЩt want to ignore it because itтАЩs definitely important to be informed of the world as it changes. We have to keep a balance. Take care ЁЯХКя╕ПЁЯХКя╕ПЁЯХКя╕П
I hear you! I do ride my bike, walk, do yoga and Pilates, spend time with friends and family, then, I pick up my phone, see the latest b s from that orange Mussolini and I see red! I often have to put that phone right back down. It really has a negative effect on my good moods. I have always been an easy going happy person. This administration changes that for me every single day and you are right, we have to pace ourselves with it!
trump has said he was going to pull the US out of NATO. I have been horrified about that, but maybe it would be better for all of you. Then you could bring Ukraine in as a member. Hopefully when we get rid of trump and his fascist Republicans and get our Democracy back, you will let us rejoin.
Know that so many of us here feel the same. We are deeply ashamed. BUT we blame no other country for doing what needs to be done. In fact, we welcome it. This regime must be stopped.
You and yours have every right to be angry with our President and VP. His admiration for Putin and Orban make me wonder if he even cares about our country. Putin is a thug and evil person. There are MAGA people that believe conspiracy that Navalny was a CIA asset - ridiculousness. Please pray for us - this is embarrassing and scary.
I doubt many of those waiting for a tax cut would actually qualify to enjoy one. It seems to me that the tax benefits are for a slim slice of your ultra rich, not regular folk, working or otherwise.
Many of my ancestors were German. My father was half German as his mother was German. I have never been there, but my youngest daughter and granddaughter visited two years ago with a school trip that I paid for. Beautiful country.
Hi Oliver. Thank you for not throwing all Americans under the bus along with felon 47. We appreciate that. YesтАжWe need more voters but ItтАЩs also about voter suppression. felon 47 and his cronies are making sure that we do NOT have free and fair elections. They threaten and scare people at some of the polls when voting. No way he won ALL 7 swing states. Muskrat had something to do with him winning, in my opinion. I donтАЩt know how to fix this. As an American, IтАЩm embarrassed for our country. I hope we can get out from under this train wreck, and SOON!
I don't think the 77 Million cretins have realized yet they made the wrong choice. They all are devoted to Faux news. How would they realize our democracy is being dismantled? They don't have a basic understanding of civics or they don't care because they want the tax cut$.
The only ones who will be getting tax cuts are the billionaires. Those cretins will realize it when there are no college loans for their children and when food and goods are almost too expensive to buy. Also when unemployment goes higher that it has since the Great Depression.
They won't feel the hurt until it hits them directly in the pocketbooks. A little bit too early for that, but wait. It is coming. Tariffs on aluminum will raise the price of anything that comes in a can, i.e., soup, vegetables, fruit, beans, dog food, cat food,spaghetti sauce, sodas, beer. Sooner or later the republicons will come after social security, medicare, medicaid, and the affordable care act.
here in the German press: no more future with USA, our goverment (and all Europe countrys) are very angry
your president destroys your country and Nato better than Putin or China could do
Democrats in USA: stay together
You are absolutely right, Oliver. I've never been ashamed to be an American until The Dictator Criminal Orange Buffoon Loon Goon Psycho came on the scene--actually back in 2015 or so.

The USA is now just like Germany was from the 1930's through 1945. Dump is just as bad as that guy was. History repeats itself. Hopefully, THAT history won't happen now.
for historians, this part of US history will be very interesting.
What Trump and his followers forget (yes, our press calls them religious followers): everything changes.
So far, every dictatorship has collapsed.
The followers and yes-men are psychologically very interesting.
Encourage the whistleblowers.
People are getting restless all over the country...
Jean, one more comment:
The fact is: the power of Trump and his entourage is big.
They are following a plan (Project 2025) and that involves taking over the country at breakneck speed.
They want to provoke an uprising and then tie the country down with military action.
So: be smart, use Meidas and the many other video bloggers cleverly.
Use the international network with Europe, Mexico, Canada.
Stay relaxed and observe closely, prepare yourself for a long, rocky road,
don't panic.
Time is working for you.
Trump is sick in mind and body, his days are numbered.
edit again :-)
They are unprofessional and amateurish, they make more mistakes than progress.
Use that.
They have errors in their thinking in their plan/analysis, they underestimate the power and longing for freedom.
Use that.
Thank you for your wise advice yet again, Oliver.

Hello Oaktown, thank you very much for this very (!) interesting answer!
Yes, i understand english (if i dont understand a word i use dictionary).
This video will be very intersting, i will watch it later. I mark the video and your comment so i find it later again.
Yes, the Nazis from South Africa, a very central point! Our press have made interessting analises about it.
How South Africa dont want the Starlink and Musk is angry about that. He spreads lies about South Africa and Trump will make tariffs etc
This Nazi subject (Hegseth!) is crucial, observing the conflict with South Africa is important.
And thats the reason why they support the Nazis in Europe, you mentioned it precise.
Our press and goverment monitoring that precise and they do their homework.
Thanks again for your infos and the movie!
Peter Thiel rescued Vance's run for the Senate seat he now holds; Vance was at the bottom of the polls until Thiel injected millions into his campaign, so Vance is now a puppet of Thiel, Musk and our orange monkey president.

Laughing publicly is the best weapon against these tyrants. Their egos are more fragile than they look.
Kara Swisher addresses your astute observation and much more in the Ezra Klein interview referenced earlier. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xXLycFv5Gc)
You mean they really think, plan, and analyze? they are just plain stupid.
Curtis Yarvin is their brain trust, yikes, what a pompous a$$.
Oliver, many of us are protesting, calling and writing our Representatives, and donating to anti-autocracy causes. I will be marching in 3 days. We need more participants.

My Dad too. He was in the Big Red One, very proud to be fighting for our freedom in Europe in WWII.
I have friends who are married to men who served in Viet Nam. They are very upset with the Orange Turd and his minions as well.
I agree with Oaktown. Most of us in the USA DO NOT Support this facist regime.
My father too. First Lt. Navigator in the "Mighty Eighth" AAC (no seperate Air Force then. He always said he was in the "army") based in England. He would be devastated. I'm glad he didn't live to see this.
Fly the flag upside down.........USA is majorly stressed
IтАЩm putting a тАЬSad Dictators DayтАЭ sign in front yard. WouldnтАЩt mind having Mexican, Canadian, Panamanian, Palestinian flags as well.

This is one time I wish I could have a flagpole. So I could fly mine upside down.
I am very ashamed of all of them. I hope that we can have our own version of the Nuremberg Trials.

I truly believe that the RAT , rigged the election and will continue his regime indefinitely. He has the technology to rig every election
Absolutely!
And thatтАЩs really scary!!
So sad but your quite right, but what can we do, My state glows red, I send 10 emails to a senator with no guts, what to do.
Please keep PHONING your red state reps and senator. People who do public advocacy say that this is the most effective high impact way to contact them because every single call is separately logged.

I doubt many of those waiting for a tax cut would actually qualify to enjoy one. It seems to me that the tax benefits are for a slim slice of your ultra rich, not regular folk, working or otherwise.
Hello neighbor :-) albeit around a few corners :-)
yes, we know how wonderful Americans are.
We make a clear distinction between the government and the citizens.
We are so grateful to America for everything you have done for us,
our history books are precise.
You must have a high voter turnout next time!

(i put the following also at the beginning of the comments, because it is crucial)
A suggestion if you are overwhelmed by the flood of sad information.
If you don't know what topic you should be concerned with, what topic you should be involved in.
Observe what the military is doing in all the noise.
Look at the steps Trump is taking with the military:
How he is firing indomitable people, black people and women, taking out DEI.
How he will build a loyal military, because that will be crucial after the uprising.
Yes, thatтАЩs another thing weтАЩre afraid of
I don't think the 77 Million cretins have realized yet they made the wrong choice. They all are devoted to Faux news. How would they realize our democracy is being dismantled? They don't have a basic understanding of civics or they don't care because they want the tax cut$.

You are absolutely right about SNAP. How could I forget that one?
That is one of the favorite ones to cut first. Deprive families living in poverty of food.
