I’ll be honest with you guys… my wife and I (Australian) had a three-week holiday to America planned for June which I just cancelled last week because I don’t want to give you a single fucking dollar.
We’re going to Japan now instead.
I'm American - you don't want to be here right now. Nobody sane wants to be here right now.
Can't say I blame you.
I don't blame you, I just hope you all remember that this is being done to us by state actors, chiefly the Russians. We've given them the tools to do it with - our freedom of speech and the Internet, but I just hope you understand they are leveraging the stupidest among us to do all of this.
Russians are gonna Russian, but this was done to you by 77 million of your own citizens that voted for the known criminal and traitor, and the millions who didn't bother to vote at all. And many of them are cheering even today.
Russians have been trying this all over Europe and they can't get past 30% in France or 20% in Germany.
The tools are the Republicans slashing education for decades so people stay dumb. Mission accomplished, apparently.
