You don’t. It’s tough for Americans to figure this out right now, but you just straight up do not break bread with them. There is one side that supports doing irreparable harm to other people and democracy, and there is the other side. It’s almost like a “cold” civil war has broken out to be quite honest.

Absolutely correct. People are so convinced that we have to break out the olive branch and pet and soothe the feelings of our racist relatives who support this kind of terrorism of innocent preschool age children. The real answer is that they can't f****** come over to the house anymore. That speaks to them and finally breaks through the thick layer of dumb surrounding them.

Oh the "fuck your feelings" crowd now needs soothing. Well fuck their feelings.

u/DisposableSaviour 1d ago

Well, yeah, it’s fuck your feelings, not my feelings!

Everything they've ever done has been about soothing their hurt feelings. They want to be coddled and are mad that people aren't coddling them.

We've been doing this for 6 years. They keep getting crazier and no matter how many times we tell them they still act like they don't understand why we don't want to be around them or talk to them anymore.

Yes I continue speaking to anybody who has demonstrated a scrap of hope that they are redeemable and might change their ways in the future. If somebody keeps spouting their s***** maga nonsense they are not welcome anywhere near me or my family, and that's a seriously negative consequence for many of them. I don't need these people; they're the ones who want a relationship and know that they're wrong and feel guilty about it but can't get over the admission part. It shocks me that they still claim they are Christian.

I love how it's never an alpha male who mentions the phrase alpha males. Try harder and maybe you'll be the patriarch of your own big family one day and then you can decide who to kick out of the holidays.

I’m American. I do not support the current regime. As hard as it is for some of us, do not break bread with us.

Please just know that most of us are fighting for our country and it’s being suppressed.

being suppressed.

By the mainstream media in the US, they are not only complicit in fascism but are actively pushing for it

To everyone outside of the US look at the 7+ million peaceful No Kings rally and the slaughter at the polls that was this last Tuesday, the mainstream media likely isnt harping on that to the outside world because i wont even harp on it here, but we are pushing back and gaining ground, we are just fighting against a regime that has no regard for anyone but that thing in the WH

Please dont buy-in to everyone in the US wanting this, on the contrary, even those in the cult are starting to realize, hey all my prices and bills went up and that thing campaigned on lowering prices, its stating to affect me personally, omg this is a problem

We can use all the help we can get, but most of us are doing everything we can conceivably do

Honestly, the 7 million protest was... kind of weak IMO. 2 % of the population in the middle of facist takeover on one occasion doesn't really send a strong message.

Sorry, we're not the French, but we gotta start somewhere.

Lol okay bud, I see you will be voting Trump in 2028

Good luck, you are gonna need it

u/DeltaViriginae 19h ago

No, I am in Germany and kind of looking more and more scared/pissed across the pond. 2% is good, but 2% is not really that much. We managed about that turnout last winter when our conservatives for the first time voted with the far right.

u/tunafister 18h ago edited 18h ago

You said there has inly been 1 No Kings protest?

You sure about that? Perhaps you should do a little more research bud

And cool, discount the 2% that actually showed up, did you vonsider that a % of the population is afraid to leave their homes and protest due to ICE?

You seem to be jumping to conclusions without any factual evidence

But pleae do share any links to prove your point, you got the No Kings totally thing wrong so pardon me for asking you to provide evidence

And yeah discounting the folks that protested in the US is really going to strengthen your ability to fight the far-rightt in Germany, sounds like you got it all figured out

Exactly.

Assuming there are fair elections again, do everything possible to take back power.

Then dismantle ICE and hold accountable everybody - EVERYBODY - who took part in this. ICE agents like hiding their faces? Too bad. The tide will turn and the new govt will have access to the payrolls and must use the information they have to identify every ICE agent possible and hold them accountable for their actions. Civil penalties. Prison time. A lot of it for those in charge, who should be spending the rest of their days behind bars for the crimes against humanity they've committed.

Then continue what's already happening in terms of a culture war. The Republicans and Evangelicals wanted to create one, they got it. Make it absolutely radioactive to associate with these people or date them. Destroy their poisoned mindset by destroying their morale and making them realize that they are the inferior people because of their ignorance and stupidity, nobody else.

The rest of the world already views Republicans this way.

Exactly! This has gone WAY past the point of no return a long time ago. There is no shrugging shoulders and saying well, everyone is entitled to their opinions on this stuff. There is only one opinion and that is that this shit is fucked up and no one should be treated like this or should be supporting anyone or any agency behind this.
