@luckytran People need to stop dicking around with elections.
#Americans have to choose to step up and stop being whiny little brats who don't know how their own government works.
Voting every four years doesn't change out the whole government.
They don't know that.
#idiots

#listentowomen
#electwomen
And stop elevating mediocre white men like Zuckerberg, Bezos, and Rogan.

@dangillmor The United States excels at stupid and tacky.
It's too bad that millions of #Americans are illiterate about their own country, and own government and how it works in real life.
Too many people think voting every four years changes out the whole government.
It doesn't.

#Trump always managed to avoid consequences
Many #Americans REALLY believe
that #Putin did not interfere (despite all the evidence)
in the 2016 #election to favor Trump
The 'Russia, Russia, Russia' worked
MANY Americans REALLY believe (despite all the evidence)
the election was 'stolen'
repeating 'I WON' worked
But it seems that to repeat
'it was Obama'
somehow does NOT work so well to make Americans forget
that Trump is a #rapist and a #pedophile
even so...
does it matter for the MAGAs ?

Continued thread

"So, when he [Trump] boasts that other countries are going to pay higher #tariffs than the #UnitedStates, what he’s really saying is that👉 #Americans will now be taxed more heavily than their trading partners.👈

This will soon begin to show up either in price rises & thus reduced consumption, or lower profits & thus reduced investment. Either way, the #US faces a substantial further drag on its already slowing growth."

Continued thread

Then there's this:

" The Trump administration has justified those tariffs by claiming a lack of co-operation on stemming the flow of illicit drugs like fentanyl. Canada denies that, noting about 1% of US fentanyl imports originate in Canada. It has also brought in new border protections and a "fentanyl czar" in recent months in an effort to address Trump's concerns. "

#Canada / #MarkCarney needs to start responding to the ridiculous #fentanyl claim by pointing out all drugs and guns coming into Canada from the #US / #USA.

We #Canadians all know this from experience, but #Americans are ignorant at best, delusional at worst, about their negative impact on the rest of the world.

I think I'm going to get rid of my #facebook. None of my friends ever talk to me, or like my posts or anything. I'll post something positive, like I just got bumped a level in Norwegian or how cool NRK is, nothing. But if I post something bad about #trump or whatever. It's just not fun. Too many angry #americans, temu vikings and propaganda. I want more positivism in my life.

Where are the revolutions in the streets? Why are #americans putting up with this?

The French put it well; "Americans are afraid of their gov't, our gov't is afraid of us."

Your country is turning into the former USSR. People being rounded up and thrown in foreign gulags can't be tolerated.
