I cannot believe what I’m watching.

 

With AG Merrick Garland and the philosphy of "Look Forward, Not Backward", I'm not optimistic

 

We are watching German live coverage rn, my girlfriend only managed to mutter in disbelief: but..this is the United States..?

We grew up in the 90s. My dad, born 1954, always told me as a child: no matter what anyone tells u, be happy we lost the war, we live in democracy thanks to the US.

I am so shocked. Fuck.

 

Coup it is then

 

they’re showing people just covered in blood on the networks. wtf

 

send everyone a "you'll die in your sleep" chain letter

 

This is fucking horrifying

 

Hm. Go read about slavery, Jim Crow, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq. We aren't exactly the harbingers of freedom.

 

Americans usually watch this stuff happen in other countries are are like "wow, how does that happen"

 

Right wing violence with the full support of law enforcement.

 

This has been the dream of the white power movement for the last 4 or 5 decades and the US government has been well aware of it. Instead if addressing it, we've spent trillions bombing people halfway across the world. This country has allowed this to happen and are now facing the consequences

 

Yeah I am unsure on how you put the genie back in the bottle now.

 

He finally made it in.

 

I highlighted what symbolic meaning the US has..or had..for post-war Germany.

Rep Adam Kinzinger (R) on NBC calling Trump a coward, saying "this shouldn't surprise anyone, it was all over Parler"

 

Cops remain the pettiest of petty assholes.

 

Anybody ask Stacey Abrams what she knows about crowd control?

 

This dude gonna go to jail or what.

 

They need to remove Trump from office immediately because of all of this. He called for this knowing how dangerous the situation would become. He needs to be arrested and prosecuted.
