I think that’s indeed one of the big issues with people like that. They surround themselves with yes-men and then start to believe what those yes-men say. And obviously forget that they themselves made it pretty deadly to be a “no-man”.

Trump: “I will, yeah. He liked me.” Trump probably takes that as a compliment.
They certainly used the NSDAP propaganda leaflet. Elections are not about facts, but about generating feelings and giving the masses the idea that only you can and will solve all their problems. There was lots of projecting as well. I just hope this doesn’t cause too much damage to the US and the world. What you got now is a corrupt bunch of criminal oligarchs in charge with largely unchecked power. Elon frightens me more than Trump though. Trump can be played by stroking his ego (like the new secretary general of NATO realises he must do to keep NATO alive). Elon is higher on his new power than he ever was on keto. I think he and the heritage foundation just used Trump as a Trojan horse, with Trump being the populist piper. Imagine what you can do with $450 billion? Who’s going to stop you?
Europe is building up its military, most of them well beyond the NATO limit by now, a few, like Poland, even beyond the USA. If it will be enough when shit hits the fan? I’m afraid not yet, but likely can put up at least something of a fight.
If Putin wins, all hell breaks loose. There can only be peace if Ukraine gets hard guarantees, preferable NATO member. If not, Putin will make peace for now, restore his military and just give it another go. Europe must be able to defend itself as we can’t count on Trump and the US from now on. Both him and Elon seem to have a strong connection to Putin. We also should not be depending any longer on US made weapons.
I’m European, but this weird backwards movement is also gaining traction here, be it not (yet) as extreme as in the USA I think. I’m a straight, old (63), white guy to be honest. I do feel you have the right to live in the body that fits you. You also have the right not to be hassled by others for being trans. More accurate: you should have those rights. I obviously can’t feel exactly what you feel. I do feel sorry that we all end up in a world like this. It’s rewinding roughly 50 years back I think. To me, the world seems insane: truth is irrelevant, money buys everything, science and knowledge are something to make fun off. Decency is dead. I can imagine why you feel that way. Still, I have hope that one day there will be a counter movement. Back to the sanity, decency, behaving like a human being again. I can’t ask you to stick around to help that to happen. I hope you do. Don’t leave us alone with these ruthless monsters. Take care. I do wish you all the best.
I don’t get why they even bother? Just fabricate it with AI? None of the cult will ever believe it’s fake anyway.
Well, I guess Canada has no choice then, right? And we Europeans need to sell Greenland. And Panama has to give back the channel. I guess he is in his “art of the deal” mode of starting high so we all grovel to limit the damage. Can’t we as the last free countries not band together against these fascists?
