49.8% of voting #Americans chose #Trump as their president in 2024.

54.19% of voting #Crimeans chose Ukrainian independence as their future in 1991.

Proportionally, more Crimeans chose to be #Ukrainian than Americans chose Trump.

The #MAGA cult has voluntarily estranged itself from the ‘normies’ in their own marriage and/or family, not to mention traditional #Americans that honor the #UnitedStates #Constitution.

Like any cult member anywhere throughout #history they lack self-awareness and believe that the #normies are the #weird ones. Sad.

#ResistanceGenealogy as well as sad family stories such as ⬇️ will record who was who.

The Kyiv Independent · Most Americans say US losing global credibility under Trump, poll showsBy Martin Fornusek

#SVT reporter from #Africa
With the end of the #USAID the health care in Africa will suffer and at the same time there will be #ccp #China and #nazi #russia who will try to take over the influence of Africa.

The #Americans in Africa are trying to sell off their stuff before flying to #USA but the sales may not go that well as the product they have are difficult to repair as no spare parts.

President Trump går uppför flygplansramp med amerikanska sigillet i bakgrunden.
SVT Nyheter · Analys: ”USA:s flyttbil packas allt snabbare i Afrika”Enligt läckta uppgifter vill Donald Trump stänga en rad ambassader i Afrika. Om det stämmer är det ännu ett steg mot en alltmer sårig skilsmässa. Eller som Trump möjligen ser det, han vill inte längre betala för gemensam vårdnad om kontinenten.

I saw videos on the costs of the 'grocheries' in #US
I must say that they are not so different from the costs of the #EU

The real difference lies in:
Minimum Wage
in medical costs
in working conditions
in working instability
the lack of rights and protection of workers
and in the 'hidden' #taxes that #Americans pay without knowing it
If '#trump #tariff - #inflation - #social security cut- State financial help cuts ecc
are added to this ...

> Looting will soon begin at National level in US

@rbreich This was the first of these vids I watched in its entirety. #Reich finally took baby steps out of academia and into reality. He mentioned Concord and Lexington. I believe that's where #Americans are at this point. On the other hand, #RachelBitecofer posits only 25% of Americans are really engaged. Per my view, the vast majority of Americans just want cheap beer, a team to cheer and a group to hate. We need more pain in the system. I'm not turning my swords into plowshares just yet.
