In all of my life I have never seen anyone hate their own country the way that trump does.
hatred
Growing up as an #American I was taught to believe America is a melting pot, a Nation of immigrants and #Democracy and rule of law was what we stood for.
I saw cracks in this early on as a teen, I witnessed failures time and time again but collectively we still tried to hold on to this idea, to support it despite not agreeing on many things at times.
We've now elected a #fascist who admires #dictators, has said he shouldn't have left office, has made it clear how little he thinks of #women, #immigrants and anyone who disagrees with him.
His now close friend and surely an advisor, #ElonMusk hates #transgender people. His party rejects the idea that women should have the right to choose much for themselves and the idea that #immigration is what has made America great, is now a distant memory to the majority of my country.
I recall decades ago how the #USA was behind in #education in many ways compared to the rest of the developed world. I can't help but feel in this moment i'm seeing the result of that in action.
When Trump was put in office the first time, much was uncertain. There is no uncertainty now. I cannot say that anyone who voted for him simply voted for #economic reasons alone... His positions, his party, his closest friends and what they all support and stand for clearly is #racist, #transphobic, disrespectful of women and rejects everything America stated we stood for.
I no longer wonder anymore how Hitler, or others ended up in power. I'm living it right now in my own country as a #trans person, as a person who welcomes immigrants, as a person who supports women in their right to choose and as someone who once believed America believed in itself.
The #voters have spoken. The idea of what America has been is clearly dead and what awaits us is more #hatred, #division and #anger on all sides.
Trump's trying to kill the Press now.
"The ex-president continues his dark closing message, also saying that he wouldn’t mind someone shooting the press "

Of COURSE Trump has a "Final Solution" for the USA.

Fmr FLOTUS #MichelleObama is speaking at #KamalaHarris’s rally in #Kalamazoo, #Michigan.
She opened her remarks by invoking the rallying cry she issued at the DNC: “Do Something.” "It's too close for my liking," she said of the race. “I came out here to Michigan because I am someone who takes her own advice to heart. I know that if we want to help this country finally turn the page on the #politics of #hatred & #division. We can’t just sit around & complain. No, we’ve got to: #DoSomething!”
Is it not obvious #Netanyahu and the #zionists are the modern #antisemites?
Isn’t it obvious they are intentionally stoking #international #hatred of #jewish people who just want to go about their lives in #peace.
This, is the pot calling the kettle black:
** The prime minister closed his speech with a scathing critique of the United Nations, describing it as a “house of darkness” where antisemitism and hypocrisy reign.**
“Truth” sounds like an epithet coming from his lips.
Sure, #womensrights are under attack in the #USA but if you go back 350 years you'll find levels of deranged sadistic #misogyny and #women #hatred that we will just no way, no way return to....

So I was wondering what version of the Ten Commandments that Louisiana was wanting to post in classrooms. Was it the original Hebrew version? The Protestant version? The Catholic version? What?
I got answers. And yeah, it was as bigotted against Catholics and Jews as I figured. #bigotry #hatred #louisiana #tencommandments

For those who worry about polls and the US Presidential race... here is a post where you can track the race to see who is most unpopular (aka 'the race to the bottom').
SPOILER: Biden is leading.
