Ok. No I thnk to me the US is not even a option for holidays currently. When the US understands that all their wealth is based on freedom, not from giving priviledges to some ethnic part or to the rich, then the US will maby come back as an option to me.
Currently the US seems like insecure 3rd world to me.
It's a slippery slope for sure. I remain optimistic about some of the current direction away from DEI and illegal immigration, etc... but I do worry about the next administration reversing some/all of our current progress.
Still, I think the news paints a picture that the whole of the US is in shambles, when the worst of it is localized to a few key cities...
The potential here to maximize individual liberty is indeed where the value is.
Ok. I rather worry about this administration. This administration seems to be creating problems instead of solving it.
Never seen such a obvious thief being a president and a population which defends this theft.
Seems a very left take.
Borders are now closed.
Tariffs are bringing in revenue.
Several wars have been settled.
Hell, they even made a bitcoin reserve.
Now don't get me wrong, I see Trump's shortcomings as well as anybody, but consider our alternative.
Biden vaxxed millions with the threat of their jobs and kids schooling.
Biden oversaw the worst inflation we've seen since the 70s.
Biden let in 20 million illegal immigrants, and lost 300k children to sex/child trafficking cartels.
The Biden administration was likely the most corrupt administration we've ever witnessed. His family enriched themselves on his political connections for 50 years.
I see Trump as implementing several common sense policies that will improve my families quality of life over the next few years.
Also, generally, Americans don't like foreign entanglements. Tough trade is good for us. Making NATO countries contribute more is good for everyone.
Now... does Trump talk like a complete dolt? Yup. Sometimes its so cringe I have to laugh.
Does he enrich himself off the office? Probably...though I'm not sure what the current allegations against him are...
His shitcoinery is lame, unethical even, but not illegal.
Love him or hate him, we can probably agree that his presidency is/will be the most consequential for over 100 years.
My bet is that things get better, not worse. What else can I ask for? 🤷♂️
I think we live in very different realities. I thinkrump knows his voters best:
“I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters.”
Trump does not cover his bad behaviour. But this does not make him any better of a person. But it clearly makes his voters and supporters partners in crime.
He is disabeling the separation of powers, pushing the government to violate human rights, disrespecting court orders, disrespecting the independence of the FED, disrespecting the foundation of wealth in the US (universities and the school system). I think trump will help to split up the US. I do not think the US will still exist in 10 years as one union. I bet on a separation into two states.
One poor nation and one free nation.
Never bet against the US. Or our core values. Strongest around.
The left is dying. Don't feed it. Socialism is for cucks.
I love that he disrespects the universities and climate weirdos... and NATO.
The courts, at the behest of several prominent leftist politicians and foreign interests have over stepped their bounds.
Trump is right to stop mail-in voting (democrat cheating). He's right to cut millions of fraudulent names from social security. He's right to deport illegal criminals.
More human rights atrocities were committed at our border over the last 4 years than Trump will ever cause.
The US is getting stronger. Not weaker. Socialism is becoming a dirty word again (thank god). Prices are down. Businesses will get needed breaks and manufacturing may even come back.
Thinking the states will separate is short-sighted and likely comes from youtube commentary, not reality.
The left is mad. Real mad. They will try their best to protest and break shit. They always do. But they are ultimately weak and dont have the power of the populace behind them. Their cause is fading.
When I consider the worst of Trump, I think of my tax dollars arming Isreal, or the hiding if the Epstein files from the US people..
But then I remember, that's what they've all done.
Sometomes I ask myself, How could anyone choose Biden/Kamala for anything? I wouldn't let them scrub my toilets.
I think it has to do with a twisted sense that hurting ourselves will make thr world better. Americans are sick of hurting ourselves for the world. It's time to clean house.
The US dollar is broken. But so is all fiat. Trump wants to print like never before. That debasement is awful.
And then I remember, oh yeah, they all do that.
Trump derangement syndrome is real. Don't fall for the fake news. America is about to blast off.
Yes I think only you can help yourself to see the world how it is. No outside power will or can change you.
Most of the times wrong analysis have no direct consequences, when it is about the bigger picture.
I just see how the US got to more surveillance with Trump, not less. More separation not less. More authoritarianism not less.
And all this is not good, when it happs at other places in other times as well.
Well, I'm glad you see so clearly from Switzerland what I cannot from inside.
🤣
I don't know own a single American, poor or rich, that would trade what they have for a European dystopia.
Interesting article. Is this what you're upset about?
What do you mean by “European dystopia”? Are you referring to Russia invading Ukraine, or the loss of freedoms in Hungary? Just curious.
No. I wasn't.
So what where you referring to?
