You know that Trump absolutely wants to put his face on the Statue of Liberty.
Fake news, trump’s tits are missing.
They're too busy holding press conferences or trying to corkscrew deeper into his rancid ass meat.
I don't wanna risk getting hopeful before the empire and tyrant are properly toppled...but I am feeling more hopeful now than when he was first elected.
I could use some optimism so may I ask why?
Last time Trump was elected, the world (particularly America's allies) said a lot about how awful he was but didn't do anything to hurt him seriously.
When he won again, knowing he had the Project 2025 folks as part of his new regime, I feared the same would happen. That as he ground down the American people, the rest of the world would talk big but do nothing. Nations the world over have a bad habit of only intervening when you hurt people outside your own borders. So long as he hurt only people inside the US, nobody would want to turn off the US money printer.
But this time he stepped outside US borders, too quickly and too rashly with his tariffs. Nationstates may be slow to act, but the people of those Nations are acting faster. Boycotts, rally around the flag effects, backlash against right leaning groups previously aligned with Trump.
It's not much, it won't break the American empire by itself. But it's more than I expected to happen, so I'm hoping it is just the start.
