Technically it is open if you're paying in Chinese Yuan 😂

brainrot through social media / smartphones, coupled with propaganda.

We have the brainrot already in Europe - if our propaganda were as strong, we'd be just as bad, sadly.

Yep we know. Please send help. Heavily armed help.

Don’t forget congress is complicit too. They choosing to let this happen.

They're not even beginning to understand. They still think we're winning. :(

The idea that Hitler was some sort of genius supervillain is a myth mostly propagated by movies and video games. It’s a shame, because I think this notion made it more difficult for many people to understand what trump was as he was clawing at power.

In reality, Hitler was an incompetent moron, and the similarities with trump are uncanny.

And a large portion of Germans also felt that hitler was a moron, surrounded by sycophantic morons and kakistocrats.

Actualt as the nazi party never won the majority of seats the us is actually more complainant to the current regime.

Barely 1 ply. It’s falling apart at the slightest touch to ass.

American voted for this to happen. And remain at 40% approval of the guy.

"Americans have a duty to make this not happen."

What does this even mean? Shall I go throw molotov cocktails at my local California city hall - a city hall full of people that oppose what Trump is doing?

People need to understand that the United States of America is the third largest country by landmass in the world. We have massive protests here, and a huge one is going to happen next weekend... But it won't force Trump to do, or refrain from doing, anything on the world stage.

Our government is completely captured by a single party that is both very stupid, and very evil. We have a way out of this in November, but only if the GOP doesn't successfully upend democracy in that election.

Until then, the grand majority of Americans that want this to end are in the same boat as any and all foreigners that want it to end. Our "power" is only available in election cycles.

The next election is predicted to be a blood bath for Trump, too. He's the most unpopular president in living memory right now.

This feels more “Full Netanyahu” to me. Putin is calculating and cold. Netanyahu seems to have a flair for cruelty.

I think this is Trump. He hears the footsteps coming, so he's getting desperate, and doing anything he can to stop the inevitable.

It does not need to be fake photos. The financial cost is real, a trump is blatant about his family corruption.

Even if there was a media campaign the USA is a controlled media, so it wouldn’t be shown, if it did people would either forgive it because USA is always a winner attitude or they would disassociate blame AI etc.

You had citizens being shot and that was not enough to provoke a turn around.

I kinda wonder why Iran isn't pushing a lot harder to manipulate public opinion.

They do. I have seen public statements by Iranian officials, and even memes (mostly AI), here on lemmy.

But they're mostly in Parsi and Arabic, since that's the audience they care about. Iran is trying to end the US threat against them, which probably means removing US bases in the Middle East and getting the Gulf powers on their side. So they don't talk about rising fuel prices, they talk about Palestine, the massacre of the schoolgirls, and freedom in general.
