    How can you possibly think you are on the right side of things as you call in a bomb threat on a school?

    I just don’t understand how these people can think their tactics are morally justified.

    USA politics are truly something to behold.

    It’s too hard to accurately put into words how it looks from the outside.

    The closest would be that it’s an absolute joke and the whole world laughs at you.

      I don’t know anyone laughing though. I do know a lot of people that look at it and worry. The blatant lying, the calls to violence, the open fascism, cult like following… If this tips the wrong way, the children of the future will be learning about jan6 and what is to come like we learn about the night of the long knifes.

      The example Trump is teaching the whole world is that there are no consequences if you just double down and keep saying insane shit while throwing your weight around. And even federal judges will bend for you à

        I know a lot of people who laugh at it, but then again, I’m not from the US.

        And Trump isn’t really teaching the world anything. If he’s teaching anything it’ll be how the US allows this dumpsterfire.

          As people in countries from Brazil to India can tell you- this is not a U.S. problem. It’s a right-wing populism problem.

    Wouldn’t it be great if people in US reject this divisive asshole and were no longer agitated by random bs they here from people on tv?

    I wish I could blame this one on Trump, but neo-Nazi crazies have been stoking this fire for a long time. And, honestly, good ol’ racism has been doing its work on this one from the beginning.

    Trump only latched onto it recently, thanks to that Nazi vampire Laura Loomer

    Edit: I apologize for being unclear— Trump is a monster and obviously responsible for the spreading of this lie. I was merely trying to speak to the rumor’s provenance and was very clumsy in my speech. I’m sorry.

      I was talking to my 90 year old grandfather recently if the political climate has ever been this bad. He responded. “No, its never been this bad. Trump is an incendiary.”

      Trump absolutely takes a lot of blame in this. He heard something he thought would benefit him and repeated it tot the masses like it was fact.
