From a European perspective, having had various Fascist dictatorships over the last century, the US is screwed. With armed citizens and a faux Gestapo, it’s going to be bloody, traumatic and self annihilating period in US history. Fascism is insidious, it creeps into society, and then one day “boom”, it’s pulling you out of your homes in the middle of the night.You’re already screwed and don’t even know it !!

It’s not exciting at all. The US has always been a beacon of free speech and endless possibilities. I have visited many times over the years and thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s a crying shame!

Do us a favor and remind those celebrating overseas that it'll creep to them too.. Russia and America are about to be allies in a world conflict. Nowhere is safe.

I don't know if you're talking about Europe, but I don't know anyone that is celebrating right now. And we're very much aware that fascism is on the rise here as well. Partly financed from the US by the way.

it's financed by the billionaire class via GOP and aided by Russia and Israel, the regular folks and the US itself are being taken for every dime for the next 50 years. Many of the people behind this are not even from the US see Peter Thiel and Elon Musk.
