    It’s fucked up how normal (and I say this loosely) and unsurprising this actually sounds in today’s world.

    If you told me a couple years back that America would openly turn fascist, I would have said you’re batshit crazy.

      I studied history and have been telling people this for over a decade but most people think I’m batshit crazy.

      For the rest of us, we’ve seen it coming for about 25 years. And we kept telling you.

      You got belligerent and started waving your flags harder.

      Now you tell us to “worry about your own country” when we say we told you so.

        The ones who say to worry about your country are the ones here who saw this for decades as well and are trying to tell you we see the same shit starting all over the place over seas. If you act like you are above it, the same shit will happen to you all. Alot of us unfortunately didnt fight hard enough when we needed to due to thinking most people here weren’t as stupid as they are and we are now pretty much fucked. Don’t repeat our mistake thinking you have less idiots in your countries, the rot starts beneath the surface first just because you think you’ve cleaned the surface doesnt mean the infestation isnt festering below. Don’t be like us, be 100 times more proactive.
