I’m not so sure they even want that at all. Simply because of their shameful behavior, while the US president acts like a goddamn Nazi (because he obviously is one, of course).

But for all that, the Democrats have refused to allow even a little progressiveness in their ranks for years, against the wishes of their own voters.

But hey, I don’t know very much about all this because I’m from Germany.

All I can say is that in our country - and this applies to larger parts Europe - Sanders, for example, would be a moderate center-left politician. What he is calling for is not at all radical in many parts of the world, but rather quite normal. Basic decency, so to speak…

Yes, I very much hope so.

Unfortunately, however, I fear that the situation for ordinary US citizens will have to get even worse. That seems to be the prerequisite for Drump’s still frighteningly numerous followers to overcome the sect-like state of mind in which they live in thanks to their apparent lack of intellect and the deliberate misinformation by their own leader and all his greedy cronies.

But yes: perhaps the collapse of the US standard of living, which I believe is inevitable due to this incompetent administration, will be able to perform this miracle.

I think it is high time if anything is to be saved from total ruin.

Well, he is the worst president in US-history…

Then things will soon get very tough, especially for ordinary US citizens and the socially disadvantaged in particular. Trump’s idiotic power games are largely at the expense of US citizens.

This is already evident from the fact that his import tariffs are in principle nothing more than a massive VAT increase.

At the same time, the emigration of intelligent people is piling up.

This is what a failed state does.

Good regulation, very transparent, what could go wrong

Can we see the invoices showing what those $240 million were supposedly spent on?

Was it not this so-called Supreme Court that has already granted the president more rights than a king? How is that supposed to be constitutional in a democratic country?

It seems to me that the constitutional crisis has long since occurred.

I don’t really understand why anyone should appeal to the corrupt judges who are responsible for this. It’s a waste of time, because the outcome of all such attempts is already known in advance.

Or is the plan to buy Thomas & Co. another nice house - or maybe a new boat, or yet another luxurious vacation?

Presumably due to safety regulations imposed by the city council. Just a guess.

I’m already on my way, but only to a small rally in my German hometown. That’s important for us too. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for all the friends we still have in the US and hope for a lively turnout!

Is there actually anything left of a constitutional state in the US?

Yes, that’s true. I’m more concerned with whether US citizens, whose past administrations more or less invented the term, can now recognize for themselves that they are no longer on the side of the “good guys” with this administration at all, but are now the “terrorists” themselves - the very thing that past US administrations denounced (at the time, of course, already completely speciously).

Edit: Trump himself has even brought the term back to a certain extent - and he is not only the personification of evil for the governments of other countries. I just want to make it clear that it’s the same here as with almost everything he does: it’s projection - whatever he accuses others of, he and his corrupt gang are the ones doing it.

Edit 2: Please don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying this because I believe that Europe, for example, would be much better - I’m saying it because I’m from Germany and we have the history that you all know. It’s not too late to put a stop to Trump and his Nazi colleagues, but it will take civil resistance. If there is no vehement resistance, I fear that history will repeat itself. Nobody in their right mind can want that.

Probably not unimportant even for you: the fact that women’s right to self-determination regarding abortions has been effectively abolished in the US. This of course contradicts any civilizational progress and cannot be interpreted as anything other than a severe violation of human rights - I would never have thought that this would be possible in any Western country, but what do I know.

It doesn’t stop there - not by a long shot. I don’t even want to go into the illegal circumstances under which the USA operates a barbaric torture prison in Guantanamo Bay, or the numerous crimes against humanity that the USA has committed over the years. For the moment, let’s stick to the things your fascist government is up to.

The Trump administration’s policies have raised significant concerns regarding human rights both domestically and internationally. Key areas of restriction include:

• Immigration and Asylum Rights: Policies have dismantled protections for asylum seekers, expanded immigration detention, and criminalized immigrant communities. Refugees have been blocked from entry, and asylum applications by undocumented migrants have been banned, violating federal law[1][2][4].

• LGBTQ+ Rights: Executive orders prohibit transgender individuals from serving in the military and deny federal recognition of transgender identities, mandating recognition only of binary sexes[1].

• Birthright Citizenship: Efforts to end birthright citizenship for children of undocumented parents could render many children stateless, affecting access to healthcare, education, and identity documents[1][5].

• Policing and Civil Rights: The administration reinstated “no-knock” warrants and choke holds, increasing risks of police violence disproportionately affecting marginalized communities[2].

• International Human Rights Engagement: Withdrawal from the UN Human Rights Council, defunding UN refugee agencies, and sanctions on the International Criminal Court undermine global human rights frameworks[3][7].

• Humanitarian Aid: Suspension of development aid and humanitarian assistance worldwide impacts vulnerable populations dependent on U.S. support[1][5].

These actions collectively erode protections for marginalized groups and weaken international human rights systems.

And that’s just a glimpse. If you think the US does not suppress human rights you are plain wrong.

Ah yes, the usual patriotism…

That’s why I wrote “…now definitely a rogue state”. Not that there was much of a question before but now it should be obvious even to US-citizens.

You must be male, white, and a US citizen, I assume … and you are obviously ill-informed.

You can’t be serious.

True. But what I mean above all is that the US is now more unpredictable in terms of foreign policy than ever before.
