@jgivoni respectfully, you must accept that the rot within the US runs far deeper than "Trump and his fascist pack" from our point of view.
Understand that we don't hate the American PEOPLE (well, not the two thirds of them that are not fascists at least), we feel sorry for them...watching their country as they have known it disintegrate is unimaginable! But also understand this: the US has suffered a broad, systemic sociopolitical breakdown, and "voting the bums out" will not be the end of the problems, it is merely the first step in a healing process that could take many years, decades even, to fully sort out.

I don't know if Americans realize what happened between the US and Denmark.
No matter whom I listen to, the feeling is the same: Our bilateral relationship is dead.
I grew up in a country filled with gratitude towards The US, because of The Normandy Landings. The US was loved.
The feeling now is anger. Our Kingdom has been threatened twice in 100 years: Hitler's occupation and Trump's attempted annexation of Greenland.
It saddens me, but I sense this will not easily be forgotten.
@randahl It should not be forgotten. That this has happened so quickly and with no real resistance from the US political sphere shows the US government is not trustworthy and any pretence to 'special relationships' is a farce.
Their own constitution is not worth the paper it is written on.We have to operate on those principles.

The orange one is just the puppet for the Republican Party/Project 2025.
Yes, his mental decline and overall madness adds to it, but it will only get worse when he's gone...
To get this shit-show fixed you have to get rid of the Republicans (party and those who voted for them).@ePD5qRxX @feather1952 Indeed. What is needed should have occurred during the Civil War. Rather than execute every motherfucking confederate, they stupidly allowed for their transition and education. Cancer doesn't learn. Nazism is cancer. We have the receipts from WWII. The GOP is the modern day confederacy and is worth no more than cancer is worth to any one or any thing.

It's sad and infuriating from our side, too. Our democracy is dead. Our system of checks and balances is dead. So although something like 90% of Americans polled were strongly against attacking our friends and allies, there was somehow no way to stop this travesty. I blame everyone in DC. I am confident we'll get our democracy back. But the loss of our allies is permanent. It's tragic. My silver lining is this: ironically, America alone doesn't need to be armed to the teeth anymore.

of course, I agree with you. the USA must win back the trust of the world through actions for the common good. this racist insane fascist regime must be vanquished first.

@randahl Unfortunately, I believe that most people in the USA don't know what is going on in the relationship between the USA and Europe. If they have an inkling, they probably don't know most of it.
Americans that are just watching regular news and are not actively looking for neutral information... are inundated with propaganda about the greatness of Trump.
Case in point the recent Fox News coverage of Trump at Davos where he soundly defeated the EU.... ... ..
Fox News is poison. That is the intentional content.

@randahl More or less same here in France. But I fear our own ruling class, as well as being angry at the US, is in the same time taking notes. Many many politicians here are eager to implement most of Trump's nazi politics.

@kristen_d I wish you all the best and lots of energy for a fight that will take years.

@randahl hear the same in Belgium (center of the EU), less so as we weren't the direct victim, but before nobody would talk bad against US.
Now everyone call them Lazy, Traitor etc

to the point one day you will have people that simply ignore US when they talk (like Russia today).

I’m just waiting for his next brain fart, because you know it’s coming.
General Bone Spurs is consistent with his idiocy if nothing else.@feather1952 @randahl hey, hey, don't start promoting him, its Cadet Bone Spurs.

I understand why Europeans are rightfully angry at the United States, and this will be a generational break. I wish more people like you were talking about the advance of Nazism in Europe, though, because the same movement that staged the coup in the United States is at work in Europe.
It's a mistake to focus too much energy on foreign threats, big though it is, because the fascists will use that fear in their own campaign to take over your countries.

@jawarajabbi @randahl We in the #USA also not only do not resent that #Denmark stood up to our vile regime, we thank you for doing so. Your courage helps us by weakening the regime.

@randahl If we ever get out of this somehow, I really really hope the world does *NOT* forget. Make us hurt. Make us remember what we did. Make us remember that we have let it get this far and probably further still.
-
@randahl And we/they should be. I can only hope with 100% power that the ones who can actually do something against that idiot will actually DO SOMETHING and not suck up to DonOld again when the going gets a bit rougher.
I'm always looking for ways to reach politicians and ask them/urge them to act.
> ones who can actually do something against that idiot will actually DO SOMETHING
Like there was so much German resistance against Hitler.
The US is no exception (the feeling of exceptionalism notwithstanding). As a rule dictatorships it takes countries more than a decade to get over a streak of authoritarianism, and rarely by organized resistance. Trump still has a 30% approval rating. That's an indicator for a good outcome mid-term.

@yunchtime @randahl Jup... my point was that loads of Americans only watch Fox or only watch XYZ.. i.e. they have no idea about what's really going on.
