“Every few months, Americans are asked to resume their banquet and pretend a shooting didn’t just happen,” one commentator on Bluesky wrote after the correspondents dinner. Another account responded: “Well, in fairness, that’s what we ask of school kids.”
Boring and terrifying dystopia.
I‘m German. Sometimes in my childhood I asked myself how could that happen. I asked myself when reading and watching about Hitler and Nazis. Why didn’t people stopped the craziness? Why were just a few standing up against the Nazis? Why were no masses on the street expressing their displeasure?
Today I know why. What I read today about the US reminds on the rise of Nazis in Germany. I hope for you dear US friends that you‘ll find a way out of this mess.
When the rest of the world finally line the entirety of their militaries on our coastline and just start hammering the shit out of us Trump will be in his new bunker under the new ballroom and he'll choke to death on a Big Mac. That's our best chance at the moment.
