Dear Ukraine, Canada, Mexico, Greenland and Panama,
Donald Trump doesn't represent the people of the United States. Donald Trump represents Donald Trump. Period.
If that was supposed to make us feel better it doesn't . Sorry.
Nope. Just want to have the rocks thrown at the right target.
Donald Trump represents the United States. Until you have deposed him, strung him up from an Esso garage on the edge of a city square, or just voted him out, he represents all the people of the US. He is your president.
When Britain was faced with Nazi Germany, it was of no use for Britons to remember that Hitler did not represent the people of the Reich, and that there were some nice Germans.
Today, your country is an existential threat to mine. Period.
@NovaNaturalist @Wileymiller @SnowshadowII it's awfully hard for us "good Americans" to accept the results of our actions. And recognize that this failure is indeed ours personally. Even if we voted for Harris. We still all massively failed.
@colo_lee @NovaNaturalist @Wileymiller @SnowshadowII thank you for saying this, Lee! it’s hard, and adds insult to injury for anyone who tried to stop him, but unfortunately, on some level also true…
@kdw btw, we're totally with you! And we're grateful to those who were fighting. In a way it's also our failure as we weren't approaching enough right-leaning people online and changing their minds.
The upshot is that we have to keep fighting and victory is possible. Do not despair! If you want to chat a bit about some details about how you can make a difference, we can chat on Signal (everything is legal and non-violent). If you have some initiatives you are taking part in, I would also love to know about those to coordinate the efforts of the group I am a part of.
