Meanwhile I am learning to dislike my fellow Americans to the point where I am starting to think violence might be the only viable solution.
Because it is. Trump must stop breathing once and for all.
Lmao
Where is the line for enemies separating you from your allies so they will not be there when you need them?
You mean MAGAts hate our allies. Decent humans love other decent humans.
You do see the rise on the Democrats line too, no?
Well, it is a “sin” to emphasize with others.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP repeatedly claims that the European Union was “formed in order to screw the United States”. Canada, America’s northern neighbour and second-largest trading partner, is “one of the nastiest countries”. Russia was “doing what anyone would do” when it bombed Ukraine’s energy infrastructure during a pause in American intelligence sharing. Our polling with YouGov shows how this rhetoric is reshaping people’s opinions about their countries’ allies.

I thought I was immune to the insanity, but I’m flabbergasted again. Did he really say that?
Thanks. It gets worse:
“That’s the purpose of it, and they’ve done a good job of it. But now I’m president.”
This is who Trump is. Thinks he is. Strongman. But alas, he’s fighting windmills. And by fighting them, he makes those peaceful windmills fight back. Which then retroactively justifies his paranoia that the world is against him? Stop the sanewashing. This person belongs in an asylum.
The feeling is mutual. The majority of people in the EU are downgrading USA to “necessary partner” now and one fifth sees USA as an ally. Two thirds feels cooperation should be reduced.
Well played Putin, well played.
I mean an emancipation of the EU from the US is well overdue, Trump or not.
Interesting that for Democrats Canada has had more “unfriendly” responses than the EU even before the sanctions. Maybe because the EU is less relevant to them since Canada directly borders the US?
MAGA is the enemy.
Fascism is the enemy. Maga is just one version.
True enough
So the data shows explicitly that it’s not Americans but Republicans but well just go ahead and generalize.
Fantastic journalism.
It’s not a poll of Republicans, it’s a poll of the US public and there’s upticks in both camps.
To the rest of the world, it’s not the United States of Republicans that are threatening Greenland and Canada, tearing up their own trade agreements, and shitting on allies. It’s the United States of America.
Pointing at the other internal camp and implying ‘It’s not us, it’s them’ might help US residents sleep at night but it does nothing on the world stage.
A lot of Americans are poorly educated in international relations and politics and genuinely do not understand the fallout of Trump’s choices/statements. We sadly will all suffer to some degree because of this ignorance
Fucking brain dead… Trump can’t even string a coherent sentence together, yet it’s enough to convince these mouth breathers to turn on Canada?
And then they are shocked that wveryone dislikes them when they leave the country
What is wrong with this country…?
Same thing that was wrong with Germany in 1939.
If only Germany in 1939 was chock full of people with guns that could have killed Hitler earlier.
I mean, there were some very close calls. Trump already has one on the board as well.
Just like Germany, once it’s already in power the movement won’t necessarily die with the leader.
The collapse of opportunities for the working class has lead to anger. The ruling capitalist elite have captured that anger and redirected it to innocent vulnerable people rather than allowing the anger to be correctly channeled towards them.
Why the rise in democrats tho?
Centrists
Tariffs that don’t exclusively impact red states, I guess?
Splash damage
Just because Democrats are more resistant, they are not immune to propaganda.
