The US has always been like this. We’re a brutal, land grubbing, hegemonic power.

The founding fathers set this shit up and they knew it was going to go sideways from the moment they signed the paperwork. If anything, it likely lasted longer than they imagined it would.

Less so than the Republican party that elected him in face of treason and the electoral college that abdicated their duties to refuse to elect him. Like, the framers knew there would be irrational, power-hungry populists. They used the term “Nero” as an insult. But it’s the duty of everyone else to understand that sound governance requires you to not elect them. They gave us checks and balances, and we refused to use them.

His attitude towards humans in general (including Americans) is a disgrace. He only exists to accumulate money and power. Nothing else is of interest to him. The only people who are gladly supporting him are 1) companies and individuals who want more money/power themselves and 2) right-wing extremists who are gullible by definition (pro-authoritarian, want to follow a Führer blindly, hate outsiders of their own group). Hence the strategy to convert conservatives to right-wing extremists via manipulation and propaganda.

instilling a form of authoritarianism (trampling over what the founding fathers fought for)
literally what could be more “authoritarian” than owning a fuckton of slaves? the founding fathers wouldn’t have liked him because by their racist, slave-owning, genocidal rapist standards, trump is too progressive.
it would do the world a lot of good if american liberals would stop glazing these assholes and finally admit that the US itself is the problem and stop using trump as a sin-eater for centuries of genocide, imperialism, and systemic oppression.
