For 73% of French people, the United States is no longer an ally of France
-
Two yeas is a God damn long time to wait, Putin is knocking on the door of Ukraine and probably other Baltic countries.
And we like it or not EU is dependent on gas, be it Russian (direct or though 3 partirs) or US.
And sorry but you (US) fucked up bad this time.
PS: in 2 years maybe Greenland is US territory.
I finally bit the bullet and applied for my passport. I may just be leaving to get out of this shit show for the foreseeable future.

It was removed before I replied, I looked into the comment moderation history to read it.
Luckily my instance isn't sensitive about this sort of thing. Oh, I see. Seems kinda crappy to remove it just because I said a guillotine should be presented as a gift. I didn't say anyone should use it. I mean, I was gifted a knife for my birthday, am I not allowed to mention it?

I don’t consider it an ally of the American people, either.

Don't pretend the solution to your problem is voting. Americans need to learn how countries like France resisted in WWII.
That’s what these fascists want tho. They want a violent uprising to create a state of emergency. All we need to do is be peacefully against their bullshit. I hold no doubt that Trump will kill US citizens with drones. Given the chance on us soil. So I will go the full anti-aggressive stance. I will use my words but in no way create a threatening position. I’m simply going to vote them out in less than 2 years now. It’s already been nearly 6 months since the election. 18 more till the next. We can make it. There’s a limit what the senate can get passed. Unless the GOP upends senate rules. There’s limits to what permanently can be done. And they are focused on taxes now. Next year. Who knows what they will push through reconciliation next year. But this year is only Tax breaks. So again there’s really limited approaches that can be accomplished. By these fools. But there’s plenty of damage to the federal work force. That is being done. But I hope the courts can stop that.

It still could be a phase, albeit a much longer one than originally hoped for. I'm not convinced that's the case but I think there's reason to have at least a sliver of hope that the US will turn the corner and return to something approaching sanity. That's not to say that the people of France are wrong in their perception though. For the foreseeable future all of Europe should default to assuming we'll be ambivalent at best when approaching matters that concern them.
Sure, I agree with you. Although I have to say that personally, I believe the US isn't coming back from this any time soon, if ever. I say this because in my opinion the causes that led to the (repeated) Trump presidency (e.g. a terrible election system, money in politics, a culture of turning everything into a show, a deeply ingrained skepticism towards knowledge and science in large parts of the population, extremist capitalism etc.) go much deeper than just these past ~10 years. And I see no willingness and/or capability on the side of the opposition to really tackle any of these factors at the root.

I think it would be a fantastic gift.

I am talking the blue part, which is not part of Canada.
So am I. The correct name for the region in blue is "La Louisiane", which got morphed into "louisiana" in the USA somehow.

They're objectively better than us.
When their elite misbehave and make a play to take even more, they set everything on fire, and always have, bless them.
Half of our sad, pathetic country act like our oligarch's house slaves, defending them rehtorically as hard working virtuous job creators and not the antisocial, sociopathic scum that they are.

I'm sorry to say but that's delusional. 18 more months of the current program and the US is likely ungovernable. DOGE is dismantling the bureaucracy, rendering its institutions useless right now. It will be extremely hard even to undo the damge done so far, rebuilding the IRS, USAID, NOAA, EPA, etc.
The head of Project 2025 let out this, in July of last year:
We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless ― if the left allows it to be.

It's too bad that the sensible areas of US are on both sides of the continent. Would make a split much simpler if they were closer together.

"Name one country where socialism has worked." The United States, 1955, when corporate wealth tax was 90% and gave birth to a thing called the middle-class where a milkmans salary could afford a house and family.

73%/23%
Someone can't maths!

They are declaring states of emergency left and right, just because last year 2kg of fentanyl was intercepted at the border or something like that. The don't need any excuse to wipe their ass with norms, rules and regulations.

The time to express that was 4 months ago. Now you can only buy a leopard-proof mask and pray.

Sorry mate, but it’s too late.
Even if you protest peacefully, your chances of getting hurt are still very high. That’s kinda the way these things usually happen. So I’ll just ask you this: Would you rather go down holding a sign or next to a burning building? lol You’ll be a terrorist either way, what with Trump blanket labeling protests as illegal.
Also: The police are already armed like the military. We’re already at the full scale escalation. They have weapons you paid for, and they’re ready to use them on you. Just think about how regular every day cops make shit up so they can have a little fun. It’s over homie.
Get a gun before you can’t.

To be honest. I can still vote for now. So I don’t see so much doom. When I can not vote. Then I will be concerned.
And a friend in the military also reminded me of something. When they start shooting people. They have to remember that the public. Generally normal people. Will find their homes. And citizens in a guerrilla operation. Have a lot more freedom of operation than a person with an army unit or police force. If they want to start a civil conflict. I doubt there will be peace for the people carrying out the orders. I wouldn’t be surprised if their homes burn to the ground with or without them in it. Because that’s how ready a certain portion of the population is. Not me. But certain groups of well trained folks.

Time for take-backsies on the Louisiana Purchase. Also the Statue of Liberty.

And I doubt they will be able to start their little revolution. The courts are fighting back. People are getting their jobs back. There is balance forming. We just have to be patient till the next election. I’m not all doom and gloom because I have hope for my nation.

I'd like to see them try to take the MAGAts' guns away.
