I can’t ever remember 1 man taking up so much space in so many people’s heads . It’s truly baffling

There are too many parallels to Nazi Germany to feel even remotely comfortable with this administration. He certainly has a lot of people close to him that are using his appeal for their own agendas, but the same has been said of Hitler. Too much of what Trump says or does feels like a slippery slope towards authoritarianism, and it's very antithetical to the values of the country I know and love.

I do ultimately believe that Trump is a symptom of, rather than the cause of a lot of our social ills. Americans really need to do more to promote critical thinking skills and media literacy, as well as curbing the influence of online misinformation campaigns and political grifters.

For now, I'm holding out for midterm elections for people to realize that he's taking things too far. Who knows what kind of chicanery he'd try to employ to secure his own power after what he's trying to pull off in Texas and DC. If all else fails, my hope is that our armed services realize that they swore an oath to the US Constitution, not to a single man or his agenda.

I haven't really been affected yet, although my one friend has. I'm concerned about how things will play out for the country for sure. He has a very internally destabilizing effect.

Thanks.

I am actually looking at moving to the EU.

Flying the national flag is a subject of controversy in England. Why?

They are fine. Your country, UK, is arresting their citizens for internet speech. You are not fine.
