in case youve not seen this masterpiece

jan 25th edit: soon after posting this, i was made aware that anders vistisen is a right wing nationalist and horrible guy, and i fully agree that greenland should be free from danish rule. i am not congratulating or applauding that part, i am calling the part of him telling trump to fuck off a 'masterpiece'. i appologize for not making this edit sooner, and if my phrasing made it seem like i support this guy or what he stands for, that was not my intention

Important to realize that Trump’s approach to Canada and Greenland is like his approach to Ukraine. It’s not even simply American imperialism. It is America enabling Russian imperialism.

It’s America destroying its own best alliances, cutting itself off from its own crucial bases, making a Russian nuclear first strike on the US easier, opening Arctic territories that were once safe to Russian expansion.

That’s the one logic that makes it all make sense. There is no conception of US interests, including an imperial one, in which this makes sense.

can we just like. talk about how absolutely insane it is for trump, THE PRESIDENT* OF THE UNITED STATES, to talk about using military force on sovereign nations to seize territory??????? like excuse me what the fuck?? are we serious right now because i’m sorry even if he isn’t being serious he is still THE PRESIDENT and his words carry weight. whether we like it or not. this would undeniably be an act of war. WAR. he would start a third world war against our ALLIES

I know people usually use either the hand maids tale or the hunger games when making reference to how dystopian the US is getting but more recently it does feel like someone in the white house watched code geass and said yes please more of that

"It's called rain, comes down from comes down from heaven. And they want to do, no water comes out of the shower. It goes drip, drip, drip. So what happens you're in the shower 10 times as long, you know. No water comes out of the faucet."

-- Exact transcript of President-elect Donald Trump complaining about shower heads with restricted water flow during a batshit crazy press conference at Mar-a-Lago, January 7, 2024.

President-elect Trump, who also pointed out during the press conference that "The windmills are driving the whales crazy", touched upon some more serious matters, as well, implying that the United States may take back control of the Panama Canal by force, potentially use force and/or economic coercion to force Denmark to sell Greenland to the United States (he will "tariff Denmark at a very high level" if they don't give us Greenland), and continued to suggest that Canada should become an American state. Oh, he also talked about changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America" because he's an asshole.

In case you forgot, over 77 million Americans -- including, undoubtedly, people you love and who say they love and care about you -- voted for this person to lead our country for the next four years, despite...well...despite fucking everything we have experienced since 2015.

I seriously don't know if I can do this again for another four years.
