Yep, fascists taking over will do that to a country 😬
... alongside the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Italy, Pakistan and Serbia.
Historically, Tiwana said, the US has been “considered the beacon of democracy and defense of fundamental freedoms”
What a fall from grace. Il Duce would've been glad.
Fall from grace my ass. People are just now noticing that everything America has ever been is a cardboard set piece used to hide the piles of garbage in the background. This country has never been anything more than a lie.
Are you denying that it's getting exponentially worse by the day?
Look, ma! We’re on TV!
You ever heard The Clash's "I'm so Bored with the U.S.A."?
That's how most of us even here in the US feel
I think it's moved on to "Fuck the U.S.A." by The Exploited by now.
I’d recommend Anti-Flag if Justin Sane wasn't such a douchebag.
The U.S. is always on TV and it's depressing af. I have a co-worker here in Australia parroting American neonazi talking points.
You need to be quarantined.
The U.S. is always on TV and it's depressing af.
Its even worse living next door to them.
You need to be quarantined.
They really do. For the good of the world.
Can I get out first? I don’t care to see if they decide to imprison me for being trans or put me on a work farm for taking psychiatric medication.
first you gotta find a country that will let you in and stay in.
and then, you gotta pay the US government to rescind your citizenship.
LPTs for anyone considering:

- look for immigration short lists per country, e.g. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/skilled-worker-visa-immigration-salary-list/skilled-worker-visa-immigration-salary-list - note there's also unskilled work included in these, notably carers on the seperate (see link) healthcare list

So fucked up, hey? Move now. I can recommend Australia if Canada doesn't work.
Also from Australia and I concour as long as idiots don't elect dutton in our coming federal election
Gotta take the power back.Make the billionaires scared to show their faces
just now?
Right? Remember Habeas corpus? Nobody does because Dubya signed it away to do some shit.

“Land of the free”, they said. Freedom of speech, and all that.
Land of the free, whoever told you that is your enemy
The use never was free, other countries consistently had actual freedoms that the US never had
The one major freedom that the US just only had the freedom to have guns, no matter how stupid it was. You're a 5 year old? Here, shoot a gun!
Land of the free, whoever told you that is your enemy
They tell themselves that lie every morning.
I blame Francis Scott Key.
Free to pay.
Money is speech, after all.
Just watched a part of Clinton's speech in post-war Slovenia (after separated from Yugoslavia) where he says that democracy and freedom must prevail around the world. Oh Billy...
