I think a lot of people will stand with you, and people moved here to fedi to escape persecution elsewhere. Perhaps we all need to take an initial step back, work out a good strategy and be very coordinated in how we fight back.

Maybe a good rule of thumb here is 'Follow the science' we have access to the internet, research, and many on here are also scientists, some (or maybe many) have fled X due to the abuse they face.

So as part of any strategy, lets make sure we can cite research or cite something that turns what we write into powerful statements to get our points across.

@shuttersparks @billyjoebowers

It seems everyone will pay the price, people like trump just blame others and refuse to accept responsibility

@trans_rescue

Unless the USA is declared an unsafe country, then it will be much harder to claim asylum in another 'safe' country.

Need to raise far more awareness of what is going on, not just on mainstream social media (where it falls on deaf ears) but on Fedi, You are stronger as a commuity, Keep positive and that you can gain victory.

@pthane @shuttersparks @billyjoebowers @helma

How many of those trump voters even know what NATO is, Trump seems to think the US is the only country in the world.

@djnavarro

Just had someone on bbc news, talking about personality.

People remember what Trump did, but the positive things, people could afford gas, food etc, they can't now, partly as like with the UK, the war in the Ukraine impacted the global economy but people forget the global factor (or refuse to factor it)

Maybe it was better under Trump, as people are directly affected by some policies, ignoring security briefing is not seen as serious by many people perhaps, does not impact then directly in the immediate term. You need to see the wider picture.

@JulianOliver

Big tech will be allowed to carry on, as it benefits trump and will benefit IF there is an election in 2028. Other countries such as the UK and EU countries want to reign in big tech, how we do that is going to be interesting.

@DrEvanGowan

Agreed, I can see a lot of science people leaving the USA, when things start to happen, that people here warned about we can say 'told you so' not just climate related but the stuff about schools, abortion, LGBTQIA+ attacks etc etc, oh and mass deportations

Will be interesting to see what happens to Harry and Megan, that is what will hit the headlines.

@xavier_hm

I think so yes, there is also loops which is more for short videos that is a pixelfed project but loops is very new @loops

@ravirockks @bert_hubert

You can tell by the way the audience claps at speeches by the NK leader, everyone claps in the same way, same speed. Contrast that to most other countries and people clap in their own way, Just an observation, maybe I read in to that the wrong way, but it is interesting.

@ravirockks @bert_hubert

It seems that some of the NK troops managed to shoot some russian troops, friendly fire, none of them want to be there, there is a differerence between an army of conscripts and people who sign up as they want to be in the army.

@ravirockks @bert_hubert

China has modern weaponry, it seems Russia still has old soviet stuff,

@bert_hubert

yeah

@malwaretech

I am not american, i can still see there is a clear choice between what Trump represents and what Harris represents, but that won't help as I can't vote. I just hope for everyones sake enough Americans understand and vote Harris.

In which case, I also hope there is a good plan in place should Harris win, as Trump won't accept it and will claim it was rigged, which could lead to violence to try and gain power that way.

@realTuckFrumper

At first glance you jump to a GOP victory, then need to remember that the north east has 13 states that are quite small so would add to the overall total of states the Democrats would win in that prediction would push the blue higher than red.

@alice

I have ticked several here, however different categories could have a content warning for different reasons. In some ways a long post, if we know it is a long post then we can either read there and then or save till later ( when we have more time ) other issues we can be in the right frame of mind, a bad or good day at work could result in you seeing a mental health issue differently and reaction can change accordingly.
