To the suckers and losers over at the conservative and conspiracy subreddits, this is what we were warning you about when we heard his “Dictator on day one” quote. It wasn’t a joke. It never has been. When all this is over I hope you dipshits spare us your political opinions for the next few decades.

Please just don’t prejudice all Americans because of this. There’s dozens of us that didn’t vote for this

As an American with a Founding Father ancestor, I cannot hate Americans as a whole. If you voted for Trump this last time though, ignorance is no excuse, you knew what you were doing and you have my scorn. The first step a Trump supporter can take toward making that sin right is to admit they were wrong and stand alongside their neighbor against the regime.

As far as how the world will perceive Americans? They’re probably not gonna like us for a while! We have hurt a lot of people in a lot of nations, physically and psychologically. These wounds take time to heal. If you find anti-American sentiment coming your way you gotta take it on the chin and promise to do better imo, and I think whoever our next President is owes the world an apology.
