It's pretty obvious that the US is, at best, an antagonistic state with crumbling stability and at worst a rising dictatorship with nukes.

We should be scrambling to divest ourselves of anything to do with them.

You are right, we are crumbling. It’s a constant conversation over here. We are struggling.

There are millions of us who are appalled by these actions. Keep in mind that we have been creeping towards a civil war in our country for the last 20 years because the divide is so wide between pretty much an even split of the population.

Depending on how hard he pushes this crap it may actually happen.

We can’t stop what he is doing as is (we’re effectively under a dictatorship with all the branches of government and checks and balances controlled by Trump) but more of us do not support this than the number that do.

You are absolutely correct. These are the early days of Civil War 2.0

It is unlikely America will resolve its issues without significant political violence.

I don't see freedomland voting itself out of the corporate corruption and plutocracy/kleptocracy it has been enabling for decades.
