    Which is exactly what he wants. He is an enemy of the state. He should be removed as president, convicted of treason, and executed.

      We agree he should be executed, but instead because he’s the living embodiment of Amerikkka. Death to america etc

      An enemy of which state? The state that genocided the indigenous population? The one that used mass slavery? The one with Jim Crow laws that the Nazis modeled after? The one that has the highest incarceration rate in the world? The one that has been in nonstop hot and cold wars since the “end” of WWII? The one that worked with Nazis after the war? The one that has murdered millions in its campaigns for imperialist dominance across the globe? The one backing israel, who is currently committing genocide?

      No, Trump is the embodiment of the Yankee colonizer. He is the mask off Yankee imperialist. He is all of the US’s worst tendencies put on full display, without pretense, for the world to see. He’s not an aberration, he is the real character of the US. He’s not a passing phase, he is what the US has always been; racist, sexist, murderous, and white supremacist, and absolutely shameless in committing violent crimes against others.

      Of course, the liberal looks at this and says, “That’s not who I am. I’m not racist, I’m not sexist. I’m progressive!” But what progress has been achieved by the liberal? Did liberals end slavery? A war was fought over that. Did liberals liberate black people? The Black Panther Party faced assassination, imprisonment, and slander, and Malcolm X talked of the deceptive nature of the “smiling fox” liberal.

      Individual liberals are not to blame for every worst thing the US has done, especially when they weren’t alive during it. But the least they can do is acknowledge the US for what it is and stop pretending that the Hitler microplastics in their culture is something their particular bloodstream is immune to. That they can just shrug it off and say “I’m not like them” instead of working to dismantle systems of exploitation.

      Watching people get mad at Trump for the few good things he’s done is always interesting. Trump destroying the US ability to rampage around the globe with impunity destroying millions of lives is objectively good, him dodging the draft is objectively good (even if the good is entirely incidental caused by his arrogance stupidity and cowardice). It’s what he has in common with the rest of the US presidential cohort that makes him bad, the violent imperialism and racism etc.

      Trump is working on behalf of US capitalists, which the US government is sole purposed with benifetting. He’s doing exactly what his position is meant to do. To be an enemy of the US state is to be a friend to humanity.
