I get this, but probably the best way to feel safer is to forge local connections. Check on your neighbors, they'll check on you

Unfortunately, many neighbors in the US have decided to take it upon themselves to install a fascist dictator as the head of our government.
In fact, the only way that many of those neighbors will "check in" on their neighbors is through a scope.
Unfortunately, many neighbors in the US have decided
The more you want to find out exactly who it was, and watch them closely from now on.
My district voted 86% for Trump to 14% for Harris.
I have no neighbors. Just people who will report me to the secret police in the future.
It's really for your own good to go to Camp Christian and learn not to be a pagan
I've been there, not impressed.
besides, I'm not allowed back. something about I "scare the congregation".
I say those with a wicked heart will always fear judgement.
Me and my neighbors will check on each other quite often. As we will be cell mates.
No, that's silly. You'll both be campers at "Liberty Rehabilitation Camp!"
And if your neighbours voted for this?
A friend in the UK called me first thing this morning to check on me. It meant the world. Please do check on your friends in the US, now and regularly. ❤️
Rule 2.
But sure, we can do that. It's not particularly difficult to find news from the US in other parts of the world.
But all the news from Us will now start again with "trump says"
I don't think you'll want to trust the news much longer. Not coming out of the US, at least.
Don't worry about that. We pay a few of our own journalists to live in the US and report the news. I occasionally read or watch both the European and unfiltered American reporting and they're not alike. I think we still get a picture resembling something close to the truth. At least generally speaking.
Like I'm saying you need someone to go into the camps, which they won't have clearance, and look for the mass graves.
Hmmh, that's usually postponed until after a war is over. At least to gather the exact numbers. But the other side isn't going to conceal it. They're going to brag about it. So we'll know anyways.
Ummmm .... no .... your military has been dishing out misery all over the world for the past 80 years.
US poor now get to see and feel what the rest of the world has been going through.
We're all too busy trying to look after ourselves because of what you guys have left everyone everywhere.
Fair.
The empire may have deserved to fall but still hate to see it happen like this.
Ok, trumps not like darth sidious with a gloomy mystique and sinister powers but he's definitely the American version of that. Like you cross darth sidious with ronald mcdonald and trump pops out
He was literally based off of Richard Nixon (per Lucas), but yes this still checks out.
