And then he immediately died, without any further development, without explaining his behavior, and without any context. The end. /s

Vague allegations from one person, that never led to an indictment. My standards of proof are a little higher than that, thanks and no thanks.

Interesting! I wonder what history has to say about appeasing tyrants, and how it worked out in the past.

Your friends are still here, but they’re not in charge. Violent, armed bullies have taken over and are driving this country - with the rest of us in it - off a cliff. They aren’t just invading Greenland, they’re invading us. Our homes, our schools, our workplaces, our courts, all invaded. The authorities we armed and entrusted to uphold the law have seen their opportunity to go mask-off and support fascism. Your friends here are outclassed, outgunned, and oppressed.

Remember that America isn’t a monolith. If you were to put a bullet in the head of every US soldier to set foot on Greenland, we will celebrate your victory. Because we care about humanity, and our armed forces have given theirs up to fulfill a hateful dream. They’ve made their decision and deserve whatever’s coming to them.

I hope you understand that this take puts you in the company of tyrants and fascists, including the Nazis. Your hate is no better than their hate.

Right here: “USA as a country is our enemy now, not just the GOP. So in that way it is actually all Americans.”

Backpedaling later in your comment doesn’t fix this awful take.

Right. And it’s not like I’m doing nothing about it. I’m not a fighter, I’m a healer. I’m staying in school, enduring a shitty situation in a shitty country so that when the survivors turn up traumatized, I will be there to help them recover. Meanwhile I do what I can to arm my fellow Americans with knowledge of psychological theory - the biases and weaknesses of the human mind, how corporations and governments exploit this knowledge to empower themselves against us, and how we can strengthen our minds to resist them. That’s what I’m about, and I’m not going to let a diaper-shitting pedophile and his plans for world domination turn me into something I’m not.

I think it’s really awful that you’re telling Americans to either get themselves killed by the tyrant or be treated as supporters of the tyrant. Just awful.

You know who else was into collective punishment?
