The Clock is Ticking on American Freedom

The Clock is Ticking on American Freedom

Real talk for Americans.

It took Hitler 53 days to dismantle all of Germany’s democratic institutions. 53 days from the date he took power. That’s it.

We’re on day 18 with Donald Trump.

An American yesterday seemed completely panicked about their chaos and blurted on Bluesky, “But we have allies! They will help!”

No. They won’t.

No one is coming.

No one will come.

Look at Syria’s civil war. Who helped?

Look at Sudan. Ethiopia. Who helped?

Why would anyone risk their people’s lives to help you save yours, when your nation voted for this?

We know there was interference. We all know that. Know what would’ve solved it? Respecting democracy and voting in numbers.

But here we are.

Do I want young Canadians to die saving Americans from themselves? No. I don’t. I would never vote for that or ask for it. You wouldn't send your kids to help in Syria, right?

We will defend our country. We will not risk our lives to help you save yours.

And when Americans online see videos of Black people like Maxwell Frost having the courage to look a paid mercenary in the face at the doors of the US Department of Education, and they’re like “FORCE YOUR WAY IN!” — you need to back that truck up. No Black man or woman owes a violent confrontation to you right now.

The people who need to challenge these guys are white folks. Not queers, not Blacks, not Latinos, not trans folk. Those people the ones who are most likely to be violently suppressed at this regime’s earliest convenience, and their confrontation would be help up as a reason of why such force is needed.

It’s white Americans who need to defend their country.

Time to wake up.

Day 18. Tick-tock.

What now, folks?

No one’s coming. You gotta be your own damn superheroes. It's all you, now.
