No party will ever be in power and stick to their core values and ideology. I truly believe politics no longer function like that. I don't have an answer. We will end up with reform. Perhaps we need rock bottom to start again?

This is truly frightening

How can this man be involved in any form of government activity..the mind boggles

Today I feel like not wanting to get out of bed, facing anything or doing anything. Anyone else ever get to that disheartened and disillusioned point?

Wouldn't worry...he has billions more to spend on this...

Wish I wasn't working!!! If the state visit goes ahead we need a mass demo!!!

Jess Wagner @wagnerjess.bsky.social · Mar 2

I think that's true for lots of US citizens, many didn't vote for this! Someone needs to start a US fundraiser to support Ukraine. Imagine 1000s of US people donating just $1! The money it would raise and the message it would send!

Why the apology? It's a free for all now isn't it, and we just gotta stick it? That's why I deleted my insta!

What an interesting picture! It almost looks 3D and as if it was distorted by some force, something hiding! I love how these pictures are taken!

I see your points, you're right! But...the AfD came second in the polls after the votes were split. And in that voting system, the news is not good. It shows, just like here, that the opposition is very split, allowing the far right to surge into second position....

Jess Wagner @wagnerjess.bsky.social · Feb 23

Yes but 20% to AfD!!! That's shocking.. and frightening

Jess Wagner @wagnerjess.bsky.social · Feb 22

Very scary indeed

He's also not going to 'stop WW3'.......

Surely growth of anything in terms of things is not infinite?! Perhaps we need growth of common sense, kindness, solidarity, morality and humanity as a whole??
