What's the difference?
Wut? Are you actually suggesting that the entire population of Denmark (aka, the whole country) is just
???
Well, I'm an American, and we're collectively blamed for the fuckshit our government does, so absolutely yes.
But also, if the Danish government passes a law that goes into effect, how does it matter how many or how few Danes wanted it?
Well, you collectively elected Trump for president.
Twice.
Uh huh, and how'd the Danish government arrive in power?
Same way. But there's a difference between proposing a VPN ban and nuking a hurricane.
Yeah, Denmark might actually try their stupid idea.
Which won't kill (hundreds of) thousands of people, like the covid policy, or usaid, or epa, or CDC shutdowns. It won't abduct people on the street. It won't ban certain religions from entering the country. It won't sell pardons, or shit coins, or shares in a scam to directly benefit the president. It won't crash the economy. It won't put kids in cages. It won't put state secrets in bathrooms, sell classified info to Russia and won't rape anyone.
This wouldn't make it to the top 10 stupid ideas of any week across the pond. Over there you need ID to buy bread and groceries are a hoax (according to the president).
Oh just give it a minute. Europeans pretending they're not following right behind the US, that their own right wing retards aren't consolidating power.
It's a whole different caliber of right wingers. Some of them not even retards, which makes them much more dangerous, but more predictable. The only thing so far that has been positive for trump is how monumentally stupid he is an how lazy he is, which prevents him from implementing a coordinated plan, it's just random destruction here and there.
