Don't join the army and don't be a cop, especially not in 2025. Odds are you'll be sent to beat up protesters.

As a wise man once said: Things will have to get worse before they get better. The average American will need to suffer a lot more before they're ready to think about taking their guns to protests, let alone using them.
Based on policy? Yes. Based on beliefs and values? No. For historical reasons European countries have a stronger welfare state, but that's mostly inertia. Compared to America Europe is still in its Southern Strategy phase, and given the rapid success of the far right I'd say the nationalism is actually worse, in part due to America having never been an ethnostate. Stuff that either doesn't find purchase or remains restricted to the right in America sees a lot more popular acceptance in, say, France and Germany. This is the case for anti-immigration sentiment, for example, and don't get me started on French laicite. The American right being more mature and having had more time to organize* shouldn't be confused for Americans being more rightwing in their values.
*The modern European far right has only really had ammunition since the 2015 immigration crisis, while in America it dates back to the Civil Rights Act in 1964.
Idk American geopolitical rivals are probably laughing their asses off looking at him.
His history is... uh... concerning, to say the least (though the Nazi tattoo thing is bogus), but still can't be worse than a corporate dem.

Me in a recent reply to one of these.
but you have to respect them for that reason alone, above all else.
No, baby killers should burn in hell.
How will they be after it is all said and done?
Nothing will happen to them, except maybe purging the most obnoxious Trump loyalists. People "volunteer" for the military for the money, so they'll just keep doing that.
Cough cough will no one rid me of this turbulent bitch?
I mean depends on execution but giving members even a cursory view of socialist literature and ideas would make it a worthwhile affair. This is the sort of thing that would have real teeth if widely implemented.
