America needs Crockett. I hope she finds a place to put her skills and efforts to good use

The fact he didnโ€™t respond like Pedro Sanchez makes me feel very ashamed right now. He โ€˜regretfully supports thisโ€™ is awful.

And Ps we already are supporting it. The war is illegal. He didnโ€™t go to congress and get approval. Carney even acknowledges that.

This would be better with alt text as itโ€™s kind of hard to read.

Internment camps should actually say concentration camps so people understand the severity of the words

Or die and what their cronies donโ€™t get is once they are gone? Well โ€ฆ who do they think the public will seek out for retribution? They are stupid and donโ€™t think long term consequences. Oh well. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes

All of Europe is like this. So clearly the ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ could do it โ€ฆ if they wanted to and werenโ€™t so greedy.

Inheritance tax.

Property taxes also max out at 10,074kr no matter how expensive your home is. Thats $1100usd.

People will say Sweden is much smaller thatโ€™s why. Ok but the population is so spread out here and yet weโ€™ve got public transport in the most rural places. And pretty much

Yeah itโ€™s insane. Iโ€™m always amazed by how much Americans buy into the propaganda fed to them.

At my tax rate I also get 50k kr a year ($5500) to put towards 30% of labour costs on my house for upgrades and can be spread across multiple providers.

We get so much. And we donโ€™t even have

05.03.2026 01:07 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Ok well Iโ€™m in Sweden and have similar costs and itโ€™s excellent so ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ and my income tax rate is only 35% at my salary bracket

05.03.2026 01:00 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

And I know loads of Americans will say but you pay 60% in taxes. For my income bracket I pay 35%

05.03.2026 00:58 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

It was same in UK 15 yrs ago (probably has changed by now given all going on there) but no charge and asked me if I needed money for a taxi to get somewhere

Why?

05.03.2026 00:53 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

As someone who is from a universal healthcare country - thatโ€™s expensive to me

Oh and that 3900kr doesnโ€™t always stay higher because they raised it. It can drop again. It all depends on the demand on the system from previous years. So itโ€™s not always rising in costs.

05.03.2026 00:52 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

High cost protection for dental care. So we pay 100% of the first 3000kr ($327), then 50% between 3001-15000kr ($327-1636) then 15% of anything over that.

This is a Scandinavian country.

Itโ€™s doable. Stop thinking otherwise. Iโ€™ve also lived in many other European countries and itโ€™s similar

Ok I live in Sweden. Let me break down costs for you:

1450kr is my government co pay for doctor/hospital visits per year. Everything after that is free. Thats $158USD btw

Medicine? After 3900kr (itโ€™s gone up from 2900kr for 2026) all my medication is 100% free. $425USD

We also have

Because if he doesnโ€™t do as well as Crockett thatโ€™s a massive loss for not only Texas, but America as a whole.

Also misogyny contributed to this outcome along with racism.

Agree. She was way more qualified. And I like Talarico but Jasmine was imo the person for the job because sheโ€™s been doing it and doing an amazing job.

Nobody knows what Talarico will actually be like or how hard he will fight or if he will have an impact.

I hope he does a great job

And other world leaders care about their citizens so we let America act like an *sshole to keep the peace. Now that itโ€™s not working Americans are going to see how much they are disliked and either remain ostracised or humble themselves and drastically change.

05.03.2026 00:06 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

All the American war propaganda movies about how they won WW2. Meanwhile they joined towards the end when it was almost over and the USSR was the biggest contributing factor to it ending. But yeah. we tolerate it because they are one of the largest nuclear powers and the majority of us want peace

Thereโ€™s a reason why Americans are often not liked abroad. The history of how they treat others outside of their own country (and even within) has long been problematic to us outsiders. I mean they rewrite history.

05.03.2026 00:06 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yes but also - America has been like this for a long time. People just bought into why America was doing what it was doing. America is a bully and war fanatic. Itโ€™s got bloodlust. Ask countries who they have invaded to โ€˜helpโ€™ how much they actually liked the long term effects of said help.

05.03.2026 00:06 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Much poorer countries with worse everyday conditions than Americans have done it successfully.

I mean if they get them - sure. Maybe but if they donโ€™t they are the most armed country in the world and it was apparently because they needed to protect themselves from a tyrannical government. Or I donโ€™t know a non-violent general strike.
