Dear Americans,
I hate to break the bad news to you, but we hate your racist narcissistic laughingstock of a president.
Best regards,
The rest of the world
Dear Americans,
On behalf of the German people I’m begging you to not repeat my ancestors‘ horrible mistakes of the past. Do not let your country be ruled by hatred, violence, and racism. Do not believe the lies of an evil man and his hypocritical cronies.
Vote Trump out.
Dear Americans,
I’m an English teacher in Germany, and lots of my students have expressed their disappointment about the USA under
#Trump
. If you could tell them something, what would you say?

My dear Americans, let a German guy tell you that Trump supporters scare the sh*t out of anyone who has paid attention in History class on this side of the pond. Wake up and rise against your laughingstock of a president before it's too late to laugh about him!
Thank you so very much for all your likes, retweets, and follows!
Please know that my tweets towards the US are in no way meant to be condescending. I just want to be your ally by giving you an outsider’s perspective.
WOW!!! I guess this is what you call “going viral,” huh? 😅
Thanks for your love, everyone, and I definitely appreciate every single new follower! 🤗
However, don’t you think this tweet should have deserved even more attention?

I’m German. Trump’s supporters have been telling me to shut up because I live in “Nazi country.” Well, in Germany we say, “Wehret den Anfängen” (“Nip it in the bud”) - and everyone here knows what it refers to: Do not remain silent when you witness the rise of fascism.
#Trump
I’ve been getting a lot of hate from Trump supporters telling me to shut it since I’m not an American/from “Nazi country”/a Nazi, and frankly that’s been a bit overwhelming.
BUT there’s been *so* much more support from kind & reasonable Americans and others! Thank you all!
@RubyWaves_
In post-apocalyptic movies (or potentially any other genre), where the protagonists have been struggling for survival for a few days, weeks, or even years, but are still clean shaven, and the women have no armpit hair and perfectly plucked eyebrows.
Lots of you are mentioning the Electoral College. Can you explain to me why it even exists? I mean, how can anyone claim that it’s fair to have states represented equally instead of making each single citizen‘s vote count? Doesn’t seem very democratic to me. 🤔
@ProudResister
@FoxNews
Here in Germany, the country that invented the Nazis, we don’t even have a TV channel as extremely radical (and stupid, mind you) as
@FoxNews
. How is that bullsh*t even legal?
Forgive me for sounding selfish here, but as a German citizen I take offense at Trump’s talking about the COVID-19 vaccine without mentioning the German company BioNTech, instead falsely crediting his “Operation Warp Speed” with the successful development.
I‘m kind of shocked to read that American voters have to wait in line for several hours. Seriously, every time that I’ve voted here in Germany, my waiting time was several minutes at most. What’s wrong with you, America?
While I have to admit that I don't know all that much about politics, the one thing I'm pretty sure of is that what the USA needs right now is people like
@ProudResister
Ryan Knight, who are trying to bring the good people together instead of creating further divisions.
More and more Germans are rolling their eyes at the US justice system, claiming there’s always a way out for citizens possessing enough money or influence. I’m sad to have to report that my fellow citizens have been losing respect for the USA because Trump is still free.

1. What he said.
2. I’m an English teacher who spent a year living and studying in the USA.
3. Believe me, the world should definitely care about what’s happening in the world’s most influential nation when an idiotic fascist has taken over.
What we are witnessing is the rise of fascism in the USA. It is led by
@realDonaldTrump
. Please do not stand idly by and let this happen to your country. Be better than my German ancestors.

#FascistTrump
I hate to say this, but I do want to share my “outsider perspective” with US Americans, so here you go:
Watching what’s happening in the US right now feels like watching an autocratic third-world country without a working system of checks and balances in place.
@StephenKing
Dear Americans,
Your Supreme Court, the highest legal authority in your nation, is actively working to take away your civil rights.
It is time to act - if not for yourselves, do it for your children and grandchildren.
The world is watching you in horror.
The Nazis in Germany had to be convicted first, in order for the German citizens to be able to unify and heal.
I hope Americans paid attention in History class.
@ProudResister
@realDonaldTrump
@GOP
This German guy congratulates his American friends on their first step away from fascism! Stay strong, resist, and kick Individual 1 out as fast as you can, Democrats! 🇺🇸✌️🇩🇪
Dear Americans,
Would you understand me if I told you that, at this point I wouldn’t even want to travel to the US as a tourist? There’s so very much about your beautiful nation that I absolutely love, but I just wouldn’t feel safe in public areas anymore.
It’s sad, I know.
I just woke up to find out that ... it’s a CLOSE race?? What the FUCK, America?? Seriously, what else could Trump have done in order for you to *still* support that moron??
Dear Americans,
There used to be a time when I could proudly teach my students about your country. What am I to do now though? I don’t want to have to explain to them that the USA is going down the same dark path Germany went down too.
Today I grieve for the USA. And I’m mad!
@JasonOverstreet
@SteveHofstetter
Let’s face it: Biden only won the primaries because he’s a guy. Elizabeth Warren’s performance was - and still is! - so much better. And to those who were hoping for unity due to a more centrist candidate - well, that didn’t quite work the way you were hoping it would, did it?
Dear Americans,
I know you guys tend to care a lot about patriotism, but please don’t let Trump fulfill his promise to introduce “Patriotic Education” in your schools.
This German teacher is deeply disturbed by the mere thought of such a school subject.
@IngrahamAngle
I’ve just let that sink in. Feels totally reasonable for me to keep Americans out of church in order to keep a deadly virus out of their bodies, but hey - I guess that’s just me! 🤷🏻♂️
So I just realized that if Trump loses the election - which we should all be praying for! -, my Twitter account will lose all its purpose. 😳
What should I tweet about after Trump is gone? 🤔
So if you’ve ever wondered whether or not your tweets could actually make a difference: they taught this German guy how to make an all-American grilled cheese sandwich, cut diagonally so that he could dip the corners into tomato soup!
It all makes sense now! 🤗
Dear Americans,
If I retweet stuff about people preferring Angela Merkel to Donald Trump, I don’t mean to offend you. It’s just that you do have a pretty shitty president.

@anothercohen
You’re amazing, Halli! No need to justify yourself. Elon behaves worse than a comic book villain, and everyone who still defends that guy needs to seriously question their morals.
Why are so many Americans against universal healthcare, dismissing it as “socialism”? Can’t they see that a large part of the rest of the world is better off with their healthcare covered by the state?
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Germans generally do not understand the love of guns that seems to be dominating the mindsets of so many US-Americans. When I hear, “They’re going to take away our guns,” I’m like, “Good! I’ve never seen a private citizen carrying a gun!”

Pro tip: He can also change the language of his phone to German. Mine’s in Spanish, and I’ve learned quite a few new words and expressions!

Dear Ryan, I beg you and your followers from across the pond in Germany to not let our horrible mistakes of the past repeat themselves! Stand up and resist! Your German friends are at your side! Kick Individual 1 out of office and right into jail! 🇩🇪🤝🇺🇸
Do not silence Anne Frank‘s voice, Americans. If she wasn’t too young to suffer and die under my fascist ancestors’ dictatorship, your children aren’t too young to learn about her story.
Please don’t hate me, but I actually had no idea who Stacey Abrams is (I’m German). I looked her up. She’s Superwoman. Cherish that lady, America. 🥰
#StaceyAbrams
I know I never post exciting stuff, but today was the first time I made German cinnamon rolls (Schneckennudeln = snail noodles) all by myself, and laugh all you want, but I’m proud! 🤩
Dear Americans,
I understand that the vast majority of American parents have their sons circumcised shortly after birth. But isn’t that, strictly speaking, also a violation of their bodily autonomy? I’ve heard about a protest movement of adult men pointing out exactly that.
I used to think that most Americans were arrogant, selfish, and only interested in their own country. Because of you guys I know better now. So thank you for being friendly, modest, and open-minded Americans! 🤗
Please tell me I’m not the only one who’s horrified by the sheer number of people praising an unimaginably rich guy’s decision to judge what is free speech and what isn’t.
Over the next four years, we will stop the radical indoctrination of our students, and restore PATRIOTIC EDUCATION to our schools. We will teach our children to love our Country, honor our history, and always respect our great American Flag.
Dear Americans,
Please learn to differentiate between socialism and social democracies. I’m just so fvcking tired of having to point out the difference.
So when I went to bed a few hours ago, I was expecting to wake up to the news of Trump being impeached or whatever else is possible after staging a coup.
Nothing? Seriously, USA?
Donald Trump is simply unlikable.
You’ve read that right: Even if he hadn’t committed any of those crimes, he’d still be a horribly unlikable bully and loser that no one in their right mind should ever want to hang out with.
Pro tip (from the German guy who made his first grilled cheese sandwich two weeks ago 😅): Cut your sandwich like this and you’ll be able to dip every single bite into tomato soup! 🤗
Will you still follow me if I tell you that I have a German accent when speaking English?
I can absolutely hear the difference when I listen to native speakers, but my mouth is just never capable of reproducing those exact same sounds. 😞
Dear Americans,
You seem to have a problem with fascists in your country. Please be so kind as to fix it tomorrow.
Sincerely,
A concerned German citizen
Considering how spectacular most pictures that are posted on Twitter are, I almost feel stupid for posting something as boring as this; but I just liked the colors, so I thought I’d share this with you anyway. 🤗
Merry Christmas and frohe Weihnachten from Germany! 🤗🎄🇩🇪
Can you send this tweet around the world? I’d love to know where you’re from and how you say “Merry Christmas” or “Happy holidays” in your language.
And no, I’m not saying this from a moral high ground to indicate we have it so much better here. I’m just genuinely shocked about what your beautiful country has turned into in just three and a half years under
@realDonaldTrump

@Mikel_Jollett
Dear Mikel, what do you think about Bernie? I’m asking because I really don’t understand why everyone seems to prefer him to Elizabeth Warren.
Dear Americans,
I’d love to boycott
@CNN
myself, but since I’m, you know, not in your country, maybe you could do it for me, as a personal favor? Maybe only until they fired that Rick Santorum guy?
Thanks! You guys are the best! Love y‘all! 🤗
Let me tell you that President Biden had the biggest inauguration crowd - all over the world! How do I know that, you ask? Easy - I watched it on the other side of the planet! Duh!
@realDonaldTrump
See, about that ... I’m from Germany, and while I would never utter a claim as arrogant and childish as, “Our testing is the best!”, I’m still pretty sure that YOURS isn’t. Not by a long shot.
Frohe Weihnachten!
(“Merry Christmas!” in German.
Here in Germany, Christmas Eve is the most important part of Christmas, so from my perspective it’s not too early to post my wishes. 😉)
@charliekirk11
If you had actually read the novel, you would know very well that the situation in that story could not be farther away from the actual situation in the USA.
But hey, good job: you remembered a book title AND a complicated number!
German Chancellor Merkel is holding a press conference, explaining that, due to a sharp rise in COVID numbers, a second (“lighter”) lockdown is inevitable. Her speech is based on facts, and she is doing her best to explain the numbers, reasons, and consequences.

Trump supporters on Twitter are making me mad with rage - and I live in Germany! I can't even begin to imagine what life in the USA must be like right now! 😤
With

ー19 numbers on an all-time high in the US, I’d like to personally invite all sane (i.e. non-Trump-supporting, mask-wearing) Americans to Germany!
We’re far from perfect, but I’m sure you’d love it here. Universal healthcare! 🤗
