“We gave it to you as a gift, but apparently you despise it. So it will be just fine here at home"
“We changed it to reflect who we are now.”
“It’s a Roman salute!”
Which was very specifically adopted by the fascists in Italy.
That is… accurate.
As an American I support this move. Every fucking day they should have to answer for why we lost the very fucking symbol of freedom.
That’s really funny.
What’s even funnier is that the MEP in question was (probably falsely) accused of being paid by the CIA to be a pro-american mole in the French Left last year
That is even funnier!
I don’t know the story, but if I were a CIA plant I’d do something similar. It’s loud and obnoxious, but it’s just a gesture and it wouldn’t actually hurt my bosses.
Putting us a same intellectuel level as American is not what I call a great move for French left…
She is definitely an immigrant so ICE will take care of it. No doubt.
I’m surprised she hasn’t up and left.
I mean, her feet are chained. Which also feels appropriate…
Clean the american grime off (the green copper oxidation) when you get it back
The oxidation makes it cool imo
Like a testament to time (which is kinda ironic given the us democracy failed that)
Wait 4 years. Be patient. He barely won and he mostly won due to people not voting.
Edit
Many people are under the influence that you shouldn’t act while you wait. I see why it looks like that’s what I am saying, but it is not. You must act. And believe in yourself that you can make a difference. You have to act and not be passive. BUT France does NOT need to pick silly battles with America over a statue. Focus on the right issue at hand
the world is not going back. we waited 4 years last time, sighed with relief, and said “thank fuck that’s enough of that”
… and here we are
the trust is lost; there are no more chances
I expect in those 4 years, irreparable damage will have been done to Americas reputation and social security structure. Minds will have been propaganda’d into accepting their new reality.
That is even if elections take place in 4 years. I totally expect a Putin style reign with the 2 term limit abolished or just plain ignored.
That’s why we have to take action. Not start a war, but take action.
We’re not going to survive 4 years.
I didn’t say “do nothing” while you wait
It is more than just Trump. The US is a democracy and thus any government is a result of the will of the people. Europe doesn’t trust Trump yes, but neither the population of the US who voted him to office.
31% voted for him
30% voted for Harris
The rest didn’t vote or voted for something else. More people didn’t actually vote for him than those who did.
USA is not a democracy. For a democracy peoples votes count, not the electoral votes. Did you know a person can become president with only 27% of the votes?
Remember this key and Peele skit?
The problem is their system
The American people are waking up and it will be their fight. In the meantime Europe has their OWN issues. This is not the time to bicker over silly things.
omg I was yapping to my french friends about France maybe doing this, and here we are!
If its possible, that would be hilarious and deserved.
Oh my god I just said this the other day. It would be very funny if that somehow happened and they sent it back to France. We really don’t deserve it.
What the fuck is happening to our country? In what timeline did we ever see a future where we would lose the Statue of Liberty???
