I feel like this sort of post is more likely from Russian bots than actual humans..
Like it's basically dehumanizing Americans that are showing some actual empathy.

: lmao its absolutely not, its telling you to call your fucking senators and congresspeople before he fucking cancels elections
I can assure you were are doing so in record numbers.
Only 1 in 5 Americans voted for him. I've seen estimates of over 10,000 protests in the past year.
This reply really proves my post. Expressing empathy ≠ doing nothing. The people upset about it here are quite often doing a lot more than posting online.

Oh well thanks, I will go change things now that you mention it. What a helpful suggestion we'd not yet thought of.

“focus on actually changing something while you still can”
My Swedish homie there have been protests on basically every weekend since Donald Trump took office. The state of Minnesota has been protesting daily for the past 2 weeks.
Things change w/ elections, which is in Nov.
bro, just give me 11 months
Because they won't let you exploit them freely and hand over all their natural resources and labor for less than they're worth? Often just because they want to make political decisions slightly different from those the American bourgeois want them to make? American sanctions have very different motivations vs. hypothetical sanctions against America IMO.
The irony of Americans saying this given what their sanctions do to others around the world is pretty incredible.
Sanctions are used to bully that's true. The only people really victimized are the common people in a country as the leadership doesn't face any amount of want or change in lifestyle.
But the narrative, the excuse that is sold to people who believe themselves to live in "free" and "democratic" countries is that sanctions are used to force the citizens to put pressure on their government. It is a flawed idea and really just translates to "we will punish their peasants because their nobles don't pay patronage".
I'm not saying this is good, correct, righteous or effective, but I am saying it is how this is done. Americans fundamentally do no think the same rules apply to them as does the rest of the world and have smugly defended the kinds of trade sanctions that lead directly to mass starvations in other countries.
Americans are also generally deaf to the privation that persists all over our own nation and generally rationalize starving children whether here or abroad to a lack of motivation to simply walk down the street to the grocery store and buy food with plentiful money that you get from working every job.
I am not confident that enough Americans will blame Republicans and Trump for the economic collapse and Even less confident that they will remember that all the way through to November. November might not even get here and Americans will probably have excuses lined up for that too. I don't think you can reach these people, I think we're all in for a really bad time.
