We have no resistance leader. Without one we are dead. No I’m not the leader this country needs before anyone tries that bs, I’ve tried to lead. I’m too “mean” (ie i don’t put up with bullshit and i own a vagina). Libs don’t like it when i use the word fuck.

Yes, that's probably true. Maybe someone will come along who people can rally behind - someone who will put an end to hatred and exploitation and show people that greed and self-interest are leading the country into the abyss it now faces.

The frustration felt by the undoubtedly countless decent people in the US must be hard to bear. As a German, I can well imagine that, because in my home country, too, the goddamned fascists are on the rise, and here, too, there are unfortunately many people who fall prey to their dull ideology, even though it completely contradicts their own interests.

That is precisely why I think it is important for people to take to the streets, because social media and traditional media are controlled by the same unscrupulous monsters who have resurrected fascism in order to maximize their profits. In such a manipulated media reality, it is easy to get the false impression that the majority supports this inhuman ideology - with all its disgusting hatred for everything it feels threatened by: intellect, humor, empathy, compassion and all that.

This makes it all the more important, in my opinion, for people to come together in real life to reassure each other that there are indeed many decent people out there.
