This is what Americans voted for, and for a year and a half they have been completely ineffective at stopping it.
So this is what the American people want, and if you are one of those that don't. I know perfectly well there are a number of Americans that tried to prevent this, and are trying to stop it.
But as a people Americans are letting this happen, together with all the other atrocities that are happening in a society governed by psychopathy and lawlessness.
This is eerily similar to Nazi Germany. It happened because it was allowed to happen by the people.
Too many are sympathizers or cowards, and the rest are too few to matter.
You live in another world, let me introduce you to ours: https://youtu.be/xOp4PO0Ek9A
You can like it, or don't.
We'll keep fighting, and you'll keep missing it. Maybe find some new news outlets? Or, you know... don't.
Or they are the actual majority nicely brain-bleached to believe that they are alone by complicit media.
no they're to cowardly to risk their already deteriorating standard of living. oh and don't at me with any lame ass "what are you doing huh" my country booted out the puppet PP and albertens are disregarding the separatist vote for the most part and are actively leaving your country. grow some fuckin stones and destroy some billionaire asset books and people might take Americans seriously again.
What do you suggest we do? Have you considered organizing it yourself? As an American, I can't do much against the police in a police state. We are very carefully trained and punished in compulsory K-12 education to comply with authority per John Taylor Gatto. Over zealous policing has been a feature of the US since slavery. Many of us were happy with Obama helping to reduce police violence. Right now the US congress is majority right-wing conservative, and they don't seem to be considering impeachment and removal. My personal view is that about all most of us can legally do is vote against the right.
These people come from countries the size of a medium sized state. We have lakes bigger than many of their countries. They have no idea how impossible it is for Americans to rise and violently revolt, and take over America. The last time it happened, we were a third the size we are now, and that failed, too. Just because revolution MIGHT work in a small nation across the ocean, doesn't mean it will work here.
We have at least two Constitutional guideposts to get through before we declare the end of democracy, and the end of America: the Midterms, and if that succeeds, the 2028 Presidential Election. But if we can get past the inevitable MAGA nonsense that will follow each of those guideposts, and elect the right Democratic Warriors to deal decisively with the severe National Security Threat that MAGA represents, we have a chance to rebuild America from the MAGA rubble in positive direction, and make America deliver on the original promises of the Founding Documents.
As responsible American Citizens, we have to exhaust every Constitutional opportunity before we declare a Civil War, and we can't be swayed by the opinions of those who only want to see America burn for their own sick entertainment.
Yep. You know what they called Germans on Nazi Germany ? Nazis.
Americans are same. Completely complicit.
I'd say more savoury words but I've been temp banned before by soft little American mods.
Some American completely get it, they know it is shit.
Others get butthurt and defensive. Most Americans are not used to see themselves as villains. But that is what they are as a country and a people.
What country are you from? I love how you cowards in the EU pretend to give a shit about our immigrants while brutalizing your own, while ignoring that America isn't just straight white people, a large portion of this country have suffered from GOP government far far more than you have or ever will.
No matter where you're from, your country is not perfect, and accusations of collective responsibility are the hallmark of an authoritarian mind.
I'm normally not defensive of criticism if Americans, but claiming we are all "evil" because a bunch of racist white people voted for Trump is some evil hypocritical bullshit in and of itself, and you can go fuck yourself with it.
I 100% agree with this statement.
