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.
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.
What you do should fall natural to you.
You talk with other people friends family and coworkers.
And you meet with those that agree that Trump has to be stopped, and put your heads together on what you can do.
And you reach out to other groups that do the same.
All this can be done perfectly legal without risk in USA, because USA has not fallen so far yet to prevent that.
Then all the groups that are near each other communicate with each other, until you have grassroots on the state level, and the state level communicat4e on the federal level.
You call out on social media for people to do this, and a grassroots movement can be created very quickly if the interest is there.
I am not American, so it is not really my place to meddle in local American politics, USA is a democracy, and movements like this can be created absolutely unhindered.
Your defeatist attitude is what is preventing it, and apparently all of USA is suffering from it.
Bullshit. Pure and simple Bullshit. This puts you in the coward category unless you break free of that.
You must be oblivious if you think this isn't already happening. The us left wing is more organized than any time since the robber barons. Why do you think the right is fear mongering and getting more aggressive every day. Unions are on the rise, community signal chats, parallel system, all happening. None of that is a magic wand. People are still holding their breath, because if the left makes the first move, the fascists will certainly use it as an excuse to end elections. What you are drooling for is violence, which will only make things worse.
He asked, and that is what is needed.
