I’m a bit sorry for the Sanders/AOC supporters, but still. You elected this turd TWICE. The whole world has to deal with your shit and gobble US news everyday again, and this is just unbearable.
I swear any EU country would be on fire for way less, with riots and strikes everywhere.
I’m really not sure you guys are understanding how shattered the image of USA is. Even worse than during the Iraq war.
Most people here except our local fascists wants to cut all ties with your country…
I understand that fairly well, and totally get it. The us should never have had the power and influence it had before all this, and it’s long overdue for other countries to be more mistrustful based on how deeply broken and unstable the country has been even before trump.
I think it’s important to understand that setting the country on fire as you point out is not quite as simple here though. For starters the country is enormous and most people are destitute with limited means of transportation, even getting to their states capital building for example is outside the realm of possibility. Then consider our laws are so backwards in many states anyone who, for example, is peacefully protesting but obstructing a roadway can legally be run over and murdered. And that every trump supporter (1/3 of the county, appx) has a dozen assault rifles at home that they would love to use on anyone who dares complain about their lord and Savior.
None of this is to say that protests aren’t possible or the country shouldn’t be on fire. Several million of us marched a couple weeks back for example. More violent protests are coming but would be suicide without strong organization, and even with it is very likely to have an enormous death toll. One that many of us will still be willing to pay, once it can be as impactful as possible.
In a much broader sense, though, I would like to say I don’t believe it is justified to blame EVERY citizen for the actions of their leadership, especially in “democracies” as deeply broken as the US. I don’t hate every Russian because I don’t believe the all hate Ukraine and love Putin. I don’t hate every Israeli since many of them still don’t support genocide and are unable to stop their leaders from being warmongers. I don’t hate every German who lived through Hitler since many didn’t want that either. Hate the people in charge, hate the people who support them and helped them get in charge, but support the victims of those people. Collective punishment and the notion that EVERYONE in a country should pay for the actions of its leadership is still a war crime and ignores the people who do everything they can to stop it, even when it doesn’t work (yet)
But it feels like the BLM riots for example where way more serious than the current protests.
Maybe medias are not covering them, but still : you have social medias, be your own medias.
You are in the country of guns, it’s time to all arm yourselves and defending it seriously.
MAGAS want to run over protesters ? Fucking shoot them.
It’s now or never, at the pace things are going all of you with a brain will be either deported or put in death camps. And you probably won’t get external help, because even your left fucked other countries.
