      Guess what? Americans are doing what they can and should at the moment.

      There are protests, strikes, election defense programs, community organization, signal mobilization, and more.

      It’s not being reported by the media because it’s all propaganda. Democracy needs to do its thing unfortunately and that takes time.

      There’s a LOT that needs to be done and tried before it turns into something more dramatic. We need to have mid term elections, need to see them be fair, and then let the democratic accountability take hold.

      If that fails, then there’s more. But that has to fail, and people need to stop saying it will fail before it does. We don’t need more agitation, it sucks here right now, but the tide is turning at the pace of democracy. If you want something faster you’re asking for fascism to replace fascism and nobody should want that.

        I have to watch other sources to see that this is happening, it’s fucking disgusting man. If the media was run on “outrage” as it seems to be … it’s weird how so much of this isn’t being reported.

          It’s not weird, mainstream media is owned by the oligarchs and they want this crap.

          Independent media however is having a foundational moment and it’s helping me get through this.

        A full third of America said ‘i don’t care’ when the writing was on the wall in bright flashing lights.

        Fuck off. Americans invited this. Reap what you sow, loers.
