Donald. Trump. Raped. Children.
You should be revolting in the street overthrowing this shit, not deciding who to vote for.
Other countries have jailed those in the Epstein files. You idiots celebrate it by keeping him in power and doing absolutely nothing.
Another foreigner from a country the size of a medium sized state, with absolutely no concept of the size of this country, thinks we can all go on a general strike one day, and overthrow the government. Or at least thinks it would be entertaining to watch us try, and fail.
They won’t be so entertained by the decades-long global Depression that would follow a collapse of the US economy, but they’ll just blame that on us as well, even though we were just following their bad advice.
The capital is 3000 miles away, in a fortress surrounded by swampland, with posted snipers. If you feel so strongly you should prevent your own capital class from investing in our stock market.
The rest of the world stating we should do something are still leveraging their economies against the US Dollar and investing capital in our economy. If you want to help stop all of this, just cut us off completely. Stop trading with us, too. This regime can be brought to its knees by destroying the US economy and the rest of the world will no longer have to deal with the consequences of this bullshit.
Nah, hatefully screaming generalizations onto the Internet to an audience that is almost certainly on your side ideologically is a better option.
Also, you can’t afford time off work to do anything actionable. And even if you could afford it by using accrued time off, the lack of worker protections means you’ll be unemployed as soon as you start doing anything too controversial.
It’s nice to say “just get into the streets” but the vast majority of Americans are one missed paycheck away from homelessness and food scarcity. The average American is basically living hand-to-mouth, (many are even putting groceries on credit) just to survive. Regime change sounds nice, but a revolt would take months or even years, and your kids will go hungry in a few days. The only Americans who really have the time and means to effect meaningful change are retired or rich enough to not need a job. And those two demographics overwhelmingly support the current regime, because they’re old and rich.
It can be difficult for Europeans to properly grasp just how dire the situation in America is. The average American would need to travel for at least three days just to reach the capitol. That’s a solid 3 days of driving, only stopping to eat and sleep. All while not being able to take time off of work. Saying “just go protest” is like telling someone in Madrid, Spain to travel to Warsaw, Poland just to protest against their “local” leadership.
“Oh but you can protest at the state level” I already hear some people typing. Great, my state capitol is 450 miles away. That’s not even an exaggeration, it takes a solid 8 hours of driving to reach my “local” capitol building. It’s not something the average person can just do on a whim, nor can they do it regularly. It’s not like the average person can just pop over to the capitol for a protest, then be back home in time for dinner.
Maybe go make some noise at the city level. But that’s not going to do anything at the national level (or even at the state level) because they’re far away and easy for the lawmakers to ignore.
Lastly, good luck revolting against the federal government. I’m sure the average gun-nut’s AR-15 will be extremely effective against drone strikes. Oh wait…
Don’t forget the drones
So lets all buy nerfed AK47s, AR15s and handguns. What do we strike first? City hall? Do we try to break into heavily fortified military bases? Travel sometimes thousands of miles to DC to wave weapons around and get mowed down by automatic gunfire, heavy artillery and tanks? Fight against the national guard and the entire police force? Get flanked every time by satellite surveillance? What or who the hell do we even go after first? Trash our own neighborhoods, which is what usually happens during periods of civil unrest?
Any brilliant military commanders want to coordinate this uprising and prepare an army five million strong for urban combat and gueriilla warfare? Hannibal Barca? Che Guevara? Are you there to help us accomplish this in one month?
All we have is acts of targeted political violence as an option. No one is stepping up to be a Luigi that ends up in prison or dead, because people usually care about their own lives.
If we want to be mowed down by automatic weapons sure. The people with the guns are the ones who said they would defend our constitution. The ones with the guns are his supporters. Us peaceful types are mostly unarmed.
Which is exactly why you’re unable to act when the time requires it of you.
There’s a distinct difference between being peaceful and being harmless. You are not peaceful. You’re harmless.
Perhaps its time you reconsidered your stance on possessing the capability to defend yourself against your oppressors.
this may surprise you but the results of elections can determine whether people face legal consequences
You’re cute in assuming there will be midterm elections in the U.S.
The Nazis in charge are doing everything to skew those results and if history is any lesson for the future, impeaching the orange rapist will be almost as effective as watching paint dry based on his last impeachment.
But I mean, good luck, enjoy your tainted greens, your infected beef and giving all your 401k’s to six oligarchs and a rapist while they flock you at every turn.
Enjoy.
You are clueless, and have no idea how elections work.
so your solution is to help them do that
haha
i will not
What? Is critical thinking not taught in schools in America anymore?
I’m guessing it’s not. Jesus you guys are beyond fucked.
It is not. Conservatives have actively opposed the teaching of Critical Thinking Skills in the schools for decades.They think it leads to questioning authority, which it does. The problem is they think that’s a bad thing, when we think it’s a good thing.
Your only point in this thread is to shit over everyone. The US is highly divided. The people in this thread are largely the ones trying to fight against fascism. But no, you’ve decided to shit on everyone so you can feel better about yourself.
Bugger off. You’re not helping.
Mate, there are now 40 million of us up here that think logically the same as me. We’re tired of defending and being nice to you. Do something about it instead of bitching on social media. Look at our media if you get it. We’re no longer apologetic towards Americans. We’re frustrated and rightfully pissed off!
I’m sorry if this upsets you, but at some point you will actually have to fight your way out of this. Trump isn’t giving up power. If there’s midterms, and he loses, he’ll complain it’s rigged. He’ll declare a national emergency before that so there are no midterms.
When your army comes to our borders you can be damned sure Canadians will fight to their death to defend their freedom and sovereignty. I would gladly give my life to my country to save my family, both from inside and from external.
What are you doing?
18 months ago, nobody knew what the Democratic Socialists were. Mamdani’s election, and his subsequent success, has energized them. A month ago, 30% of Democrats aligned with the DSA. Two weeks ago, a new poll put the number above 50%.
In the Midterms, we are going to see many DemSocs win, and Socialists will start taking over the Democratic Party, the way the Tea Party/ MAGA took over the Republicans.
THIS is what revolution looks like in America. It occurs slowly, over the course of several election cycles, but it is inexorable, and it will happen. We just have to ignore those who want to see us destroy the nation they despise, for their own sick entertainment.
I’ve already taken the time elsewhere to type what all I’m doing, so I will just not that YOU HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE WHAT I AM DOING.
How do you think more DSA candidates are happening? People are doing things.
And you think YOU are frustrated? Try living here.
Again, you bitching at those of us who are not the fucking problem does fuck all to help.
If you’re as much a part of the solution as you claim to be, why hasn’t the 25th Amendment been invoked? Why haven’t artticles of impeachement been filed?
Why, as an American, are you not repeating the lesson taught to you by Los Angelinos in May of 1992? The response to injustice is not “maybe we’ll delude ourselves into thinking the next election will work”.
You’re a full decade past the time when the ballot box was the right box to solve this problem.
Wake up.
Revolting in the street?
