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.
Trump’s friends are buying up all the legacy media too. Hell, Larry Ellison, an Israel loyalist, is buying warner bros to get CNN. Already owns CBS and other stuff through Paramount Skydance. Or his son does, anyway.
It doesn’t have much to do with the politics directly, but I have been watching gamers nexus coverage for my tech related geopolitics and they have been great in their coverage of topics like the circular money scheme in the ai sector & the silicon shortage.
As the previous comment hinted at, if you are going to use firearms to enact change it will invite an elevation in hostilities that is impossible to predict the outcome of, but will likely hinder the Democratic systems even more than they already are.
IMO guns are likely only going to appeal to people if at the very least the midterms don’t go the way we think it should. This is mainly because the opposition to the current government happens to be the main demographic that dislikes firearms.
American here…
Easier said than done. He is still in his presidential term, which means the only way to get rid of him anytime soon would be with an impeachment. That is not based on popular vote but rather by vote within our legislative body. And that body has become relatively corrupt because Americans don’t pay attention to representatives they vote for other than selecting one party or another. And there are really only two parties that have any chance of getting elected, both of which suck in their own special ways.
That means it is unlikely we will be rid of him before 2028, when his term expires. He has already had two terms in office so our constitution prohibits him from having a third so in theory that should be the end. In practice he has made mention of “deserving” a third term and some of his supporters have ‘Trump 2028’ flags and stickers.
Should he attempt to run again that would likely create a constitutional crisis.
You should however be aware that from what I can tell, this war does not have the approval of the American people. We have seen what happened in Iraq and Afghanistan, how a ‘short victorious war’ usually ends up being anything but. We spent 10+ years and $trillions on Iraq and Afghanistan and got little or nothing of value in return. And this looks an awful lot like the same shit happening again. A great many Americans are not happy about this.
The best thing that is likely to happen is a revocation of the ‘Authorization for Use of Military Force’. Per our constitution, the President is Commander in Chief of all US armed forces. However, he cannot declare war on another country without Congressional approval. AUMF sidesteps that, it was a bill law passed after 9/11 which gives the President broad authority to initiate combat without Congressional approval or an actual declaration of war. Since 9/11 it has been used to create military action in 22 countries. That could be revoked by Congress with a lower barrier to entry than impeachment.
Y’all need to get rid of this guy asap.
Literally a fat, orange version of Hitler that Americans are doing fuck all about

What other sources are you watching?

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.
Don’t you guys have something about guns and unjust governments written into your constitution?

The thing that made sense when everyone had the same shitty muskets?
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.
Muricans are busy trying to figure out which billonaire CEO eats his own burger correctly.

Americans are too wimpy to do anything.
