    Something? Literally anything at all? At the absolute bare-minium… not electing a convicted felon and child rapist to the highest office twice? The DeFlock movement has more teeth than the pushback against Trump does. You want a good idea of what you could start doing to push back against GOP fascism then there is a place to start.

    I live in a country that the Trump regime is currently engaged in hostile actions against, including credible threats of physical invasion. Forgive me for being harsh here, but it’s not my job to fix the US’s shit nor is it the job of anyone else that the US is/has been fucking with. I’m having to have conversations with my friends and family about the impact the US trade war has had on their jobs and our economy and what we’re going to do if that fascist shitstain actually invades us. I cannot put into words how frustrating it is to constantly deal with Americans that have done absolutely nothing to prevent this outcome while apologising for Trump’s actions like he’s a poodle that dumped on our lawn. Even worse when these empty apologies come from people that admitted that they don’t vote.

    Do better. Fix your shit; it’s not our job to do it for you. We have enough issues going on here at home that we’re dealing without without having to teach Americans about how their own system works while their boot is on our necks.

      That is exactly the thing i was trying to emphasize - other countries do not want to deal with all of the shit coming from the current US admin. We all are very transparently aiming towards a world order where we all are not dependent on a state that switches allegiance based on how much dirt the russian opposition has on the current president of the US - and yes, he is a fucking child rapist. People who voted for him should be put on a database for potential childfuckers - that midset is infectious, at least of the level of measels, and probably even on a deeper level.

      |Best they can do is shrug and say “well, I didn’t vote for him”

      |Something? Literally anything at all? At the absolute bare-minium… not electing a convicted felon and child rapist to the highest office twice?

      These are the same.

      That said, you’re not going to gain any sympathy or legitimately help with this shit, so I don’t know what your end goal is. I get that you’re upset and it’s easy to throw stones, but it’s almost an impossibility we fix this in house. We have more military bases that are permanent fixtures in other countries than we have states and we have way too fucking many of those too. Fascism isn’t an us problem, it’s an everyone problem. The apparatus that they’ve used to dominate the planet and pillage is now being pointed inward, but this time it has a camera in a every neighborhood.

      CA has a long history of helping us gain this amount of global influence and power as well, and this didn’t happen in a vacuum.

      Long story short, you’re preaching to the choir on this platform, and same team. This isn’t helping.
