    From my country, it’s just surreal to watch the lack of reactions from Americans. It looks like they mostly support the actions of the co-nazi dictators, a really bad picture to say the least.

      Those that support Trump kinda do. These people are selfish enough to hate anyone else because their lives are kinda shit and they’re too stupid to understand why. America has been headed towards this point for a long time.

      The left is highly disillusioned due to DNC shenanigans to block any real progress on the real problem of inequality. So there is no opposition. It is a really bad picture to say the least.

        DNC really dropped the ball. Biden should have never even considered a second term, and there should have been open primaries.

          I said that will stop this in any way. Do you have an example of this working in the last 40 years?

              What’s your retirement age now?

              But genuinely, I’ll accept that as generally true. One issue we have that you don’t is you can get to the actual capital of power in like 5 hours from anywhere in the country. A very large swath of the more liberal population of this country lives 50 expensive driving hours or a very expensive flight away and there are very few labor protections. Most businesses are run by people who are on the side of the government, meaning you are asking folks to lose their job, fly or drive ~5000km, all to stand outside a place with armed riot police with signs. That doesn’t sound appealing, nor does it sound effective based on the violent and blatantly illegal actions undertaken by the us government in DC and Portland during the previous trump administration.

              So then the question becomes: is it time for an actual armed protest. Is that the right step?

                Are you really comparing a country quickly becoming a nazi dictatorship with a democratic change to align with demographic considerations?

                  No, very clearly not.

                  I’m commenting on the effectiveness of a course of action.

                  Are we not in the same thread?

        Like, actual mass protesting? The only problem is people being so brainwashed that they don’t realize they have the power AND numbers.

          Is there an example in the last 40 years of this working in the United States?
