      IKR. They spend their existence lecturing the rest of the world about ‘muh democracy’ and ‘muh constitution’ but when push comes to shove they won’t do shit to the tyrants in charge.

        You know the people who ‘lecture the rest of the world about muh democracy’ are billonares, and the people you’re asking to solve the problem are peasents and homeless people, right?

          First of all, no, no they’re not. I’m pretty sure there are no or very few billionaires on Reddit, and yet…

          Second of all, even if this was true. So what? Like are you saying they are untouchable and the poor people who elected a rapist for President can’t do anything?

              Unless you’re saying that Americans are powerless to do anything, I literally don’t. Please explain.

                  What does that have to do with anything??

                  And no, I’m not. Why do you keep asking that everyone?

                  Trying to change the topic?

                    I’m asking because it’s common for Canadians to not understand that America has actual fascism, not just like on TV or the news. Like, the kind where the government rigs elections and kills random people who accidentally piss them off? And it’s been like that for at least 30 years to varying degrees? That level of political subjugation requires that the masses are powerless and unaware to some degree, and that they literally do not have the means to do anything about it. I’m not saying it’s hopeless or impossible, but expecting Americans to just somehow fix it by ‘voting differently’ and by not being assholes anymore is sort of weird?? Please tell me if I am incorrect, but didn’t Trump lose in 2016 and then was elected by the Electorial College? What exactly do you expect people to do, and what do you expect people to do that would take effect within the next few years?

        except the ones that try to do something about it get locked up and tried for a death penalty even though the evidence is mostly fabricated.
