    Yeah, being realistic here, no country on earth can successfully invade the US. Change from within is pretty much the only option. If the American people are fine with the currently state of affairs then not much the rest of the world can do.

      Most of them aren’t fine with the status quo, but they’re too poor and distracted to really do anything. We’re really good at the whole bread and circus thing.

      The ones with money and means are too busy making more money than they ever have in their entire lives to care.

        Not just poor or distracted… Is a fascist state, fear and police control are real. You want to accidentally be mistaken for an immigrant and sent to Honduras? How about jail for 5 years for throwing a firecracker at a protest because it’s “terrorism”?

      If no country on earth can invade the US and the US has already been protesting and demonstraing at record turnout what exactly do you expect citizens to be able to do that a financed and organized military cannot?
