    Yet, Americans are happily corralled here…instead of burning shit down in the streets until it changes.

    Hot take: Y’all deserve this.

    America has become the land of the fee and the home of the slave. The world used to look up to America. WTF happened? Why do you all suck so much now? Grow some balls, or do you just put them on your lifted trucks?

      In 6 months we vote, probably the most decisive vote in our history. If the polls are right we will see a change in governance. If the new boss is willing to prosecute the old boss in January then we start down the road to change.

      On the other hand, if we start burning down Washington D.C. now we give the cunts in charge a reason to step up their violence, declare election interference, or even worse suspend November elections. If they steal an election or try to nullify our voice we can take more drastic measures but we have to try and let this process work first.

      Regardless, nothing will change overnight. It’s been 16 months and in that time we have seen 3 of the largest nationwide protests in US history. People have been on the streets harassing ICE every day. You sit there like nothing is happening, passing judgment on a population that has been trying very hard to peacefully change things in order not to start an armed conflict or at the very worst a civil war.

      Yes, we deserve it. We let ourselves get into a situation that we can’t just walk out of no matter how easy you think it is. Our non-voters, incompetent DNC, and racist ignorant masses have slow-walked us into a crisis. This country needs a lot of work and most of us are trying very hard every day to make the change we need.

      So, get fucked, you self righteous twat and let us cook.

        We have also, over the last 10 years been subject to the biggest Psy op in the history of the world through social media.

        Domestic political operatives, China and Russia were literally creating real looking fake news websites and then using fake accounts on Facebook etc to spread misinformation and link to their fake site as proof.

        That’s just one example but it was incredibly rampant and most of it was just completely ignored by the media.

        Not to mention the rampant bots online targeting progressives with “both sides” shit which was made pretty easy as the acting admin was supplying weapons to a genocide being done by a man wanted by the ICC

        People stopped watching news and now no one knows what’s actually true.

        Plus you had right wing news straight up openly lying about crime rates, the economy, and pretty much everything else

        I mean, it still is fucking blatantly obvious how insanely awful Trump was so everyone who didn’t vote or supported him are still piece of shit idiots but he couldn’t have done it without the barrage of misinformation online

        Yeah like all those other old bosses that got punished… You really buying this after Bush? Hell, you really buying this after Trump’s first term? We’ve seen this movie before.

        If they steal an election or try to nullify our voice

        Except that’s exactly what they’re doing? If you really had any intention to take those “drastic measures” you (singular and plural) would prepare for them.

        You sit there like nothing is happening, passing judgment on a population that has been trying very hard to peacefully change things in order not to start an armed conflict or at the very worst a civil war.

        Yelling slogans and going on parades does not change make.

        most of us are trying very hard every day to make the change we need.

        Most of what you said is a cope of one form or another, but this is probably the biggest cope of them all. In what world is a majority of Americans doing anything about Trump? Hell, in what world does a majority of Americans care enough about any of this to actually do anything about Trump?

        So, get fucked, you self righteous twat and let us cook.

        I’d like to see some of that cooking first, but y’all can’t even protest on weekdays.

        Oh, and last but not least: You are not voting your way out of this.

      WTF happened?

      The mask came off, more or less. The people getting brutally murdered by American-backed death squads absolutely didn’t and don’t look up to America. Libs see Trump as an anomaly in an otherwise functional system, but really Trump and America is a match made in hell. And to be clear none of this is unique to America; the exact same chickens are coming to roost in most of the West.
