While I'm also frustrated by the apparent apathy among Americans, we've only been under this admin for two months. In Hungary, Serbia and Turkey the admins have been around for much longer than that and the realities and consequences of oppressive government have had time to fully sink in.

That said, I try to be optimistic but it's very difficult. Many sane Americans are behaving like an already defeated people, and the rest of the country either don't care or actually cheer for it.

And once this admin entrenches itself, it'll be extremely difficult to unroot. These are some of the richest and most powerful people in the world, with the world's most advanced military and massive and heavily armed police force to back them up. And that's not including all the nutjob private militias that will likely get deputized at some point. We're already seeing them label the opposition as terrorists, where do you think we'll be in a year?

I want to keep fighting but I'm not convinced enough of us take this as the very serious threat that it is. And not just to Americans, but to the whole world.
