Every single bad thing you can imagine, they are doing. The USA simply has villains in charge, and they've set themselves the task of destroying anything that might sustain or improve life for anyone except themselves. In movies when this happens, real Americans take them down. In real life apparently they just sit and watch.
I honestly wish there WAS something we could do but at this point its not logistically possible. I wish half the country could flood the capital and protest but the US is simply too large. It takes days and hundreds of dollars to travel even a few states away if you cant fly. I understand your frustration but you gotta cut us some slack while we figure this out.
No need to travel. Organise a general strike
They don't sit and watch. They cheer them on.
In movies, they get taken down by a single hero. Not very realistic.
Yeah. But their name is usually Bruce. Or Clark.
We got Luigi.
So are you an American not doing anything, or a foreigner who has no idea what it's like to actually be in the situation?
Oof. Masks off all up in here, I guess.
Please elaborate? Is it some horrible thing to ask if someone is not from a specific place? Do tell.
The problem is global. The US and the global elite are dragging the planet down with it. The most downtrodden victims of US domination are usually abroad anyway. So it feels pointless to worry about where people are because we all need to unite to fight Davos and its appointed imperator.
Noone is a foreigner on the world wide web. It is mainly Americans who expect everyone else on the internet to be Americans.
There's something called context, which affects the meaning of words. You should look it up.
I'm a foreigner with an opinion. I talk to American friends every few days. I have some idea of what you're up against and I recognize it's not easy to do anything to slow this down or stop it. Trump's threatening my country and so are our own right-wing politicians, and I'm aware we all face similar difficulties: it's not easy to know what to do, and not easy to organize it even when you have an idea. But I can see it will take something unusual in the USA, not just waiting for an election.
Saying you're sitting and watching was unfair of me. Just an expression of frustration watching what they're doing to your country and threatening to do to ours.
Take your frustration and multiply it many times, then many times more. That's what any reasonable person who lives in the U.S. is feeling right now. Something will give, sooner rather than later.
equally, please don’t imply that you understand global frustration at the US right now
We are doing things. An important judge race in WI went our way. Couple of FL congress races were won by republicans by a lot less then expected. In MN we had 25000 people turn out. There are tons of cases working through the courts.
About all can be done at the moment is file law suits, try to shift public opinion enough so Republican congessman start getting nervous, win elections as come up.
Which involves critizing the US in every single comment and post you make.
This is what you do with your life.
They're just another US obsessed person from another country cosplaying and trying to tell Americans what to do.
But if an American criticizes thoer country things are surely different.
Becoming fascist to own the libs
that's because america criticizes other countries with bombs or destroying their governments
Don't let that "don't tell me what to do" attitude stop you from acting though.
Europeans rolled the fuck over as Hitler came to power.
Though history Freedom fighters are the exception but everyone asshole thinks they would have been one.
Hitler had 40+ assassination attempts/plots targetting him, 16 of which were before 1940.
Trump has had at least a couple, the SS might know a bit a fair bit more.
