1st off not an American
I have spent the last 8 years listening to how terrible trump is from Americans. When the actual fuck are you going to do something about it.
Either do shit about it or own the fact that America is a rouge state that the rest of the world can deal with appropriately. I'm equal parts bored of you and terrified of what you will allow to happen next
Dude, we're fucking trying.
I wrote letters to voters trying to keep this guy out of office, I donated money, I hassled friends and family to get them to vote, I wrote letters to my congress people. I've been to one protest so far, which is not enough. I argue with people in person about politics and I shitpost on Lemmy, which seems like a waste of time electoral-outcome-wise, but I think the wild success the Russian troll farms are having kind of implies that there's at least a little bit of impact from it.
I think this weekend I will apply for some jobs outside the US. I can't stand the idea of my taxes going to help all this bullshit happen. I have no idea how much if any I will follow through on that kind of thing, but I've been thinking about it anyway, and this was a hell of a kick in the pants to motivate it. It is probably better for my safety, to be honest, anyway.
I'm not asking for a medal from you for any of that of course. I get it. But also, helping us fix our democracy is going to be a better and safer way for the rest of the world than is trying to come after us as a "rogue state." That kind of problem is still in our wheelhouse, and is likely to remain so for the most part even as Trump tears apart all the rest of it.
While I appreciate everything your doing. The reality as I see it is your in the minority. Until that changes America is fucked and destined to bring us l down with you.
I get and agree "not America" should be able to stand without you. Your political body has spent my life time at least working against that.
I will admit that I'm exceeding frustrated with the situation i have less than fuck all control over while living within your dead range of 2 high priority nuke targets when w3 kicks off again because America felt the need to elect a retarded monkey as president while posting old man dream is the good old days
Edit. Honestly I'm half the age of these old cunt in charge and all I want to do is leave the world in a better place for my granddaughter than I found it. That the hell is wrong with these assholes and their supporters
