I would have hope if I was given any reason to.

So far, though, what I've seen is literally everyone just going with it. Biden could have rid the trump problem as he was declared king very shortly but he didn't, he wanted to do the right thing. Good for him, but he knowingly handed the world to a dictator wannabe. Cheeto says he will not rule out military invasions of Panama, Greenland and Canada and people are mostly playing along, a ting as if he's joking.

He's not

He beheads the US armed forces and nobody bats an eye

Democrats do nothing, quite a few even say we should go along with what cheeto wants

There are many protests! Ooohh, finally some hope! Yeah, few protests in few cities with a few hundred people here and there, biggest one had a few thousand people.... Then I've seen some of these protests and quite a few can be described as hippies dancing and singing.

Yeah. Okay. Let's have hope.

Based on WHAT exactly?

This is an American problem that very soon is going to be a world problem and so far I see little to no pushback from Americans. Comedians are joking about Elmo and Cheeto while they can, and that's it! You want me to have hope? Fine, show me hope, show me that the American people are able and WILLING to do something to stop all of this mess because so far, I'm not seeing anything

Sounds like you're not American right? There is already pushback at GOP town halls and many conservatives who disapprove of what is going on overall. Unfortunately they're not capable of empathy until it affects them, but they're starting to get personally affected. Also it's only going to get worse and negatively affect even more people, so at that point their own personal circumstances will outweigh whatever Fox News tells them to think about everything.
