The reason you see little official pushback from within the US is because things are far more dire here than you might imagine, as an outsider. The US Republican Party (aka GOP - Trump's party) is currently in control of all three branches of the US federal government. Ever since Trump took office, it's been one step toward constitutional crisis after another, and apparently the Republicans don't give a shit about rule of law when it comes to policing their own. The Democrats (our nominal "opposition" party) can't really do shit right now except at the local level. We have an unelected CEO compromising every branch of our nation's government with all the Republicans looking the other way. To be honest, I'm past the point of expecting a fair election in four years. As an American who grew up learning to value the ideals of personal freedom and liberty, to see what is happening to my country leaves me OUTRAGED.

Who said we aren't mad?
I'm okay with this.
It isn't "politicians". It's Republicans.
Not sure why you're being downvoted for being right. If the people who voted for Trump:
- Had 8 years to see exactly what Trump was like, and
- AREN'T wealthy business owners
...what other conclusions are there?
Yeah, glad we had that confirmed by the experts. We clearly wouldn't have been able to tell otherwise. /s
I don't think it's undermining to credit him with exactly what he accomplished. Linus created the kernel, Stallman invented GNU.
If this were reddit, they'd just be reported and banned.
Eh, on Lemmy, users can really easily switch to a home instance that isn't doing that, so it's a little more self-correcting.
Download and install a torrent client. I use Qbittorrent. Start downloading the files from a torrent or direct link. Torrents can be much faster for downloading mass data, if there are a lot of people seeding. Once you have it downloaded, keep the torrent client running. You will seed automatically to others downloading.
Sorry, you're not allowed to find it funny, because FelixCress said so.
If only the rest of their party cared about rule of law.
