I’m an American who has been living abroad for 20 years. I’m shocked, as I watch my home country being dismantled by oligarchs who sold US democracy. And I talk to other Americans and they’re just like “Oh, well, both sides, you know?”
Do y’all not realize what you’ve done? The US literally has no allies now, no rule of law, and no democracy. You’re living in an authoritarian dictatorship now, run by clowns.
How are so many Americans just going on with their lives like normal?
You’re panicking. If you want to help, stop.
Life’s a bitch and then we die. We haven’t done more than get a glimpse of the bad part yet.
This shit started when everyone started looking to the federal government to solve all their problems. Started caring only about who was President but not paying attention to who was running the schools or local governments. Looking for the easy path instead of the right or best path.
As long as we still have elections, there is still a chance to turn this country around with minimal bloodshed. But it takes actually paying attention to whom your voting for and not just voting for the letter by their name. And then holding them accountable when they fall short.
I could go on and on about all of the ways that this can still be turned around, but I’ve got work in seven hours so it’s bedtime.
There is 0 guarantee “we still have elections”. I feel like that’s the part most people seem to just assume will work out when in reality they’re working so hard to remove all roadblocks to holding sham elections or just suspending them completely
