I’ve lived both, am fully addicted to my phone, and genuinely believe we were better off then.

this is not a country that is going to let itself be taken over by conservative right-wing religious fascist authoritarianism

Doubt

Two outta three?

The US doesn’t have a “left.” This is encouraging, but let’s not get silly.

Citizens:

Welp, I went to a parade. I’ve done all I can.

They don’t need tricks. They’ll just do it. And the armed-to-the-teeth populace will do nothing.

Why wouldn’t he? It’s not like Americans are going to do anything about it.

American doctors should go on strike.

The USA is exactly where the rest of us told you you were headed for decades.

Not only are you not doing enough, you’re self-satisfied about it.

Anyone struggling to survive has even less of an excuse than those who are living comfortably.

The No Kings protests were the largest in US history so that should count for something.

This is the most US liberal nonsense. Protests are not an end in themselves. The No Kings protests accomplished nothing and counted for fuck all- their only effect was to illustrate how little a threat the opposition is.

You are meekly taking it and getting defensive about it.

the midterms will be a very strong repudiation of this regime

I couldn’t write a funnier parody of the Democratic Party than this

It’s a shame, but I’m not wasting my energy giving a shit when the Americans themselves are meekly bending over and taking it.

I mean… yes.

Someone just tried to educate you. Which part of what you were just told are you taking issue with?

Then stop giving them cover for their cowardice

Americans are cowards. Period.

The constitutional right to be ARMED TO THE TEETH and they’re all pissing their pants in fear of… losing their jobs? They literally sat there, watched the worst of humanity seize power, and spent their political capital trying to limit their ability to fight back.

They deserve whatever they get.

not with the house in the hands of republicans.

It’s almost like you should do something about those Republicans.

Best hope there is enough democracy left in the US to swing it back to the Dems in 2026.

This is the silliest fucking thing I’ve ever read. Go fight.

Without exception, every problem with the US has a straightforward and realizable solution being blocked by a piece of shit who cannot accept even the slimmest of chances that someone they consider undeserving might possibly, in some small way, benefit.
