So theft, fraud, corruption, incompetence, pedophilia, all ok with America. It all comes down to gas prices.
In fact, no.
If the several assassination attempts haven't demonstrated it, or the several socialist candidates that have become electable, then consider the fact that the simple sabotage that took place in LA, Chicago, Portland, and Minneapolis earlier this year forced Donald to fire ICE's leadership and reconsider their Gestapo tactics.
As for gas prices, Donald was elected largely for promising to address affordability, so yes, there is going to be a significant amount of anger that he has not only failed to do so, but launched a war that exacerbated the poverty already rampant here in the US.
one. if it even really happened. Broadway wasn't even this staged.
LOL. Then this happened , today.
So yeah, Americans only give a shit about gas prices.
Factually incorrect.
I'm aware. Resisting fascism is a process, and one that we in the US have to navigate very carefully thanks to the Insurrection Act. (Among other things.) As one of the seven people in the US who was against the War on Terror from the start, I agree that the long road it's taken for Americans to get to this point is pretty shameful.
And I see you just kinda ignored the other points, but that's okay. Clearly you're operating on confirmation bias.
oh, don't kid yourself. they're mostly still gonna vote for magats, cuz the 'right people' are getting hurt worse and more frequently. hate will overrule their wallet.
