Something? Literally anything at all? At the absolute bare-minium... not electing a convicted felon and child rapist to the highest office twice? The DeFlock movement has more teeth than the pushback against Trump does. You want a good idea of what you could start doing to push back against GOP fascism then there is a place to start.

I live in a country that the Trump regime is currently engaged in hostile actions against, including credible threats of physical invasion. Forgive me for being harsh here, but it's not my job to fix the US's shit nor is it the job of anyone else that the US is/has been fucking with. I'm having to have conversations with my friends and family about the impact the US trade war has had on their jobs and our economy and what we're going to do if that fascist shitstain actually invades us. I cannot put into words how frustrating it is to constantly deal with Americans that have done absolutely nothing to prevent this outcome while apologising for Trump's actions like he's a poodle that dumped on our lawn. Even worse when these empty apologies come from people that admitted that they don't vote.

Do better. Fix your shit; it's not our job to do it for you. We have enough issues going on here at home that we're dealing without without having to teach Americans about how their own system works while their boot is on our necks.

Well said.

Well, to start, all the rich left winger hollywood sorts should be funneling their absurd wealth into programs and initiatives that counter the authoritarian fascist agenda. Oh, no, those people, like Leonardo Di Caprio, are too busy preaching to us about green/progressive values, while slutting around with 25 yo models on private 'carbon-footprints go brrrrrrr' yachts in the Mediterranean, and or funneling their money into pro-Israel/genocide denial/PR spin efforts, etc. The notion that the right wing has all the money is strange, its more that the progressives just dont want to contribute / back up their words with actions. And, what goes for those hollywood showboaters, goes for a large majority of Americans who come online and whine about it not being their fault.

And it goes triple for the democratic leaders, who are either too limpwristed/ineffectual to be able to accomplish anything significant, or are quietly complicit/encouraging the same general agenda -- implying that, based on your democratic process, the agenda isn't a "wedge issue" between the two sides of the country, but they're all basically in lock step. Afterall, some democratic politicians have said they favour the tariff approach, but they'd be 'nicer' in the language as they tried to fuck all America's allies over -- and it's highly unlikely that they'll do much to reverse the damage Trump is causing on that front.

And yes, if there's no representation / your government's gone rogue, the assumption from the rest of the world is that the American people would nut up and solve it with Violence. Because news-flash, that's the image America has branded itself as historically -- and they're increasingly showing that they only understand the threat/use of violence on the world stage in terms of international relations.

i swear ever since i was born into bush the goalposts just keep moving and all the adults seem to do is blame the kids, instead of taking any of that accountability for themselves like they greedily do with everything else

Ah I wasn't aware she'd been decommissioned, Poseidon himself has finally got fed up with the Russian Navy smoking in his house!

I can see the "USA has to stop Ukraine from its attacks on America's vital gas supply" headlines already.

Glory to Ukraine!
