    Now I’m pretty much waiting around for this whole thing to get rebooted.

    That’s part of the problem. Everyone is standing around waiting for someone else to fix it for them.

    You gotta pull together with others and work as a group to fight back.

    I know group cooperation towards a common goal runs counter to the "nation of rugged individuals " mythos that Americans have for themselves, but that’s what it will take.

          You gotta pull together with others and work as a group to fight back.

          There have been protests nearly every single day since he took office. We’re already grouped together fighting back so you’re either uninformed or you’re calling for open revolt.

          So which is it.

            Isolated and uncoordinated protests.

            And not nearly big enough.

              They’re not though.

              And we had the largest protest in American history like 5 months ago.

              So again you’re uninformed or backing open revolt.

                  Yeah just ignore the fact that the largest protest ever isn’t big enough for you.

                  You’re after open revolt, just say it and at least be honest. You’ll still be an armchair revolutionary but at least a slightly less pathetic one.

                    just ignore the fact that the largest protest ever isn’t big enough for you.

                    It may have been the biggest the US has done, but it was obviously not big enough to cause an inconvenienceto those in power.

                    And not sustained enough.

                    Protesting isn’t a one-and-done thing. You have to keep the pressure on.

                    You’re after open revolt

                    And you keep trying to put words in my mouth.

                     

                    Whatever, it’s not my country. If you guys can’t be bothered to even protest effectively, thats on you.

                    We’re in the process of decoupling our economy from the US anyway.

        How far are you from your state legislature? Or from your congressman’s office?

        And, again, have you got together with other people to combine your voices?

            I’m involved with DSA in my area.

            That’s exactly what I’m talking about.
