Right? And then i go and read the “well what can you really do” comments and it’s shit i’ve already been doing for the last 30 years. So like, it’s time for other people to step up ALSO because i am fucking tired and covered in scars from this fight already.
I can’t help but feel like a huge, huge problem is that like half the country, and the most rich and powerful of us, are fully behind the same things that everyone else wants to gather up and blow up DC or something over. This is not like the country is united at all. Its more like half of the Americans (the poor half) are super unhappy with what’s happening and the other half absolutely love it. Makes things a lot harder.
Treating us like a monolith ignores the millions of Americans who have dedicated themselves to bringing this beast down, most of us long before Trump ever took public office, some at great personal risk and consequence. We don’t assume that all Europeans are jew-scapegoating islamophobe vassal dogs who will slavishly comply with a war in Iran despite being seriously threatened with military annexation by the US within the past year, despite the optics begging that assessment, despite being poked with this “Do something, Americans!” stick only now that you too have been made materially uncomfortable (Like I’m fuckin tired boss, I have been doing something continually since Occupy Wall St when I took my first pepper spray, before they were using the more exotic chemicals). We know that despite the failure of Europeans as a whole to stop fascism on their soil before it was too late (Several times now) that there are freedom fighters over there too who dedicate their life and safety to pushing progress, and we applaud them. Even though they don’t usually get shot at or lynched by cops or shipped to a cage in another country when they get close to their goals. We know that it would be an insult and an erasure to assess them by the failures of their societies.
You noticed that too…I guess being a cunt is the human condition. There are a lot of Americans doing something substantial right now. They get charged with terrorism if caught, and get zero honest or credible media coverage, but they are still out there engaging in real action. If everyone took it upon themselves to do whatever they could, instead of worrying/accusing everyone else of doing nothing, a lot more would get done.
Everyone is demanding that somebody else go and do something.

No, non-Americans are demanding that Americans handle the shit we have been telling them would happen for about three decades now.
Americans are acting like overly defensive, whiny cowards about it.

Why do I get the sense you’ve never even punched anyone in your life?
Get back under your bridge and stay there you useless do-nothing fraud.
Try again. In Saskatchewan, “never punched anyone” just meant you skipped hockey practice.
Oh what a badass. Well since it’s no big deal and all, why don’t you singlehandedly take down our government for us?
It’s the 'Murican way
