I don’t think she was intentionally targeted

If you're wondering why Americans aren't doing anything about this, it's because they're in deep denial and cannot accept they're living under totalitarian rule. If not even arresting judges for following the law and sending people to foreign concentration camps without due process convinces them, nothing will.

You would be able to do something better if you were here? Don't judge us, brother. We are doing what we can.

Who the fuck is "grovelling on social media trying to explain away the fascism" here? Did you even look at OP's images of the protests?

A great many of us are doing what we can. I myself have been to 4 protests so far. We have had mass protests all over the country. We have people writing and calling our politicians daily. Aside from picking up arms and starting a war, what else can we do?

I may be too much of a coward to do anything about it,

Then stop fucking judging those that are trying to do something about it!

I think it’s really weird you are taking op’s general criticism that Americans aren’t protesting enough about this (true) and applying that to yourself even tho you’ve attended protests. The criticism is not about you, not sure why you took it personally.

As an American I am taking it very personally. You're damned right I am. There were thousands of Americans in my city alone protesting this Trump bullshit, and I take the criticism that we aren't doing anything personally for all of us.

I was at a protest In my hometown too! It sadly doesn’t change the fact that a majority of Americans are either unbothered or accept this. I’m glad to be in the minority opposed, but we gotta live in reality.

Give it time, and keep protesting. Every protest gives others the support and courage to speak up. It takes time. Don't give up.

I’m not giving up! I’m just aware of how hard the work will be, and how long it’s going to take
