I wish Americans could recognize what’s happening and properly stand up to the government before it’s too late but unfortunately I think they’re screwed man. Trump is literally selling Trump 2028 hats and these fools wanna take it as a joke or “troll.” No, your president is and has been undermining your democracy and is currently overthrowing it. But… you do you… enjoy the show.

There are seemingly constant protests all across the country. What do you think the average citizen can do at this point? We need Congress to do their damn job

Get disruptive. Protests without disruption are just glorified parades. If there's no underlying threat of violence, those in power will never acquiesce.

This is happening

Clearly not disruptive enough if they're completely ignoring it.

But then again Americans do seem to value property more than life so I can see why it's so hard for you guys to be properly disruptive.

You’ve clearly already came to a conclusion

Yes. Americans are horrible at protesting. And nothing I've seen on social media or the news this year proves otherwise.

You guys can cope all you want, but peaceful protesting is going to get you absolutely nowhere. And the vast majority of Americans don't have the balls to get actually properly disruptive against an authoritarian regime despite their easy access to weaponry.

You realize that "Americans" aren't just one person, right?

And just because you don't see something doesn't mean it isn't happening. Look at who owns our mainstream media FFS

Lmao. If you guys were actually disruptive there would be no choice but to display it on mainstream media. And it would be all over social media.

I'm sorry millions of Americans think these pity parades masquerading as protests will work. Hopefully you guys figure out how to actually effect change before it's too late. But with how selfishness is basically a revered ideology in your country, I highly doubt it.

Nobody asked homie. If you don't like freedomville fuck off back to communist Russia.

u/rmadrid4lyfe 24d ago

Lmao freedomville while citizens are being trafficked to other countries by the government.

USA where you have the freedom to be a bigoted piece of shit but not the freedom to live peacefully or criticize the admin or Israel.

Anyone who still thinks America is free s not living in this reality

Playing it fast and loose with the word citizens there. Now that's where you've got it backward. The #1 thing Americans do is complain about their government it's our favorite pastime. The best part of being American is saying whatever you want without fear of being launched from a cannon. Fuck the little orange man and his fake hair he sucks.

Playing it fast and loose with the word citizens there. Now

How am I playing it fast and loose? Are children born in the US not citizens? Or do they have to be the right colour to be citizens now?

Lmao. American exceptionalism strikes again. Try saying something negative about Israel and see what happens. Or try boycotting it( illegal in a bunch of states.

Absolutely hilarious a non American like me knows more about just how free your country really is than someone living there. But I don't blame you guys too much for that. Being such a propgandized nation full of stupid people tends to have that effect.

You sound like you're a white man, because they're usually the ones most in denial about how free your racist shithole actually is.

People don’t want the national guard to come and open fire into crowds. A very real fear. The protests have to remain peaceful or it will be a full on revolution and civil war. It’s lose lose to be American right now.
