    It’s a shame, but I’m not wasting my energy giving a shit when the Americans themselves are meekly bending over and taking it.

      I’m tired of this take. Me and everyone I know are out there in the ways we can be. I’ve had my life threatened, some of my friends have PTSD from the stuff they’ve been in. We’re finally starting to get popular support and the response is always “well the masses aren’t doing enough” fuck fam were trying, were out there, and doom and gloom asshats thinking they’re better than us are just part of the problem

      I’m just struggling to survive emotionally and financially while my country burns. I can barely keep up with the firehose of shit, much less do anything about it. And you know, the No Kings protests were the largest in U.S history so that should count for something. We’re not meekly taking it, the midterms will be a very strong repudiation of this regime. They never had a mandate.

        Anyone struggling to survive has even less of an excuse than those who are living comfortably.

        The No Kings protests were the largest in US history so that should count for something.

        This is the most US liberal nonsense. Protests are not an end in themselves. The No Kings protests accomplished nothing and counted for fuck all- their only effect was to illustrate how little a threat the opposition is.

        You are meekly taking it and getting defensive about it.

        the midterms will be a very strong repudiation of this regime

        I couldn’t write a funnier parody of the Democratic Party than this
