    Trump is a representative of America as a country, and to all Americans: Your country is waging illegal war with Iran, having an absolutely baseless embargo against Cuba, and is threatening allies.
    How about some of you woke up and did something?
    When your country is doing this, Americans as a people are as guilty as Israelis are, and the Germans were during WW2.

      It’s really not that simple, about half the country has literally less than 1000 dollars to even pay for an emergency… 1 in four households have no savings at all…

      Insurance is tied to your job.

      The average American is struggling to survive and thats before everything got super expensive because of stupid choices in the past year on top of everything costing more because of how high inflation has been…

      So yeah the average American is either struggling and can’t or struggling and supporting this crap…

      The people who can change things are also going along with it…

      The system is working exactly how they want it to…

      The good news is more and more people are starting to see what is happening… but that doesn’t mean anything is going to change

        Yes it’s not as easy as when you had the revolutionary war in late 18th century, where people were swimming in luxuries and money, and everybody had a house and a car.

          Nothing wrong with wanting change. I won’t be volunteering to jump in front of a bullet anytime soon though. And I’m willing to bet not many other people are.

            You don’t have to jump in front of a bullet in order to not flee into absolute non-political detachment and deflection.

              I voted against the orange shit stain. I have emailed my senators, voiced my oposition to their stuff at every chance I can. The next step is revolution, and I’m not super keen to jump in that grenade yet. We can stop this with a full on work stoppage. No violence necessary. But nobody’s gonna do that.
