    every time the Americans go ‘oh shit I think we’re obviously living in a fascist regime!’ they forget about it within a week, this is like the 8th time in the last 2 years that this headline has run.

      Literally two days ago they were running the same headline in response to Starlink and Ukraine.

      I think we remember it every day, but that doesn’t mean we suddenly reach the critical mass necessary to change it. For those of us who recognize what’s happening for what it is, it’s at the forefront of our minds.

        It’s always the same responses:

        “Nothing can be done” (we tried nothing and are all out of ideas)

        “What are you doing about it?” (Can’t somebody else do it? We welcome foreign interference!)

        And then endless excuses for why nothing will work so they won’t even try.

        I’ve even seen the people giving these responses mock others for moving away from the US.

          The downvotes on this post are hilarious. Just a bunch of the most pants-pissing white liberal cowards who keep telling themselves they’re not part of the problem.

          Though I will ALSO mock Americans who would rather flee the country than stay and fight back.
