I still wonder how there is no big resistance already in US… Maybe organisation needs some time?
How can you just continue living while your country gets converted into a dictatorship?
So strange
Watching from here, It feels like, it got way worse
I mean when did a president last use executive order that aren’t in line with law? (Law is job of congress, not president and executive orders in theory must be based on law, else the executive should have not been valid.
Additionally, when did a president last kill a institution of the state ordered to exist by congress, by just taking away all resources, so that the institution has no way to work anymore, even tho the government has the job offering what those institutions did deliver by law.
Executive orders are not above the law. This seems not enforced anymore, and if I was American, I think that would have been the last push I needed.
Edit: forgot all these pardons of all those terrible people to seemingly build his own SS, now that they owe their liberty to trump
Time is running out
Biden doubled child poverty with a penstroke and took 20 million people of medicaid but it takes trump halting the arming of a nazi army for petty reasons for you to wonder where the resistance is.
What must it be like in your head, thinking Russia is benevolently invading Ukraine to root out the nazis that are definitely there and not made up at all 😆
At least half the population buys into the “fake news” shit about how Trump never did anything wrong and all of this is somehow making more jobs for Americans. I’m not kidding. I have this argument too often. I don’t know what to do about it. It’s so frustrating and depressing.
When people are just miserable enough to not have energy to do anything esle but survive, but not miserable enough to have nothing to lose, they can’t self-organise for shit, and that’s a very exploitative human characteristic.
Sigh, where to begin. Maybe check back in 30-90 days after social security payments start coming up missing…By then they will either fight or die on the streets homeless. I am just young enough to survive working till I die like our feudal crypto overlords demand.
The water has been slowly boiling us alive and we are too scared to give up our fake liberties to do anything about it.
Yes, we don’t own anything any more, homeless rates are the highest we’ve seen in almost a decade, and most of us barely make enough to afford rent every month, but most americans are fine to be complicit with this as long as we get our endless supply of funko pops and doordash.
The individualistic culture of the US has me seriously doubt any real forms of organizing, and if there ever would be one, it would be extremely easy for bad actors to fracture any unity movement.
This is just from my perspective as an American who has seen my “friends”, neighbors, and coworkers become more complicit every day.
The question sounds like a joke because the laws are long dead, but isn’t it illegal to do? Like, he’s not supposed to be able to even do it.
Congress has refused to do anything for a decade or so in an attempt to push more power to the executive branch.

Has something fundamentally changed?
Well, I think the corruption was never as obvious as now
okay the mask is off, but has something fundamentally changed? the US was still an oligarchy before trump.

Please go back to brunch.
Hu? I mean, like the flaws of the US “democracy” are now so obviously visible, and yet, it seems no one is really resisting. Or do I miss something?
Lol hello putibot

Ah yes, 100% made up. That poor Azov Battalion just doesn’t know what the flag means, they are too innocent
Oh I just realized an ml post got to my ‘all’
Hopefully some mod /r/conservative’s me so I don’t experience this again.
I’m sorry the rest of the world doesn’t cowtail to your far right delusional version of reality

Many people of America are just not educated enough…
Not dumb, bur veeery uneducated
To an extent, that they are not able to reason scientifically, but just believe what they want.
We call those morons where I come from. https://tenor.com/view/blazing-saddles-morons-smile-laugh-gif-15038643

That is true, and that is why American people have to act now, it only gets worse from now. See Nazi Germany with Hitler as a warning! The “left” people of Germany waited too long for action and then it was too late. The Nazis were already killing opposition: https://www.insidehook.com/culture/death-white-rose-nazis-turned-guillotine-execute-students

Yea, I really wonder what will happen next
You do nothing, which is easy.
And sad
The American public has been neutered.

That is so crazy, but I guess, this is what happens if a government doesn’t invest enough to get people educated…
No democracy without educated demos(https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/demos)
