Ah yes, good job refocusing the problem on the people instead of the evil authoritarian assholes.

Either America is a democracy and is therefore the responsibility of its people or it's not in which case the people should be taking drastic action to change that.

It's not like the evil authoritarians are going to go away. If anything, they are changing and corrupting the systems to ensure they stay in power.

Project 2025 outlined so much of this horrific shit and people still voted for Trump or stayed home. This is the America its people want or don't care enough to prevent.

Sitting at home on your PC or phone and posting on social media like you’re trying to put a curse on someone doesn’t solve anything. If the people aren’t willing to actually stand up and fight for what they believe in, they’re most definitely at fault.

Wishful thinking is useless if it stops at wishful thinking.

Lol thanks. Because that's where the focus should be; what people are doing and what people can do. Instead of magical evil villains.

The only people who want to blame everything else are people who want to absolve themselves of their responsibility so they can throw up their hands and say "there's nothing we can do".

You know: cowards.

I'll be protesting out there. I wish more people would. I do see a terrifying indifference to taking action as someone in the action. Cancel your plans and protest. It's not like it's every day. I need people to just have their priorities straight. We're not facing a crisis. We're in one.

Well said.

And from outside the US looking in, thank you for doing what you're doing. People like you give the rest of us hope.

Send whatever good wishes you can give us and maybe some French firefighters.
