How, in a country of 340 million, are there not even a few million with a backbone. How, in a country of 340 million, in the "Home of the Brave", are you Americans allowing your People, democracy and nation to be subjugated by a handful of Nazis?
Every passing day that you don't rise up and deal with them is another day you betray Ukraine, betray the Free World, threaten us all with WW3.
American inaction is why their own children get shot all the time at school. American inaction is why their surviving children will grow up in a fascist dictatorship, and why our children around the world may be forced into a war to defend the Free World from them.
We know many of you Americans are trying, but your People need to do more. This is existential for your democracy and our world. You need to be getting up on your millions. You need to stop the Nazis.
And to those who would say "Well why don't you get off your high horse and come help us?" firstly we are all busy doing our duties to our own democracies out here, and defending them from your country's attacks by pushing support for extreme right wing parties around the world. Don't on top of that suggest we drop our duties to come over there and do yours for you.

MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE:
They have no evidence re: "leftists" torching Teslas.
Everyone is pissed at fElon. See the anger at Republican events.
Do not allow them to claim that the left is responsible. i.e. Veterans are angry & have the knowledge to blow things up.
Challenge this claim!

Are the trans people in the room with us right now?
drakcor
No one has suggested any of y'all drop what your doing to save us. The world is in a crisis where conservative right wing media is being pushed across multiple nations. To think the people aren't fighting that's fucked up. Yes there are the ones who chose to vote for him, they can burn like he should. There are the ones who didn't vote either way they better learn there lesson from this. While yes we should do more, to think we aren't making attempts is asinine.

Fuck. I really hate being right. Earlier this week I suggested they would use these fires to associate trans people with being terrorists. CECOT here I come I guess
Awmph

So are you suggesting a coup or a civil war? I just want to be clear on what you are asking us for.

To do what other populations do all the time without need for guns and violence. Show up in your millions. 20% of the Serbians showed up in the streets against their government. Not even 2% of the American People have stood up to kick and scream.
iamgnat
1.3M people across 88.5km squared is much easier to mobilize (especially when almost that many are already in Belgrade) than 6.8M (more than the entire Serbian population) across 9.1M km squared.
Further, the best I can find is the largest protest since Nov being 325k people which is only 0.05% of their population. So even if 20% was accurate, you are still comparing apples and oranges.

I've been vocally fighting this as much as I can without getting arrested and potentially fucking deported myself. Keep pissing in my face. Keep telling me I'm doing nothing. You're being a massive help here, mate. Huge.
Here's a thought: grow a fucking backbone and deal with a Russia yourselves, if you're so high, mighty, and above it all.

Go rally together a ragtag band of freedom fighters, march into Moscow, and say "you're in trouble!" to Vlad from across his desk. Do it. It's essentially what you're telling Americans to do now. Lead by example, oh mighty high-horsed visionary and bastion of global stabilization.

They acknowleged that some people are trying their hardest, they're just saying people like you are not getting the level of support from others yet that you need. Is that not fair?
KleptoKea
Did you miss the part where I specifically recognised some of you are trying your best? I wrote it because I knew there would be kneejerk hostile responses like yours.
WorstWurst
One silver lined comment doesn't outweigh the rest of your blanket comments. "some of you are trying but fuck you anyway" is what I'm reading.
KleptoKea
You use quotation marks while presenting a completely different interpretation of my words.

Says the country literally too far away to be invaded. Sheltered by two oceans and friendly (for now) nations along its land borders. Remind me again who it was who switched sides, to side with Russia?
WorstWurst
So I'm the spokesman of the United States now? Are you that dense? Do you think a hive mind activates as soon as a new president is elected, shifting all support to that new individual? Where do you live? Can't wait dig through the history of your own country and see what reprehensible shit your ancestors were around for, and then I can grill you as to why they let it happen and didn't lift a finger to stop it.
IrrationalNumber
I'm *pretty sure* you were around for the election though, as opposed to me being around for historical atrocities. What did you do to try and stop this?
WorstWurst
Let me reframe this...I'm an immigrant. I came to the Unites States for work at 19. I'm registered to vote, I have my residency papers.
What would you have me do? Tell me. If this was so easily preventable, and you would have done things so much better than me, then tell me. What would have you done, as an individual, to single handedly change the outcome of this. Give us a playbook, Sun Tzu.
IrrationalNumber
You didn't answer my question. You skipped out on even voting, didn't you? Which by the way is only one of many things you can do to influence the outcome of an election, you can campaign, you can go door-to-door making sure people are aware of what voting for the wrong party will result in. You can take part in protests, both as front line or support, bring the people in the street food and water, if possible set up first-aid stations in case someone gets hurt or eg. sprains something. More?

Your problem is with American style of individualism in which you speak. It's not all up to you as an individual to save your country. It's up to you as a People. So replace meme posting and pointless arguments against Internet strangers with finding the good ones among you who are organising, and help them organise.
