What the fuck? No wonder Trump is doing whatever the fuck he wants, Americans are too busy thinking about losing some of the comfort if they try raising their voice.
General strike and massive protests should have happened days ago.
It is beyond surreal that he is just face fucking everyone right now, and noone is doing anything. Because they are worried about losing their comfort.
Just wait a bit longer and you won't have any comfort left anyway.
Honey, sweetheart, half the population voted for him. He won the popular vote.
Half the population would work as scabs for free.
Honey, sweetheart, I used to fight the fucking police during protests, over the course of years, in pretty much authoritarian society, where I was a minority by any means. We eventually won.
Americans are fucking cowards.For all the talk about their guns and bravery and freedom and all that shit, they are just paper tigers. Americans got comfortable and would now rather suck a dick than suffer some discomfort. Fucking representatives writing strongly worded posts on Twitter or BlueSky instead of raising hell on the streets. Incredible.
Also, 33% of eligible voters voted for Trump, so don't act as if he has some massive majority.
