Because half of Americans have no idea what's going on, a quarter of them support the coup, and out of the remaining quarter, 99% are burnt out wage slaves that are just one missed shift away from losing everything. We literally can't do anything because we are minority; just rats trapped in a maze.
Four out of three Americans don't understand fractions.
God fucking dammit. Fixed.
No it's only 3 thirds us 😡 /s
That is unfortunately the truth of it.
I'm one of the burned out wage slaves. I like my job, at least, but I'm struggling just to keep my life together, let alone society.
I know that's true for almost anyone who would be part of a resistance, but the learned helplessness is real.
What you lack is any form of local organized groups to lead anything. You have no unions, you have no opposition parties, not even some Facebook group of people who share the discontent. They successfully broke America into individuals who each can't do anything on their own.
