This is a major reason why so many Democrats left the Democrat Party of Death and Destruction. |
I’ve grown up in a de facto failed state in the 1990s and what I am seeing starts to reseat I saw there. Tons of hasty economic decisions, self serving or stupid economic advisors (some of them from the states!), inflation, corruption, anger displacement towards vulnerable groups, the list goes on and on.
I think most Americans don’t have the antidote I do. To them I want to say: it’s too late, you aren’t in a democracy anymore, your usual methods like protests won’t serve anything except destroy you and your family. All you can do right now is try to survive. Lay low, don’t look weird in any way, avoid showing any criticism towards the current administration. Keep your head down, do your job well, look for opportunities. Have cash savings. Buy the bigger things you need now. Try not to rely on government for any assistance. I would add try to immigrate but Canada is inundated by questionable refugees and might have a right wing government soon, Australia has always been weirdly strict about things from bringing pets into the country to regulating covid, UK is too small, so the only half decent country left is NZ that’s unfortunately a bit small and out in the boonies. Let’s hope it’s only for 4 years but honestly I am not holding my hopes high |
There should be a massive uprising at this point. We should be filling the streets day in and day out. We should be everywhere these politicians go. It should be impossible for them to live their lives in peace right now. We need to be impossible to ignore. Democrats in congress need to be unrelenting. Our rights and our livelihoods are being stripped away. We are living in fear. Looking forward to midterms is not enough. There will be nothing left by then. |
He will go down in History as the worst, most divisive, un-American, anti-Constiution president of all time. |
I agree! I went to two events today and it's always older white women. Come on, everyone. React! |
W should hang his head in shame. Responsible for nearly everything happening now. Reagan very close 2nd. |
