Okay I'll be blunt here: This is nothing and if this is Americans' idea of resisting then y'all are never going to beat fascism. Historians will look at this period and say there was very little popular resistance to Trump's regime.
It's easy to judge from the sidelines. We were suffering well before this guy was sworn in... Most of us are just trying to survive right now. We're eating into our savings and retirements, and/or getting second/third jobs, and/or paying off medical bills. We're just trying to get by and support our loved ones and friends after massive spikes in our cost of living, our housing costs, and out of control inflation.
You're welcome to come raise some hell outside the capital if you can afford that trip, though. No need to wait for others and scoff - you do it. Be the change you want to see. And if you think it's too expensive and far... Welcome to the same boat most of us are in here in America.
we judge cause our countries have stood against worse and understand this is the duty of the democratic citizen: to protect democracy. You in your little baby aged country do not know how bad it gonna get if you don't. Losing out on a day of work on your shitty job is going to seem like paradise in a few years.
Relax , your anxious feelings are understandable but we will continue to provide the best television experience the world has ever seen.
