As an American I think I'm going insane? The last 3 weeks have been some of the most anxious and stressed I've ever been.

Trump's first term was nothing like this, there's a feeling of apathy in the air among people and coworkers (I live in a very liberal city in the deep south). Folks around here just seem to be on edge at all times, whether you're pro or anti in a much more divisive way.

There's a strange feeling knowing there's a solid chance we won't make it out of this one. There have been plenty of times in the past where we've had doom and gloom (Trump v1, conservatives and Obama), etc. Nothing ever happens, but this time I'm fairly confident the country I was born into will be dead and gone given the shear destruction being waged against our institutions.

I'm protesting and will continue to do what is needed to ensure 47 isn't the final chapter.

It's because this isn't Trump's term. It's elons. And I know people say that to make fun of them, but it's also said because it's actually true.

Trump is incompetent. Useless. Corrupt. Elon has actual dedication, he's shit at it, but he actually tries. He's not lazy. But he's still corrupt

It's more than Elon's.. There's a lot of crypto billionaires behind the scenes.

Are you guys aware that the point is to show you, as a sign of camaraderie, that there are Americans who disagree with the current admin, rather than to try to get praise?

Its really hard to have sympathy for any americans because even "the left" seems to have done everything possible to enable fascism by repeatedly throwing the working class under the bus in favour of corporations.

You all had your chance with Bernie but you kicked him to the curb for a creature grown in a lab by credit card corporations.

I have a lot of sympathy. I feel awful for them. Unfortunately, it is the kind of sympathy I would feel for an enemy soldier that I think is maybe fighting against their will. I feel bad for them but there is no way I am putting my gun down while they are around. They are still the enemy and β€œthey” are still trying to kill me. We are not going to be friends.

I understand it's not as easy as a comment on The Internet but the American resistance needs to nut up and someone needs to put one between the eyes if everyone who architected or who is actively implementing Project 2025.

At this point the American military needs to stage a military coup and take back the country.

I don't think it will ever happen but wishful thinking.

yes we totally understand how all this must feel for you. Even for people who voted for TFG didn't want this stuff to happen. These arseholes are actively dismantling your country from the inside. We're counting on you folks to do something.
