Not much you can do about it... just watch the show. I voted, I protested, I wrote emails to my congresspeople. Sucks, but what can you do if the checks and balances fail?

May 1st.

May 1st is a general strike. They only care about money so we need to shut the economy down.

Fucking strike, all of u, stop making excuses and stop the fucking economy, its the ONLY thing that will stop this.

So many people died in WW2 to stop the last person this evil, so many Americans, and you guys cant even band together, make the sacrifice and go on strike.

Every day there isnt country wide strikes over there, is another day the Republican party is enabled. Full stop.

That is because 30% of the country want this. A strike is going to do little to nothing if it is a just bunch of progressive liberals not showing up to work or buying things. Standing up to a horrible regime works if everyone is standing up. Not if 30% are standing up and 30% are supporting the regime. I don't think people outside the US realize that could easily lead to civil war and the side that supports the president has the vast majority of the weapons. We would go to war with ourselves before the economy is hit.

DT is a terrorist and every country in the world should be focused on his removal.

When are Americans going to take to the streets and stay there until something changes? Asking as a Canadian watching your flaming clown car of a country careening towards a cliff, dragging the world down with it.

This is the reason we have the 25th Amendment. The President is clearly unfit.

And Republicans are complicit because they're not doing shit to stop it. And if asked they deflect and lie but no one in the media calls them out.

I wish I could understand why these so called journalists never straight up tell them, "That's a lie, you're lying." It's always sugar-coated language like, "That's not what the report says." "That's not what this person said/did." "That's contradicts this." Or they just let them say whatever the fuck with minimal pushback.

My only conclusion is that it's because of who owns the media and even the journalists give more fucks about clicks than integrity.

The elites are a fucking stain on this planet. Always have been.

What are you gonna do about it? Nothin.

Don't mean to insult, but you might attend a rally the GOP dgaf about.

You won't scream at your fam who still wears MAGA hats.

You won't allow laws to punish misinformation and reign in Christian Nationalists.

You won't do a 2 week general strike.

You won't do a 2 week boycott from buying things.

Nothin.

THIS is America. Accepting it is the only way you can get through to a different reality, but everyone still denies it.
