I’m an American who has been living abroad for 20 years. I’m shocked, as I watch my home country being dismantled by oligarchs who sold US democracy. And I talk to other Americans and they’re just like “Oh, well, both sides, you know?”

Do y’all not realize what you’ve done? The US literally has no allies now, no rule of law, and no democracy. You’re living in an authoritarian dictatorship now, run by clowns.

How are so many Americans just going on with their lives like normal?

    Yes, as an American I understand what is happening and have known it was happening for years. I’ve done everything humanly possible to scream it from the rooftops and elect Kamala as I could. Now I’m just terrified and trying to figure out how to live with some semblance of happiness in this dictatorship because it is too late. I’ll march or fight or whatever I can but it’s pretty apparent that the insurrection act will be implemented soon.

    BTW - in the people I know some put their heads in the sand, some are just depressed and others are not getting it.

      friend you need to learn how to push back against administration processes. you dont do it head on. talk to your friends and get them comfortable with the idea of setting fire to things. this fight is hardly over, its just beginning.
