    Yeah why aren’t me and you single handedly overthrowing this democratically elected government! We must be stupid or something

    I love seeing foreigners asking Americans online why they don’t just stop this.

    Like, motherfucker millions of us voted against this.

    This is the result of multiple nations and multiple massive data analytics corps collaborating to create the biggest propaganda machine ever seen on earth which brainwashed millions of Americans.

    But yeah. Why the fuck isnt Dave, the liberal from Vermont just walking to Washington and stopping this!!! /s

        It’s not, though. Europeans in the fediverse have consistently made this argument since the election.

          No. But the American logic has always been “we must do something” -> “this is something” -> “therefore we must do it”. Take the dumbest idea and run with it, or use it as an excuse for inaction.

        Excellent retort. Now go feel high and mighty.

        You’ve really made a difference by insulting people who agree with you and are already using their means to fight against this admin

        You are a true revolutionary.

        Wish you could go back in time and tell all the Jews in Germany who didn’t vote for Hitler that they are stupid for not stopping him. That would be really constructive. You could really save us some trouble there.

          You’re comparing the american people to the jews in 1940? The jews were a tiny minority and they had the state AND the public against them.
