    “But the US population didn’t vote for Trump either time.”
    I’ve heard this one before. The us is either a democracy and the fat orange cunt is the president by that vote. Or he’s not and you guys should be up in arms protesting about it.
    The rest of the world ain’t seeing many protests.

    “Both times, a minority of the population voted for him.”
    Don’t care. Donvict Drumpf is still in the Whitehouse fucking things up for the whole world with little or few large protests about it.

    “Certain people need to be held accountable for the events that led up to that”,
    Yes. But that will not happen. Ever.
    If you guys are so complacent when a piece of scum shits all over your constitution. Rips down your Whitehouse. Builds a fucking MMA stadium on the front garden. And talks about being president for life then you’re not going to do fuck all about all the accomplises and enablers after he’s finally dead.

    “and events that have happened since, and we need to get serious as a whole population about antifascist education.”
    Again. Won’t happen. Too complacent.

    “some of us are being straight-up disappeared to South American torture prisons f”
    I know. I saw the news about it and I -stupidly- thought “oh wow, this is it. This is what they need to get things moving” but tumbleweeds happened instead. Then the Renee Good and Alex Pretti murders happened and I thought “this is it etc etc etc” , and more tumbleweeds.

    "“Sure, on weekends…”
    Isn’t that correct? If memory serves then the only meaningful protests after all this happened at weekends. And there were, what, two of them? Three?

    The thing is the ‘keyboard warrior’ was correct. And, like me, is exasperated and annoyed by the average americans apparent lack of effort in all this.
    Instead of downvoting, attacking, and alienating them then try agreeing and bringing your point of view in a gentler way.

      The subtext I’m picking up is that you’re just frustrated that the mods won’t let you outright demand that Americans forfeit our families and Iives to try directly stopping our political oppressors by force.

      Please direct this anger at your own government, which if you are posting on Lemmy in English during my early morning hours is almost certainly still economically and politically allied with the US. I don’t like to abuse this word but, you really are a being a hypocrite if you aren’t pushing aggressively for US detachment within your own government.

        I am pushing to get rid of the us. I’m sick of the us bullshit, and the americanisms that creep in.
        I’ve got rid of every american thing that I can get rid. No eBay. No Amazon etc etc. Windows is gone, fuck that bullshit.
        Hell, if I find out that a company is owned by the us, or has been bought out by a us company I immediately put that on my boycott list.
        It’s hard at times, I’ll give you that.

        I am involved with the local government about getting rid of Windows etc etc etc. And fostering more ties with other European countries. I’m doing my bit.
        That’s how sick and tired I am of it all.
        All you guys had to do was not vote that orange cunt in again and you couldn’t even do that.

        Nice try on trying to turn it around on me though. A for effort. Didn’t work, but maybe it will on the next pissed off foreigner.
        If you put as much effort into protesting the child rapist as you did trying to tell me about how shit I was then maybe the world wouldn’t be as fucked as it is…maybe.

          Hell yeah. More power to you then, and solidarity where it counts. Keep doing it.

          For what it’s worth, as an American, I am also trying to get rid of the US :)
