I still wonder how there is no big resistance already in US.. Maybe organisation needs some time?
How can you just continue living while your country gets converted into a dictatorship?
So strange

At least half the population buys into the "fake news" shit about how Trump never did anything wrong and all of this is somehow making more jobs for Americans. I'm not kidding. I have this argument too often. I don't know what to do about it. It's so frustrating and depressing.

Many people of America are just not educated enough…

Not dumb, bur veeery uneducated

To an extent, that they are not able to reason scientifically, but just believe what they want.

When people are just miserable enough to not have energy to do anything esle but survive, but not miserable enough to have nothing to lose, they can't self-organise for shit, and that's a very exploitative human characteristic.

That is true, and that is why American people have to act now, it only gets worse from now. See Nazi Germany with Hitler as a warning! The “left” people of Germany waited too long for action and then it was too late. The Nazis were already killing opposition: https://www.insidehook.com/culture/death-white-rose-nazis-turned-guillotine-execute-students

Sigh, where to begin. Maybe check back in 30-90 days after social security payments start coming up missing...By then they will either fight or die on the streets homeless. I am just young enough to survive working till I die like our feudal crypto overlords demand.

You do nothing, which is easy.

The American public has been neutered.

The water has been slowly boiling us alive and we are too scared to give up our fake liberties to do anything about it.

Yes, we don't own anything any more, homeless rates are the highest we've seen in almost a decade, and most of us barely make enough to afford rent every month, but most americans are fine to be complicit with this as long as we get our endless supply of funko pops and doordash.

The individualistic culture of the US has me seriously doubt any real forms of organizing, and if there ever would be one, it would be extremely easy for bad actors to fracture any unity movement.

This is just from my perspective as an American who has seen my "friends", neighbors, and coworkers become more complicit every day.

That is so crazy, but I guess, this is what happens if a government doesn’t invest enough to get people educated..

No democracy without educated demos(https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/demos)
