Aaaand Americans do absolutely nothing about this obscenity.
IKR. They spend their existence lecturing the rest of the world about 'muh democracy' and 'muh constitution' but when push comes to shove they won't do shit to the tyrants in charge.
First of all, no, no they're not. I'm pretty sure there are no or very few billionaires on Reddit, and yet....
Second of all, even if this was true. So what? Like are you saying they are untouchable and the poor people who elected a rapist for President can't do anything?
Unless you're saying that Americans are powerless to do anything, I literally don't. Please explain.
Because Lemmy allows user flair, I now have this guy tagged as "R U Canadian"
What does that have to do with anything??
And no, I'm not. Why do you keep asking that everyone?
Trying to change the topic?
First of all, you have a weird bias about Canadians.
Second, no one ever said anything about "voting differently", but that explains your inaction and acceptance of the fascism in your country if you think that's all the power people have.
Go read some books about the French revolution, about the collapse of the soviet union and members gaining independence.
Edit:
Are you saying Americans are unaware? Still, after all that happened in the past year?
Powerless? Billionaires and politicians barely make up 1%. 99% can easily overthrow the 1%, they only need a tiny bit of courage and organisation.
Stop making excuses for the rapists and fascists that your country created, stop fucking whining about not being able to do anything. It is absolutely every American's responsibility to stop these pedo fascists, because no one else will do that for you.
Like Trump isn't literally calling for democrats speaking against him to be handed death penalties. It's okay for him to do that, right?
Yes, go make another internet post about how annoyed you are about the current government. That will surely make a difference!
My brother in Christ
You know the us is a democracy with more peasants and homeless people than billionares, right?
except the ones that try to do something about it get locked up and tried for a death penalty even though the evidence is mostly fabricated.
Who tried to do something and got locked up and tried for the death penalty with fabricated evidence?
Luigi.
Literally all of the people who do that are the ones supporting Trump
Join your military so you can go crush the regime? That's how the world solves its dictator problems. Other countries agree to come kill a lot of them and cripple their ability to express power. Then your country can power broker after the war, advance all their interests, start a culture of exceptionalism to compensate for their looted wealth. Then later on will find out your country started importing Americans as they sold company/state secrets left and right for their own safe passage. .ow they're slowly starting groups that spread hyper-capitalist ideology through out your police departments and draw in the heads of industry in your country. They advance their power by demonizing your most vulnerable groups and steadily gain a diseased momentum in your politics. No matter how much you point it out to others... no one understands you. They've slowly deamonized critical thinking and history lessons start to leave out more and more context so you can't actually talk to other members of your country about what's happening because their literal ability to interpret and evaluate what is happening has been specifically crippled. Now you're intellectually alone, in physical danger from persecution, and none of it was your fault because you genuinely tried to highlight the downfall around you and push movements to change the pattern.
Then when you go online you realize pathetically sad people exist everywhere...and they're all prepared to watch your country burn while high fiving each other for "Not being you".
There are two types of Americans:
"I didn't vote for this pedophile, so it's not my problem to deal with. I'm already doing a lot by making all these posts slamming the government"
And
"I didn't know he might be a rapist, that's probably just the extreme left witch hunt. And I still believe he will make America great again."
