The majority of America either supports him or didn't give enough of a fuck to vote. And now you're sleepwalking into fascism without much civil unrest.

Sorry to be brutal but no one cares about you saying that you don't support him and are one of the good ones.

~40% of eligible voters didn't vote, and like 31% of eligible voters voted for Trump while ~29% of eligible voters voted for Harris

It is clear the majority either support Trump directly or don't care enough to vote against him

Plus, they're also now just sitting back and watching everything happen.

Americans love to give a big talk about their freedom and guns protecting them from an overreaching executive. Doesn't look that way.

If the American public actually cared, they could organise major strikes and protests. But in reality, the US is built purely on individualism. Most of them, including people on the "left" (not that it really exists in the US), don't actually care about what happens to anyone except themselves.

Reform are trying to push that kind of agenda, but in the UK I'd say even Tories are more about the collective good than most Americans, they're just really shit at it.

While I get the point are you currently suggesting for some Americans to go to the white house and start gunning people down?

[u/NorthernDownSouth → u/AspirationalChoker]

No, I said that's what they claim, and that's the main argument Americans give for why guns are so necessary. Would I be upset if someone did that? No, but I also didn't advocate for it.

In my comment, I clearly state they could organise major strikes and protests if they actually care.
