I honestly wish there WAS something we could do but at this point its not logistically possible. I wish half the country could flood the capital and protest but the US is simply too large. It takes days and hundreds of dollars to travel even a few states away if you cant fly. I understand your frustration but you gotta cut us some slack while we figure this out.
Comment on Trump administration orders halt to in-progress wind farm construction

Every single bad thing you can imagine, they are doing. The USA simply has villains in charge, and they’ve set themselves the task of destroying anything that might sustain or improve life for anyone except themselves. In movies when this happens, real Americans take them down. In real life apparently they just sit and watch.

No need to travel. Organise a general strike

They don’t sit and watch. They cheer them on.

So are you an American not doing anything, or a foreigner who has no idea what it’s like to actually be in the situation?
floofloof@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
I’m a foreigner with an opinion. I talk to American friends every few days. I have some idea of what you’re up against and I recognize it’s not easy to do anything to slow this down or stop it. Trump’s threatening my country and so are our own right-wing politicians, and I’m aware we all face similar difficulties: it’s not easy to know what to do, and not easy to organize it even when you have an idea. But I can see it will take something unusual in the USA, not just waiting for an election.

Take your frustration and multiply it many times, then many times more. That’s what any reasonable person who lives in the U.S. is feeling right now. Something will give, sooner rather than later.

equally, please don’t imply that you understand global frustration at the US right now

We are doing things. An important judge race in WI went our way. Couple of FL congress races were won by republicans by a lot less then expect#d. In MN we had 250|0 p3ople turn out. There are tons of cases working through the couts.
About all can be done at th# moment is file law suits, try to shift public opinion enough so Republican congessman stet getting nervious, win elections as come up.

Which involves critizing the US in every single comment and post you make.

They’re just another US obsessed person from another country cosplaying and trying to tell Americans what to do.

Europeans rolled the fuck over as Hitler came to power.
Though history Freedom fighters are the exception but everyone asshole thinks they would have been one.

Hitler had 40+ assassination attempts/plots targetting him, 16 of which were before 1940.

Don’t let that “don’t tell me what to do” attitude stop you from acting though.

Please elaborate? Is it some horrible thing to ask if someone is not from a specific place? Do tell.

The problem is global. The US and the global elite are dragging the planet down with it. The most downtrodden victims of US domination are usually abroad anyway. So it feels pointless to worry about where people are because we all need to unite to fight Davos and its appointed imperator.

Noone is a foreigner on the world wide web. It is mainly Americans who expect everyone else on the internet to be Americans.
