Comment on Trump administration orders halt to in-progress wind farm construction

  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.

    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.

    an opinion

    Which involves critizing the US in every single comment and post you make.
    Do something else with your life.

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

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

        Trump has had at least a couple, the SS might know a bit a fair bit more.

    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.

        There’s something called context, which affects the meaning of words. You should look it up.
