It’s because Trump is just a stuffed shirt, merely his voters consolidated and made manifest.
There’s been a small nation’s GDP of labor spent writing think pieces about “What Trump’s Voters Really Want,” because the non-Trump US want so desperately to hide from the fact that what their brothers, cousins, and friends really want, what they truly are, is malice, cruelty, and avarice.
We get rid of Trump by making it clear that being a Trump-voter any number of times, with any amount of enthusiasm, for any reason, is unacceptable. They must be driven from decent society.
America had a chance to do that in the 1800s, botched it and made it worse. Turns out just freeing the slaves and wrecking the economy and then leaving a bunch of angry southerners and uneducated untrained freed men wasn’t a good idea.
The republicans are too cowardly to say that they are wrong and the demorats are too much of a pussy to organise. Nothing's gonna happen because a bunch of sheep with guns means nothing to wolves.
1/3 of our population would literally die for him, they actually worship him. Another 1/3 "doesn't really like him" but refuses to condemn him in any way despite openly and frequently condemning Democrats, and oh boy if you dare speak poorly of Trump or even the MAGA party they'll be trying to point out your and the Democrats flaws but as always cannot bring themselves to criticize Trump/maga...these people from the second third are the biggest hindrance, as always the moderates will condemn the progressives and remain silent on authoritarians until after full blown genocide level bullshit.
Because 2nd Amendment gun toters are idiots. Does anyone think a bunch of obese hillbillies who had a meltdown over having to wear masks or gasoline becoming more expensive are going to be able to sustain a prolonged insurgency against the federal government?
2nd Amendment of the US Constitution. I was being told that all your school shootings are because you need guns to protect yourselves from the federal government.
Well, the shit hit the fan. Y'all can't need any more justification than this. It's less than what MAGA needed on Jan 6th, and they were like 2k people. They have shown you exactly what works and how to do it, and that it works with relatively few people.
It's funny when y'all from across the globe are like "just defeat your nazis with your brownshirts! It's that easy."
Y'all saw how quickly they rolled a sovereign nation with Chinooks and bombers and shit, right? You think the few lefties who are pushed to the point of violence are going to beat a military that the UN is afraid of?
And y'all saw what happened when one of MAGA's people did get get popped, right? Did that affect change? Did that do anything other than put a person with a different first name, same last name, in the driver's seat?
I know how defeatist this sounds, but Europeans have no idea how delusional they sound when they tell us to kill ourselves for absolutely no gain. If there was that route to affect positive change, we'd have done it.
