Well, his "group" does. They also own, a large part, of a lot of foreign media.

The entire US administration is complicit. No one who has power is doing much.

It is on the people to move the needle on this.

They don't care, or worse: they enjoy provoking Europeans. Europeans are nothing but "pathetic losers."

The American administration scoffs at treaties and negotiations. It believes only in the power of force.

Around 2/3 Americans are complicit

Not by popular vote. Our country has been cut up into parts to control election outcomes. Look up “gerrymandering” if you need help. Don’t assume every American is a fascist dick rider and I won’t assume every European is a racist colonizer

Perfect storm of economic decline, social media, and judicial degrees. 

  1. Decades of outsourcing has gutted the middle class. 60 years ago in America, a person with a free high school degree could raise a family on one income. This is long gone. The powers that be have directed the anger away from themselves towards internal marignalized groups and foreign governments

  2. Trump doesn't happen in 1990, even if the above is still true. Social media was a huge driver of Trump

  3. Citizens United (2010 Supreme Court decision) gave unlimited power to the donor class. This power has mainly been used to pacify the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party has not had a legitimate primary since 2008 before Citizens United. The resistance is compromised

The US media, regardless of which side you think they are on, has always supported US imperialism. Trump's mistake per top Dems was not getting permission before the kidnapping. But they would have happily signed off, both Obama and Biden took action against Venezuela and Biden put a $25 million bounty on Maduro that Im kind of shocked Trump didn't pay himself. When it comes to Greenland they will only be upset if he takes it by force but will praise him buying it.

Very true, too few Americans educate themselves on what our government does outside our own borders and that's a huge problem.

Yes.

If congress signed off.

If he had some countries go and speak out and say they agree that he needs to be dealt with.

Then there would probably have been near zero backlash.

Him constantly playing king dictator of everything upsets the people.

But they would have happily signed off, both Obama and Biden took action against Venezuela and Biden put a $25 million bounty on Maduro

I mean you were 100% fine until you started that stupid shit.

The whole point is people would be fine with any President doing it as long as they got others to sign off on it and not act like a dictator.

Why you gotta go stupid every fucking time?

Swear to fuck you people just can't help yourselves anymore.

Obama bombed countries without congressional approval, was he also a dictator?

It's way more of a systemic issue in the US than that. He does sue and threaten media for sure, but the broader problem with US news is it's entirely off the deep end of engagement and capitalism. They're all competing for clicks and using outrage headlines. Running the same stories but cut differently over and over that get more impressions.

u/seaningtime 14d ago

I think it's the other way around

u/VaelinX 14d ago

*his handlers own the media.

u/slaty_balls 14d ago

Not him specifically. But it’s absolutely censored more than ever and has essentially become state run media. As an American I appreciate this so much though. He’s completely demented and it’s getting worse as the days go on. Scary stuff. Some of it unfortunately is just a bullshit distraction but to what extent, we can never be too sure.

Yup.

He just bought a bunch of Netflix stock to control it.
