Your country has becom such a joke. We both know there will be no accountability for anyone. Rising up tak a courage and that is non existent in America except in movies.

There is courage. MINNESOTA showed it during Operation Metro Surge. There will be accountability, I have faith.

Same. There are people putting in the work every day.

I'm pretty sure this type of sentiment is primarily from bots. Actual people have a bit more nuanced opinions than this.

Said work achieves little and is invisible compared to protests against even less severe circumstances anywhere else. Even the no kings protests are a joke of one because it's no threat to the regime because they literally just need to wait till the evening for protestors to go home.

Your long term protests lack scale and the large ones lack longetivity

Fucking hilarious you think this is bot sentiment. It is the broad sentiment of the Western world. We have no faith in you because we have been given no reason to have faith in you. I sincerely wish you well in proving us wrong, I just don't believe you will.

Have faith in us says a person whose country voted in an orangutan as their leader not once, but twice. And talk about him like it's a completely normal thing that he's running for a 3rd term, completely oblivious to how defeatist that already is in itself.

The US is such a shit show. I'd laugh if it wasn't also affecting the rest of the world.
