The US are a joke. When it was about overthrowing a Democrat government with the benediction of Trump, a few thousand people almost succeeded. Now for a fascist government people are spineless.

Your president breaks laws every day without any check and balances. He betrays every alliance concluded with foreign countries when he's not being openly hostile towards them.

You had the Epstein files that in a normal democracy would have been enough to impeach your president. It never happened.

The orange turd will get away with it and all of his billionaires friends and family members too. Unless a real popular and democratic uprising happens justice will never be served.

Surprised no American's have spoken out yet about how difficult it is for them to protest because they've allowed themselves to get screwed over by both parties for decades. They can't seem to put it together that people in Europe are starting a revolution for much less with similar consequences for protesting. Revolution is not without consequences.
Before anyone jumps, I don't condone any of the looting or destruction happening in Europe.

Bruh, you have freedom of speech, right to protest, still have some semblance of rule of law. Never mind the 2nd amendment, the graceful amendment Americans won't stop raving about. In what reality are you screwed? I beg Americans to stop acting so helpless.
