I’m sorry you feel powerless to affect your country, but there is no one else to. Abdicating that responsibility neither removes the consequences, nor exculpates you.
In a rioting mob, even the people not setting fire to things are in part responsible for the riots.
In your survival, head-in-the-sand, mode you are normalising the situation, you are providing legitimacy, you are enforcing the current order.
The other side can say “look, this dude’s not protesting, they have a great life under Great Leader”, they can ignore you and put those resources to oppress others instead (women, trans, homosexuals, foreigners, allies), they can march right past your house to take the capital.
Your inaction is also a choice, a choice that emboldens and enables the fascists.
If you don’t act, who should? If you don’t act now, will there be another time?
I’m not sure how you got all that from my comment but again, way off.
There are in fact people in the U.S. that don’t support trump or what he’s doing. Believe it or not. And I’m really not sure how you got the impression that I choose to bury my head in the sand or whatever.
Who is?
well for starters;
the people who actually voted for him
the foreign financiers
special interest groups
the billionaire class donors
foreign influence campaigns,
elected officials who enabled voter suppression and disenfranchisement
the heritage foundation
and,(in my opinion), vote manipulation.
I stand by my statement, “we” are not trump. There is a maniac with unlimited funding consolidating power. And it’s only been a little over one month. some people voted for him because they didn’t think he would.
But not me.
You can’t blame the actions of this administration on me. My inbox is full of rants like this but you have the wrong person. I’m sure that person you want to blame is on here somewhere but it isn’t me.
Who is?
Who made Trump happen?
