So that means another important threshold is coming.
Trump and Musk, being the psychopathic pieces of shit they are, are going to want to treat their growing unpopularity and ever-stronger opposition as some sort of conspiracy rather than an honest expression of popular opinion, and they're going to try to clamp down on it - to start arresting and silencing people for the "crime" of opposing them.
And the question is going to be, will Americans again just roll over and take it as a couple of psychopathic dickweeds with daddy issues systematically destroy everything the US has ever stood for?
Even a year ago I would've said no, but now...
I don't understand why people think Americans are just taking it.
Do you know how many times people protest, how many times people are beat for it? Cop city in the south, Portland, literally most colleges.
People are doing shit and it does matter. Part of the problem is acting like nobody is and making their work seem worthless
The biggest reason some people don't notice or don't think anything is happening is the fact that mainstream networks and algorithms aren't showing people what's going on.
its exactly it, or the adjacent media, aka social media is downplaying it, or just treating it as a normal protest
I can't speak for anyone else, but I say that Americans are just taking it because while a few thousand people here and there are protesting the wanton destruction of everything of value in their country by a handful of fucking psychopaths, the other 340-some million are just letting it happen.
It's not. if you step back there are consistent protests for BLM, March against the alt right, white supremacist shit gets chased out of Philly and Boston all the time.
It's not cool over it, people are getting pissed. It's just media doesn't benefit telling us.
Push the people to civil unrest. Slap on some martial law. Profit.
