Then seriously, leave. Leave the US.

That, or protest, rebel, fight back hard. Do whatever is needed to stop this madness.

I'm ao very sorry for you that you're an American and that you have to deal with this shit but please understand: The rest of the world didn't cause any of this. This, the past 5 decades and especially trump, is ALL on Americans and their attitudes. I'm sorry, but your country always has been a shit show that caused untold suffering and death world wide. Ask Iran, Chile, Nicaragua, and many other countries what they think of the US and Americans

And now the world has to deal with Cheeto. Apparently less than 50% of Americans voted, meaning that only about 25+%-ish voted trump. That makes 50% of Americans complicit in all this by not voting. Why the fuck didn't you vote?? You caused this.

The entire fucking world is upside down in chaos now. China will be emboldened to invade Taiwan, Russia is emboldened to invade the entire eastern Europe, Israel is emboldened to exterminate Palestinians in a genocide not seen since the one in WWII, you know, where Jews were purged... , Canadians, greenlandians, Panamanians, we're all scared shitless about an actual fucking invasion (which always comes with the fun of countless innocent deaths, hunger, suffering and traumas) because of this emperor Elmo and Cheeto shit.

So I'm sorry that lumping you in with conservatives makes you feel bad, but I got bigger problems to deal with. I need all Americans to get their shit together and stop this nonsense one way or the other, I don't want WWIII.
