It's so wild that Americans are just letting this all happen. I'm surprised we don't have more blatant suicide bombers yet. We have the ones they play out as mentally ill but they haven't been labeled as insurgents yet

TBH most people are clueless, or at least “distracted” by more mainstream feeds and news. The panic you see online isn’t really representative of the average citizen here, but neither are MAGA diehards on Twitter.

Same with a lot of Republicans, specifically. I know some who don’t ‘like’ Trump and the more visible antics, but really hate Democrats, and everything is just kinda ho hum. They think I’m nuts when I start pointing out some of the more drastic signs.

Others do, unfortunately, watch a lot of Fox and would say he’s doing thinks ‘for the good of the country’ albeit very reluctantly.

In other words, I’m not surprised.
