The fact that Americans seem to be unable or unwilling to properly protest is fucking disappointing!

To be fair we are now being threatened with transportation to El Salvador of all places... Go figure the colonialism fetish would quietly bring that back. But disappointed, one always wanted to see the Australian zoo...

Yeah, so, when there was talk about deporting German citizens by the far-right in Germany over a million Germans took to the streets for weeks.

Just saying, what’s he going to do, deport five million American citizens? You’re only vulnerable when you don’t stand together. But right now there are like 100,000 people who actually go out and protest and still 350,000,000 who aren’t. And that’s gotta change. Pronto.

Trying to get anyone out is a huge task, many are scared but even more are just going along. I live in a maga enclave, anyone who tries to speak out of pretty quickly

I think we're all still in shock every day over crazy shit happening all the time too. It's disorienting.

That's true, it's also like momentum... The emotions, hatred, etc just is more this time around. I like to think it's the peak of a wave that will ebb. But it's just so many to fight through after years and years of fighting already. I can see why people are disoriented, getting everything you've believed about your people and country is a hard pill to swallow. The never ending barrage of what the fuck, the insane spread of people buying into the cruelty. And we are only a few months into it... Pace yourself. I can barely muster a damned group for a bipartisan animal welfare project...
