More than half of America's against him too

Sorry, but no. Unless you mean to include Canada and Mexico, you don’t get to claim this. Not after the election result last November. A plurality actively voted for Trump, but a majority was cool enough with what is now happening to not vote against it. Nobody from the outside is shocked by what’s happening. We tried to warn you (not you personally, but you, Americans). We did warn you. And only a third of those who were eligible to vote (not even a third) voted against it. I do sympathise with those of you who voted against this, who tried to avert this, but you saying that more than half of America’s against him too is simply not true.

And if it was, I’d have to ask: where are your mass protests? How is your country not standing still right now? How come the Nazis in 1930s Germany faced bigger public opposition than Trump and his minions do right now?

I swear the only thing that’s more disappointing than Trump’s return to the White House is the less than lukewarm reaction by the American public.

Please, forgive me if I voice strong doubts right now. The American oppositional response to Trump is an immense disappointment!

Bread and circuses, baby. Cheap hot dogs and Love Island. This isn't a new phenomenon.

Except hot dogs in your stadiums are also fucking expensive. It’s a damn hot dog, there’s no way I’m paying twice as much for one as I pay for a much bigger and tastier Bratwurst in German stadiums.

HAHA, I know! I was trying to think of an example. I should have thought harder. :)
