      USA is a special kind of stupid, but a majority still oppose war with Iran and… you know… raping children, so Hegseth isn’t too popular on the home front either.

        Yeah, I see, that’s why that majority stopped a pedophile president from having the control of the country, or stopped his clique of rarely sober religious nationalists from starting said war.

          lmao you’re living in a fantasy if you think Americans have the capability to stop the government through instant, direct action

          The only power we have is withholding our labor, and convincing people of the necessity of that when they’re brainwashed by capitalism is not an overnight or even over-4-years affair

            Hadn’t said you need to necessarily do it instantly and directly, you invented it yourself just so you have something to be snippy about. Deliberate work over time is also good.
            Doesn’t matter though, you’re not doing either. Or you’re so ineffective it’s indistinguishable from not doing anything.

              You know a lot about me for someone who does not know me lmao

              But that’s consistent with the fact that you live in a fantasy.

        It’s doesn’t worth much since the majority just keep his ass tight seat waiting for a “miracle” or a “magic savior” for their situation.

        Sounds to me like both of you are correct: most Americans don’t like him but there are still millions of them who cheer him and his kind of populist actions and words.

        We gotta take our licks on this one. Look what we elected. It’s like a “not all men” thing. Sure it’s not actually all of us, but it’s enough of us to be a problem.

          I’m sorry, I don’t agree with you. I’m from California and we are sitting over here just as aghast as any European nation you could name and larger than some.

          We sent 54 electoral votes for Harris to Washington. You want to show me a European nation that did more than that to stop Trump?

          I understand Americans as a whole have a responsibility. But this guy was trying to make a specific play-by-play call about how Americans are reacting to this back home and I see no logic in sitting quietly and agreeing with that.
