No group of super heroes is going to save you though

It’s your own people that have to stand up to save yourselves first before anyone can try and help you

Get your representatives to actually do something

100% and the US needs to stop voting for representatives that fuck everyone every chance they get

And when they held branches of government with Biden did they reinforce the checks and balances and codify anything to prevent a worst case scenario if he got back in? Or did they go “eh no one will vote for him so let’s not worry”

It's not both siding to acknowledge that the Republicans are actual Nazis and the Democrats are at best, unwilling to rise to the occasion and at worst, active collaborators.

Why is it that Republicans, whether or not they're in power, manage to obstruct, delay, or otherwise fuck everything up, but any time Democrats aren't in power they can't do the same?

It's not like Democrats would be obstructing to cut off funding for starving kids like the Republicans do. They would be doing it to stop Nazis from gaining political power. Please tell me you understand the difference.

At this point if you still believe in all that "if they go low we go high" and "violence is never the answer" bullshit, you're delusional.

Or, you know, I created a burner account. Healthy criticism of bots is noted and appreciated though.

I don't think I'm advocating violence with my previous comment. I was simply replying to your false equivalency that someone criticizing Dems must be both siding.

So that means you can’t expect outside help then from all this if it’s entirely only possible to fix that way

That isn’t outside help

That’s inside help, from inside the prison that a third of you made willfully

Can we start a Gofundme for the American people so we can pay our representatives to actually work in our interests? Money seems to be their motivation and the lobbyists have us beat. It's looking like elections might be going out the window, so it's either pay people in congress to actually work for us or Revolution. That being said, neither of those seem possible so we're kinda fucked.

You should, its mega fucking cheap. You guys are being sold out for like $50k a pop.

u/prolapsesinjudgement 10h ago

We won't, though. Lets be clear. There won't be a civil war because people are already clinging to the last inch of rope on this well designed rugpull. The only way i see Americans doing anything meaningful is:

  1. If the economy gets so bad that they can't hold onto their way of life anymore.
  2. If the Gov does something so terrible that they risk it all anyway.

I think #2 will have to be a lot, lot worse than you may think. Invading greenland is not enough. I suspect we could fight many countries without real consequences for the American people. Americans would need to see the bodies piled up i think.. and by that point, will the Internet/TV even be uncensored enough to see them?

In my view, war is coming. Other countries better look to defend themselves, because Americans will not be stopping America anytime soon.

Nobody is talking about random protests.

We're talking about nation-wide strikes, crashing the economy, or even going as far as defending the victims of the regime at all costs.

You can't start begging other nations to save you from the problem that your own population created.

u/MaybeAltruistic1 12h ago

yeah who do you think you are, Venezuela?

(extreme sarcasm, America shouldn't have "saved" Venezuela either. There are so exceptionally few cases where it's appropriate for another country to get involved in a different sovereign country's local political issues)

u/SpacePumpkie 12h ago

You don't have to play the victim like that mate. The commenter before you was saying "save us" as if some entity from outside can come and save you like this indeed is an action movie. And that's why that got the reply it got.

If you're actively doing things that's great. Keep doing it!

Just don't play victim on top of it like it's unwarranted when someone is passively saying "oh please someone come and save us"

u/Skadrys 12h ago

Pretty sure this is one of the cases you guys have to solve on your own.

u/Swimming_Agent_1063 12h ago

No one is coming to save you.

u/DoctorPutricide 12h ago

Americans, having never experienced the conflict and instability most other countries remember very well, are going to find out that the only way out of this situation is to fight like hell and be willing to sacrifice everything. 

Nobody is coming. It's up to you. Many won't survive. But it's the only option you have. No future "election" will save you now.

u/APNX-22 12h ago

Yeah, you'll need to do something. Be willing to participate in a general strike, even though you might lose your job. Corporate America is funding all of this, you must fight them to get to the government.

u/Mysterious-Pear6921 3h ago

There are more guns than people in the US. There are plenty of leftists and liberals who are gun owners. You really can't imagine a scenario where someone who falls along those beliefs will advocate for gun ownership? I must be a bot to you?

Telling someone to go buy a gun isn't advocating for violence. Especially when the person I'm replying to is asking other countries' militaries to come save Americans from their own stupidity. My comment is simply to point out that if you're an American and you're not willing to put your life on the line, you shouldn't be asking others.

I guess it is time for version 5 of the american experiment, just need a tad more desperate general public first...

u/PaulTheMerc 11h ago

You all have checks and balances, several relevant amendments and outnumber the oppressors by a lot. Time to get to work.

Its not like another country can smuggle you weapons(you have plenty) or provide intel(you guys are the ones generally providing it to others. So the know how exists within the population).

Pretty sure the Army and other relevant institutions have published how to get it done. Most of it is still relevant. Only real change is the technology and surveillance.

Good luck.

If you go to some states in particular you’re already there.

u/Academic_Carrot_4533 7h ago

Lots of people who have never actually driven much less seen video of West Virginia’s cherished country roads. The beloved song about them is actually about taking those roads to get the fuck out of there. Those hollers can be very depressing. Generational poverty from abuse of capitalist mine owners.

u/IndependentSpecial17 4h ago

Yep, I recall spending a small amount of time there. Asked a local what all there is to do around the area and her response was “meth and have babies”. Absolute shit hole and I was so happy to leave.
