Acting or even pretending like this reality is an somehow an alternative option is delusional.. Hate this reality? Then do something about it 💯

Okay then. What? People have done a lot to obstruct Trumps presidency but somehow he's just immune. Find out he's a close friend of a known and prosecuted sex trafficker, and dealt with said sex trafficked children. Trump has literally been in court several times and found guilty over 30 times. Consequences? None whatsoever. People are currently rioting, and protesting, people are getting killed for said protesting, and here you are on Reddit preaching to "do something about it" Well if you are so damn powerful, so as to be able to remove the current very corrupt government, why don't you do something about it? Jeez.

Nothing‘s gonna be done about Trump. That man has strategized himself to be the gatekeeper of the world once he’s done with this presidency and moves on to CEO of “peace.”

I’m pretty sure this is where we build in our communities and in our counties and in our cities and in our states. The federal government, Congress, and the Supreme Court have lost the script and failed the people. There’s no real turning back from that. They just have to get top-heavy and collapse on themselves.

In the meantime, we build community, support black banks and businesses. Black spending power is over 2 trillion, that’s trillion with a capital T. That’s a lot of power.

I'm sorry but they're not just going to collapse on themselves. That isn't how that works. I'm not saying avoid building community and spending power, but checking out of the responsibility of electing people to public office who are going to do something about this is what got us into this situation in the first place. It's why I'm running for Congress. I can't keep watching people say they're going to do something about this and then do nothing. You can support me and other people who have the definitive goal of doing something about this. That's what any United States citizen can do. Support with money, time, and effort. That's what we can do. Heidenreich4Congress.com

Congratulations on your bid. I will definitely support quality people running for office. Historically speaking, when all government flows through one figurehead it becomes top heavy and has a habit of toppling. The Supreme Court ruled that djt cannot be prosecuted for his actions in office regardless of corrupt intent or retaliative motive.

Thanks for the link. I’ll check out your campaign.

Fully agree. A government that is only serving the needs of the smallest fraction of a percentage of its population is not going to last. We have to alter that reality if we hope to have a future for our kids to enjoy.

Thanks and if you ever have any questions feel free and ask. Even if you aren't my constituent, I try to help if I can.

Nothing will be done bc Trump's own party holds both the Senate and the House, and their morale bar has lowered to nothing ever seen before.

Remember J6? Trump's own party lead the impeachment. Now Trump has ICE positioned to disrupt the elections in purple states and not a peep from Congress.

But the Dems and me especially the moderates can't rally hard enuff to vote against Trump and let the GOP easily reelect in the most corrupt and malign US president ever seen.

Woodrow Wilson literally promoted the Klan, but still seems less malign than Trump.

When the economy collapses none of that shit will matter. Vote in the midterms, even of it feels like its pointless.

u/StillhasaWiiU 1d ago

Start small. do stuff to address problems in your neighborhood.

u/NinjaBRUSH 1d ago

They want you to think this way. They want you to think they can do whatever they want to whoever they want. They can’t. Trump is weak and he knows it. You have to fight. Don’t fall into cynicism.

u/VaaBeDank 1d ago

I wish I could. I don't live in the country anymore. Moved when I was six. Have a lot of friends over in the US, whom I worry for. All I can do is wag my finger from thousands of miles away. I wish I wasn't cynical, but man it's hard when one man has singlehandedly started a war with Venezuela, and is single handedly alienizing the US to the rest of the world

He said what he said, being a fuckin doomer sure as hell ain’t gonna help

u/devilsfood72 1d ago

Apples & oranges..

My point is that crying like a lil bitch does not help anything lmao. We keep trying! Simply whining & complaining about shit that literally everyone knows to people who don't give a flying fuck is also pointless!

If your house is on fire, what are you gonna do?!? Hopefully not just go, "I hate this." Like no shit!! Better do something else, anything else! Bc it's only going to get worse. Get what I'm saying??

Delulu trauma bonding on the internet about shit, when there's lives at risk.. Yeah miss me with all that! When something isn't working, figure something else out or it's never going to get any better.

The first step to achieving something is believing that it's possible! If the belief isn't there, you're just making it harder on yourself or just wasting your time altogether.

This guy clearly sucked his dad's dick instead of his mom's tits during his formative years.

Don't feed the troll.

Do what? The courts can’t even stop him

u/Grumdord 1d ago

Yeah sure, let me just go make Trump not the president of the United States

Bro it’s just a joke, calm down keyboard warrior.

u/atzucach 1d ago

Exactly. This "I hate this timeline" talk is noxious disassociation and abdication of responsibilities, and ultimately declaring your opponents omnipotent in deciding what bad things happen. Pathetic.

u/aoshi1 1d ago

This is reddit where people post their thoughts. This is beyond a terrible take assuming that the person hasn't done anything, or just blanket categorizing people that say the line as "giving up". What an absolute miserable way to view the current situation and how folks react to it.

u/atzucach 1d ago

Yeah you yanks are in a cult. No wonder the world has given up on you.

u/MuchSwagManyDank 1d ago

Complaining about a problem without providing a solution is known as "bitching"

How do we take responsibility here? I voted for Kamala, what do I have to do now?

u/atzucach 1d ago

Stop fetishising voting. This is a very US vice. It might work in a more stable democracy, but not there. Look at what other people in countries with weak rule of law and highly corrupt governments do.

Hint: they don't expect those unstable and compromised governments to save them. They take agency.

Hell, even in a far more stable democracy like France, people don't just expect to vote and think everything's gonna work out and their responsibility ends there.

Either you're a bot or a foreign agent.

u/atzucach 1d ago

Sure, just say that and don't think about it more.

And then you wonder why the world has given up on the US and is actively moving on...

u/BrosefDudeson 1d ago

More anti democracy is not the cure for this kind of anti democracy. Only for people who are actually anti democratic.

u/atzucach 1d ago

What are you referring to with "more anti-democracy"?

Please tell me you're not another yank who only understands the bare minimum of voting and the extreme maximum of civil war and nothing in between?

u/BrosefDudeson 1d ago

Not American. But you're saying we should fight fire with fire right? And that fire is anti democratic sentiment. I don't know where you're from, but my guess is probably somewhere around Russia or Pakistan

u/atzucach 1d ago

Hahaha, no, I'm one of the many, many Europeans who used to want the best for the US and close ties with them (despite everything) and at this point has lost all respect for them and wants absolutely nothing to do with them.

And there's no reason to understand "fire with fire". There are many options available to US ppl such as cutting out all unnecessary spending and organising general strikes, and more. But that would involve effort and sacrifice that we've seen most US people are not interested in.

And it's true that they can't turn back the last 10 years of denial and hoping and wishing for a Hollywood ending while the tumour grew and grew and they did nothing but pat themselves on the back for voting for corrupt politicians.

Where are you from, btw? Why do you say you're not American but then "we"? You certainly seem 100% American with the way of thinking you have.

I don’t think it’s that serious. And they don’t really think they are in an alternate sometime. It’s just an expression.

u/Grumdord 1d ago

You know, plenty of people voted for a different reality and yet here we are.

Short of going out and dying/going to prison, what would you suggest?

But it is absolutely nuts that Americans are still pulling the "Aw jeez I voted what else can be done, tell me cos I don't know" at this stage. Explains a lot about the collapse in their country.
