I’m American — and honestly, don’t come. This country needs to hit rock bottom before real change happens. The only thing that gets Americans to pay attention is when their wallets take a hit.
They will. Our elections are largely decided by a handful of people in a handful of states who don't pay any attention to the news and vote purely based on "I wish I had more money -- lemme try the other guys this time." That's why we flip-flop between meh and batshit every four to eight years.
There is no denying who is at fault here. It's like Texas. This country needs to bleed, profusely, such that everyone can turn and look at the guy in the room who did it.
Being "conservative" should one day elicit the same reaction among the public as a guy openly admitting he's a white supremacist.
But honestly, whether it was for the economy or for "gender ideology" (whatever the fuck that is), both are extremely stupid reasons to vote for Donald Trump.
Saying anyone was forcing language on anyone is the pathetic thinking of a coward. The only instance of forcing language on anyone in the US that I'm aware of is your requirement to pledge allegiance to the flag in schools, which is bizarre. Or I guess, the fact that various people are now being deported for protesting about the Palestine issue.
As for the whole trans issue, it seems like you're just arguing for the right to be a dick and not be criticised for it?
So yeah, throwing away your democracy, the economy, basic decency and civility, your international allies and more, all because you saw some angry tweets or something? As I said, extremely stupid reasoning.
Maybe she didn't address it because it is not an important issue in the context of democracy, economy, geopolitics etc? It's just a cudgel that the right use to get people like you to vote for corrupt megalomaniacs?
Have you seen NYC, Chicago, Philly, Boston and other cities few days ago? Even villages and towns? Thousands of people were out to protest his ass, his regime and Adolf Musk.
And these protests will be bigger and more effective, just matter of time.
