I’m an American who has been living abroad for 20 years. I’m shocked, as I watch my home country being dismantled by oligarchs who sold US democracy. And I talk to other Americans and they’re just like “Oh, well, both sides, you know?”
Do y’all not realize what you’ve done? The US literally has no allies now, no rule of law, and no democracy. You’re living in an authoritarian dictatorship now, run by clowns.
How are so many Americans just going on with their lives like normal?
It depends on where you are.
Where I live, that number might be more like 1%. At My parents place, it’s more like 95%, based on the number of Trump signs that have continuously stayed in yards since 2016.
There was a party a little ways into rural territory and a lot of us went and the hostess was terrified when we started talking bad about Trump because the window was open and the neighbors were hard Trump people with guns.
