Not only are you not doing enough, you're self-satisfied about it.

Anyone struggling to survive has even less of an excuse than those who are living comfortably.

The No Kings protests were the largest in US history so that should count for something.

This is the most US liberal nonsense. Protests are not an end in themselves. The No Kings protests accomplished nothing and counted for fuck all- their only effect was to illustrate how little a threat the opposition is.

You are meekly taking it and getting defensive about it.

the midterms will be a very strong repudiation of this regime

I couldn’t write a funnier parody of the Democratic Party than this

It's a shame, but I'm not wasting my energy giving a shit when the Americans themselves are meekly bending over and taking it.

Especially those unwilling to fight back.

I mean… yes.

To be fair, your brain is a pattern-matching system.

When you catch a ball, you’re not doing the physics calculations in your head- you’re making predictions based on an enormous quantity of input. Unless you’re being very deliberate, you’re not thinking before you speak every word- your brain’s predictive processing takes over and you often literally speak before you think.

Fuck LLMs- but I think it’s a bit wild to dismiss the power of a sufficiently advanced pattern-matching system.

Someone just tried to educate you. Which part of what you were just told are you taking issue with?

To Americans, their national heroes are just Disney characters without families, jobs, or dreams who never actually had anything to lose and whose victories were guaranteed.

Then stop giving them cover for their cowardice

Americans are cowards. Period.

The constitutional right to be ARMED TO THE TEETH and they’re all pissing their pants in fear of… losing their jobs? They literally sat there, watched the worst of humanity seize power, and spent their political capital trying to limit their ability to fight back.

They deserve whatever they get.

not with the house in the hands of republicans.

It's almost like you should do something about those Republicans.

Best hope there is enough democracy left in the US to swing it back to the Dems in 2026.

This is the silliest fucking thing I've ever read. Go fight.

The address:

"Nobody's going to stop me."

I mean, that was the shot across the bow, but there was a democratic way forward. When democrats completely folded and then he was reeelected 4 years later after making every wrong decision?

There hasn’t been a nonviolent way out of the US’s far-right problem in 20 years.

American democracy was cooked in 2004 and it’s wild that anyone would pretend otherwise.

He'll stroke out on the toilet while honking out a dirt snake

"Thank you for your attention to this matter!" has some really strong Wesley Willis "Rock over London, rock on Chicago" vibes.

Cool, guess you’ve done all you can. Great work. Sit back, have a coke, watch tv. Be very proud of all you’ve accomplished.

If the weather is nice, and, you know, if they can get all the proper permits for their parade.

Come on, at least call me a keyboard warrior. You guys are going off-script.

Can’t wait for all the Americans who haven’t done a thing to stop him or to fight his voter base to show up and loudly proclaim that they don’t support this.

Will also get a nice shitty side of “well what do you EXPECT me to DO?”
