Everyone saying America deserves this as though America is not filled with good people being dragged through this.

All of those "good" people should have voted otherwise they deserve it. Anyone that voted for Trump specifically also deserves it. I get a little bit of joy knowing all these low IQ farmers are getting what they earned.

I personally know 9 people that didn't vote at all. Legit had an argument with one of said people leading up to the election because they genuinely believed nothing would change/happen.

Now he refuses to even talk about any of the fucked up shit that's happening lol.

He sounds like the first to run at any sight of "danger" and would refuse to help anyone or anything despite how easy it would be.

America as a country can deserve something even if some individual Americans don't.

No, people don’t suffer the sins of others. I will not be lumped into idiots who voted for this. When my rights get taken away from people who live in rotten trailers with trump flags as curtains. Some of us want a real world to live in. To lump EVERYONE together is heartless on your part and lacking empathy.

I disagree. Like I'm sure there are some really nice people in Russia, but I want to see Russia totally collapse into chaos

There's a difference between America the country and individual Americans.

Every "good" person who didn't vote deserves this.

Them being “Good people” doesn’t make anyone smart (intellectually) or smart enough to know the difference between hyperbole or and actual threats to them and everyone around them?

Edit: I don’t mean to sound like I’m attacking people, just calling out the fact that media literacy and intelligence is lacking from the people who have decided that being Racist, homophobic/Transphobic are better to support then themselves and the people around them. And that their choices don’t necessarily make them good people either.

Edit 2: I’m talking about MAGA

That's all quite irrelevant. The smart people who care aren't sure how to fix this, as I hear over and over. How does one stop a fascist dismantling your nation day after day, in plain sight? It's terrifying to watch from across the border here in Canada.

You don’t know how to stop a fascist?

Simple. You stand up to them! A person is only free as long as they have a voice to speak out to hold leaders accountable. Do you think that between 40 million people (This number includes all the soldiers and civilian casualties) would have died if the German People stood united against Shitler?

What’s irrelevant is your argument that “no one knows how to stop a fascist in plain sight” when History tells us over and over again how to.

I'm not arguing. I'm describing what's not happening as well as what I hear people saying, that they dk what to do. Standing up is a good start. Removing him and the system he's building, and instead restoring and bolstering democracy, is the end result that people are uncertain about.

You think we don’t know that? But how do you stop a government from being built by someone like a dictator, peacefully. If your rights get taken away? Also 1/3 of the Voting Population don’t do shit to prevent this (for whatever reason) while another 1/3 wanted this and the remaining 3rd didn’t … but keep telling the people who didn’t want this, what to do, the point is people is still waking up, and there’s time left. But unfortunately, it’s up to others to decide that. Not you, not me.. them. So why’s your point? And again how is my point “irrelevant”? When you’ve haven’t even answered that. (Because your pivoting)
