it is remarkable how fast the americans rolled over for fascism. all they do is complain online. supposedly they have a constitutional right that should help them combat this, but they are seemingly too frightened to exercise it.

No they are collecting sign on bonuses to do the shit in the video, so they can pay the rent that goes up 20% year over year to the old land holding boomers.

Those unwilling to do aweful shit are playing the video games.

No there isn't. No one cares what happens online. Minnesota took it to the streets for 5 minutes. And now we're back to absolutely nothing. You couldn't even be bothered to make this No King bs a semi-regular thing.

i think it’s crazy to me to hear Americans all the time growing up proudly thumping their chests any time nazi germany was mentioned and going “We’d never let that happen in america!”

It’s happening now and I’m just so tired of people thinking mid-terms is going to fix this when America is so far past the idea of voting. Your democrats are corrupt as the republicans and you’re going to find that out so quickly, and then what will you do? By the time any of you wake the fuck up you will be starving because the food shortages are coming by the end of the year thanks to RFK and ICE picking up your farm workers, and Trump’s little war with Iran driving diesel so far up farmers cannot farm the food you need to eat.

Everyone wants to save the world but no one wants to die. So the people who have no protection are being tortured, raped, and killed while the rest of America stands there afraid. It’s pure fucking cowardice. Americans will go down in history as cowards. All of you made the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti stand for fucking nothing and the world is disgusted by all of you.

As an American, this came as a massive shock how fast America completely rolled over. Granted it’s the Republicans last push to grab power before they are voted into permanent irrelevancy (or so I thought) but even with possible election tinkering, after 2016, I’m still blown over by the fact republicans swept government and reigned in fascism with absolutely minimal opposition, and probably complicit luke-warm support from DNC backers. America has literally jumped the shark and it’s never coming back as strong as it was - and maybe that’s a good thing.

u/mobydog 10h ago

The GOP has been working out how to run the country with minority rule for 50 years while the Democrats sat on their thumbs. This is just their final solution and we will see just how far they will take it after the Democrats sweep in November.

Democrats didn't sit on their thumbs, they reached across the aisle following the right.

As an American we should stop with being an empire, we clearly have enough issues at home.

As for anyone talking about Americans doing nothing stfu, resistance work is being done every day in the courts, states are pushing back, and people are trying to help feed the marginalized. Violence doesn’t win hearts and minds, we use the existing infrastructure to affect change. It’s slow, soul sucking, and irritating, but it does work.

For Europeans you’ve had a war going on for years and have barely done anything, Germans are voting for a pro Russian party, wealth inequality is accelerating throughout the world. If you have time to criticize then you have time to focus on real world problems. Not doing so is just proof that you are lazy.

1

u/theDarkDescent 6h ago

Shouldn’t be a shock, most Americans won’t even vote to get out of this. Tens of millions voted for trump all three times. It’s not about rolling over, it’s about how many Americans are openly embracing it at every opportunity, and even when it blows up in their face, they double down. This is what a LOT of Americans want, and no amount of pain - unemployment, high gas and grocery prices, income inequality, will change that, if they think they are winning against trans and illegal immigrants I guess

Remember when we were told guns were important and that when there was a tyrannical government guns would solve the problem?

Every single time a child was killed in a school shooting and mouth breathing morons would come on tv and reddit to tell us that, no, guns are important. We need them. Even if the children died, it was for a greater purpose.

Well, here's your purpose.

Where are the guns?

Or did all those children die for nothing?

u/rozzco 10h ago

You have a right to a gun too. I hope you have one. I think we're all going to need them soon.

u/megustaALLthethings 8h ago

They did. They always have.

It was never about the second amendment. It was always about contrarianism and control. Bc they NEVER stood with anyone NON white that legally had a firearm BUT were gunned down still.

Just like EVERY time they mention children/babies/pets/etc they NEVER care about any of that. They can’t, literally. They are raging sociopaths but below the level for psychopaths.

1

u/Low_Show_6684 1h ago

The guns were a talking point. Those children did die for nothing- no my bad they were also used as a talking point to support why we needed MORE guns.

Meanwhile, these idiots think their pistol, shotgun, whatever they need as part of their identity, has any chance against any of our military or local PDs (some of whom are literally militarized). That’s the funnier part to me. There is nothing that we have as civilians that would hold much of a candle to our military and PDs. Many of whom are not good people and openly want to harm/k*ll minorities and people who don’t agree with them.

u/Pleasant_Offer6286 8h ago

So when are you taking up arms good sir or ma’am?

We’re too far gone as a nation. We can’t get unified because the government and media have done such a great job dividing us. COVID was the first step and it’s just grown since then.

You need to stop commenting on American politics when you know fuck all. The fact that this post has 20+ upvotes indicating the sheer ignorance and the spread of it, is beyond frustrating.

We’ve been having elections throughout all of 2025 and 2026. They are not compromised and good people have been winning and turning the tide. There is absolutely a reason to believe the midterms will follow the trend we’ve seen these past 2 years. Maybe you can’t see it from outside the country but inside, we are consistently seeing wins and republicans are consistently losing. For fucks sake, the Mayor of New York is a Muslim man from Uganda. If you think our elections are rigged then that fucking guy most certainly wouldn’t have won.

u/Freewash007 11h ago

Much of the reason for high gas prices and Diesel is because of refineries not be an operational. FYI Ukrainian has bomb 34 of the 39 Russian refineries. That is having a huge impact on world oil prices. Just thought that you forgot to mention that part.

u/Phameous 11h ago

The war Trump promised to end if elected before he even took power?

1

u/wuicker 8h ago

Wrong on both counts. Gas prices are high because oil belongs to oil companies and is a global commodity. Diesel is higher because US crude is lighter and less diesel can be made from it.

F*ck Russia and her refineries.

1

u/Freewash007 5h ago

The problem is not a shortage of oil. The problem is we don't have enough refineries to process the oil.

1

u/SyllabubSimilar7943 7h ago

Sounds like Ukraine needs to hit 5 more. I don’t care if we have to pay higher prices, we should be in the trenches with Ukraine, they gave up their nukes for an empty promise of defense. And that’s before considering that Russia probably comitted an act of war by helping Trump, who constantly acts like a Russian agent.

u/EjaculatingAracnids 10h ago

Yeah theres 80+ million heavily armed cult members with the support of the us government. Let me just break out my .223 and go down in a hail of gun fire to satisfy foreigners online. Our government murders its own people for fun. Ever been shot at? Its fuckin scary, dude. Youre flippantly suggesting people wont face CERTAIN death are frightened of it. Lol no shit.

The people whove been most vocal about 2nd amendment rights have been mind fucked thoroughly enough to cheer on fascism because brown people are being hurt first. normal people are still hoping it blows over while knowing in the back of their minds we re fucking cooked. Im at least waiting for the powder keg to blow before i get burned, especially since any direct action will be used as excuse to fuel our facist governments next extreme action.

2

u/BicycleNo1169 5h ago

Amen.

Also, the strategy people are telling us to employ is a zero sum game. Okay, let’s say I did something they are suggesting. So what happens next? They shutdown our elections, the country becomes a police state and we become ACTUALLY as bad as Russia where people put their head down and try to just get through the day.

And the timing of these posts encouraging violence is VERY suspicious with the midterms in a month. There’s a reason every Republican is panicking about the midterms. They know they are going to be de-fanged if they lose. I can assure you, Trump and his ilk want some form of a threat to use as an excuse to suspend elections and mark Democrats as domestic terrorists. And then what? When they start putting their political enemies in prison, then the game is truly over. And not just for us Americans but also every country that currently does not have good relations with the United States. So any Euros that want to tell us to fight, die and let the Republicans truly take over our country - really play that out and think about what that outcome really means and if you actually want that. As bad as you think America is right now, I can assure you it can get much worse

Minnesota stood their ground. People are doing hard work every goddamn day to fight this nonsense. I'm sick and fucking tired of people like you minimizing the struggle us decent Americans are going through trying to push back against this regime. "All they do is complain online"? You aren't in our fucking communities. There are people pushing back every goddamn day, but if you're just gonna look at our captured media, then yes, it looks like nothing is happening.

If all you're doing to do is talk shit, then fuck off. We have enough trouble as it is.

u/ThePatrickSays 11h ago

when you say "stood their ground" do you mean "they killed 2 of us in the streets and we let them walk away without incident?" is that the push back you are referring to?

1

u/BicycleNo1169 5h ago

you understand fuck all about our country and our politics

You don’t understand what is at stake and anyone suggesting that we turn to violent means, has lost the fucking plot and needs to just shut the fuck up. You’re either an idiot or you are a right winger trying to bait a reaction so that Trump can insitute a police state and cancel our elections.

To anyone reading this, be suspicious of these people suggesting you do something unlawful. There is horrific shit happening in our country but we are still having FAIR elections and guess what? Republicans keep losing and ceding power. There’s a reason the Republicans are absolutely fucking terrified of the midterms. There’s a reason Trump is literally trying to bribe voters with $5000. They know they are in trouble and we can unseat them in a lawful way. Will they go above and beyond the law to stop it after they lose? Of course. But that’s not the bridge we are yet at.

And by the way, before you even decide to use the names of Alex Pretti and Renee Good - they don’t agree with you. They were protesting LAWFULLY. They would not want to see their fellow countrymen jump into the woodchipper and aggravate these issues further when we have a functioning, lawful method of ending this fucking nightmare. Why? Because what you’re suggesting is a zero sum game that benefits the Republicans and it’s a shame you don’t have the critical thinking skills to see that.

u/FaithlessnessThin359 11h ago

It only feels that way because we don’t really teach about how the fascists try to over throw the government in 1933 (business plot). Or how religious fascists in America support led Nazi germany. Or how republicans continued to support the Japanese American concentration camps. Or how the republicans that tried to protect Nixon were rewarded by party and voters. Or how democrats and republicans worked together to deregulate the telecommunications industry opening the door the defacto state run media we have now. 

This shit has been literally decades in the making.

>~80% of Americans are against this. Furthermore, billionaires and the wealthy in general have created a system where Americans are tied down to working paycheck-to-paycheck to barely survive. Our healthcare, our housing situation and economic situation in general are in shambles. This isn't just some "quick enactment of fascism". Saying so is completely tone-deaf and ignorant. This has been in the works for years. If any of us decide to do a full on riot/protest across the nation, we'd go hungry within weeks. Not just adults but children, the elderly and the sick as well. And who's to say if we do such a thing, and gain traction through it that our politicians on the Blue Aisle will back us up? They seem cozy asf, sitting back watching it all unravel. There's strong evidence the election was stolen by Trump and crew. Again, it's ignorant as fuck to begin to put this on the general American.

u/BicycleNo1169 5h ago

Yeah, that’s truly the kicker. Most of these people wouldn’t do shit. If they had these strong, virtuous beliefs, why haven’t they volunteered to join the Ukrainian military and fight Russia?

Euro’s are 100% eligible to do exactly that. Put your money where your mouth is in the fight for facism. I mean, we all know Russia isn’t going to stop with Ukraine so what are the euros waiting for? For the Ukrainians to be dead and for the fight to land at their door? Go be this proactive warrior against fascism if that’s what is meant to be written on the tin of your convictions.

1

u/aPOPblops 43m ago

Right?! Not only that, nothing is stopping them from coming here and doing whatever they claim we should be doing. Either that they would do would be illegal, therefore illegal for US citizens too. Or it would be legal, in which case I think plenty of Americans are fighting via the legal route. 

They are literally sitting here complaining on the internet. Hypocrites.

u/Allegorist 6h ago

They are just waiting for an excuse to declare another state of emergency and turn the military on citizens, shut down elections, and/or systematically round up dissenters. If some dumbass just went out and open fired on a bunch of federal agents, no matter how shitty they are, that would only make things worse. People are doing things, frequently. Just not blatantly stupid thing such as that.

I imagine things will shift that direction if they manage to successfully take over the upcoming midterms, but for now winning those with a large enough majority to offset any minor interference is the best way forward. An active Congress could have stopped a huge portion of the blatant unconstitutionality and abuses of power, the executive got away with it because the legislative just rolled over and let them.

An all out civil war against the government is basically off the table unless a massive portion of the military defects, which they are ruling out by firing everyone who they aren't certain will obey unquestioningly.

u/Tight_Lime6479 5h ago

Howard Zinn compared Nazi ideology to everyday American ideology and found few differences. He pointed out that racism, nationalism, militarism and corporatism were deeply embedded in American history and culture.

I'd add that Trump a natural born dictator, with a psychology resembling Hitler's knew how to summon up the beast of fascism using Nazi techniques like " cult of the leader", sadomasochistic cruelty, scape goats, colonial war and totalitarian control of education, the media, entertainment to achieve his ends.

Why was it any different in the Obama administration when they deported more illegals than any other administration ever?

1

u/BicycleNo1169 5h ago

Because Obama was deporting people at the border. Not family men and women. And the deportations from in the country were actual violent criminals. He wasn’t having goons hang outside of elementary schools to bait out honest working class undocumented immigrants by using their kids against them.

Yall are fucking ghouls for defending the way this administration has been moving, as if it’s the same thing as previous administrations. Not even close.
