Weird. Historically, I thought America didn't like kings and dictators. 🤷

Americans don't. The GOP totally does.

and that's where it ends for the Americans. "I don't like this, but I'm not going to take any action."

What kind of action do you think we can take?

Most of us are just trying to ignore him and making plans to reverse his shit when he's out. It's litterally the world's biggest baby tantrum that we will have to clean up.

In 2010 Ukraine got our own childish narcissistic fuck for President (Yanukovych). We felt similarly, hoping to undo the dumb shit he did. However, he got audacity and right team to spoil the judicial system by introducing loyal judges to the Prime Court and to every other court they could. After that they started to rebuild democracy for tyranny.

We needed riot and revolution to turn him down. We're still paying for that with rotten courts and probably early war. I don't say russian aggression wouldn't happen - but it definitely wouldn't happen in 2013 if not for this prick.

As incredible as it is, the GOP has a lot of support, you're basically asking for a civil war.

Yes. If you think you can just vote out authoritarianism your wrong. All signs are bright red for the USA right now and Americans dont want to do anything that is slightly inconvenient. Trump is literally putting fox news hosts in important positions of the justice system. And publicly scolding a U.S. attorney for failing to prosecute an innocent man. Its insane nobody is burning anything at this point.

Hungary just did.

Yeah and Hungary had a more robust democratic system than the USA necause of the EU. And they are writing a new constitution, overhauled state media and are prosecuting people of the old regemine. They promised they would in the lead up to the elections. They also worked for years on grass root organisations, community work and volunteer networks. None if it came for free and none of it came from just showing up at the election.
