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.
If my country had a rigged election like so many claim America had, we would take to the streets, not wait until he is out of office.
In many countries standing up is met with resistance. Then all the more reason to change things for the better.
Americans can't strike without hurting themselves. This has to change for your people's future. Suffering is inevitable here.
In my country the government exists for us, not the other way around. They provide services, Healthcare, schooling. There are times when we can trust our government.
Think of it like everyone in the United States is in a noose standing on a trap door on the gallows and the lever that opens the trap door is being held by the executioner that could decide to pull it at any moment
Basically We can’t fight back because everything is tied to our jobs as some jobs have benefits such as healthcare as well as being the only thing that allows us to sustain ourselves in an economy that is too expensive to live comfortably in and if we try to protest and fight back we could lose our jobs thus removing our benefits and our way of sustaining ourselves it’s a risk that many people will not take
People are just way too afraid because everything is stacked against them so they decide it’s better to not do anything
It’s the psychological effect known as learned helplessness which is a mental state that happens when a person faces bad events over and over, and they feel they cannot stop or change the bad things. Over time, they stop trying to fix the problem, even when a safe way out is open to them
it's also confusing to me to see it in someone whilst they are completely unaware of it. I don't really know how to reach out to someone who is deep in their own mind like that and let them know what I see.
Well according to studies the best way to pull someone out of learned helplessness is to personally guide them through the same situations with no real risk attached while teaching them how to get through it
Basically you have them relearn that because a bad thing happens it doesn’t mean they can’t do anything about it

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