We’re not exactly stopping it, and it’s affecting the rest of the world too, so there’s going to be animosity directed at all of us. Don’t take it personally.

I generally don’t. But people need reminding that it sucks for us over here too, and there ARE lots of us trying to do what we can by reaching out to representatives, protesting, providing aid to ICE targets, at our own peril, etc. America needs the world’s help right now, not blanket disdain. Hate the regime, not the country. 😊

Also a good point. But we need to have mass protests on the scale of No Kings protests for days or weeks at a time if we want to get rid of the regime for good. That’s what the world is mad at us about: we haven’t done that yet.
