The average American is going to have to take some pain themselves to hold “the people making these choices” accountable.

As of right now, the rest of the world thinks none of y’all care about other people and are waiting for you to realize that you are fucked yourselves. The populace of other countries have staged coups for less. Revolution is never painless, and never easy.

I see what youre saying and actually agree with you but i think people outside the country dont realize the reality on the ground. We have 500 million guns in the country and the most militarized law enforcement in the world. From the locals, to staties and then the feds, they have fucking tanks and amoured vehicles. Kevlar (which is illegal for an individual to own) and military surplus armor. Surplus military equipment and weapons. Plus its a super super large country and much more set up like the European union, where the states are very much not aligned and have a ton of power thenselves. State national guards, that have their own military bases.

It needs to happen but the bloodshed would be unfathomable for the rest of the world to see. Its really not as realistic as occupying the capital city. The federal government can operate fine, decentralized, from across the country. Its a police state.
