Looking at the stats, why arnt armed americans (statistically >100%) going after corrupt officials. "they" close billionaire loopholes, who is they? the people paid by billionaires? or the armed masses, the ones ammendements accounted for.
As an Australian watching on - instead of revolution it seems Americans are good at making memes and writing words for fake internet points. Just completely lacking in meaningful action
This is what happens when a population is sold a lie about how their world works, kept fed and entertained, and brainwashed into thinking the people who are being oppressed/ struggling chose that life.
Don't rock the boat. Life elsewhere is probably way worse. Someone will do something about it soon. Human nature is inherently good. The next leader will fix everything. Etc.
This point is getting a bit tired. It is not at the point where revolution happens yet. Depedning on the coming midterms they might get a lot closer if there's obvious cheating going on. It takes a lot for a revolution to happen, it doesn't just start as soon as there is frustrations towards a tyrant
As an American, that’s what you see on Imgur. Go somewhere else to see us actually doing our best. Don’t forget your country is being sold out by politicians too.
The real weapon they have against us is that all of the people are living on the edge, barely able to afford life, and so far they’ve been trained to feel it is their own fault that they aren’t comfortable
A good proportion aren't "on the edge," but are instead clinging to their comfort and indulgence through a heinous mixture of denial and entitlement, and would blithely watch the rest of the world burn rather than give up an ounce of analgesic luxury.
I’m getting real sick of other countries fanning these flames when it’s EXACTLY what would help Trump end democracy.
We don’t need a revolution to overthrow the government, we need an election. Stop calling us stupid for electing him but cowardly for honoring that election.
Keyboard warriors talk big - US police and militaries are huge. We’d just get jailed and executed before we even got started. As we should, because it’d be treason. (1/2)
It also demeans the horror of January 6th. That’s blatantly unacceptable across the board.
The American people participate in their democracy with free speech and voting. This is the first federal election cycle since 2024.
We left 1,000s of years of revolutions to form our democracy and y’all are undermining it so for the love of god just stop before you encourage a mutiny that does justify canceling elections and cements the downfall of American democracy.

Hell, just removing the names of Confederates from shit in the South like they slap Trump's name on everything would be a start.

It was the start, then they took Biden off the ballot.

If Americans really wanted progress, we'd have it already. What we really want is to tell ourselves we're better than everyone else.

I predict another decade or two of bs before enough Americans have nothing left to lose

Nah. We're a nation of apathetic cowards. There is no line that can be crossed that will galvanize enough people to make a difference.
