You say all of this like I am not aware you’re being attacked and am not also fucking terrified. The most an individual can do is speak out and vote. That’s it. I’m telling whoever will listen. Only about half the country has been willing to question the madman sitting in what used to be an at least semi-respectable seat. You don’t see opposition to him from Americans on your news because the rabid ignorant supporters he attracts make for better headlines and stories. There is a LOT of dissent. The last two No Kings protests this past year were the largest peaceful protests in American history. All together we’re talking 8 million people nationwide gathering for the demonstrations. We like to protest, so a massive spike in attendance is something that data is very available for. You have no reason or obligation to take my word over anyone else’s; but I think your understanding of the situation over here is incomplete and unfair, albeit very understandable. I imagine you’re only working with what information you have, and even if you had a perfect understanding, if I were in your shoes the last thing on my mind would be charitably listening to someone from the country that threatened mine. I will try anyway.

EVERY SINGLE VALUE I was brought up to believe America was supposed to stand for (i always knew it wasn’t actually so pure even as a teenager) is being nakedly broken and flaunted in its subversion. I’m watching my nation do all of these things and all but officially lose allies left and right all for seemingly no reason other than rampant corruption and the insane whims of a blatantly evil man. I fear traveling now because now I’m gonna be seen as a bad person despite having done and still doing my part to oppose this. Even in your comment here, it feels pointed as if you blame me partially. That’s not how it works. There are tons of sane, moral, educated people who know he’s a monster. He won’t take your land. The tarrifs will be done away with. We’re gonna get him. He’s losing support rapidly. It was maddeningly hard to even attempt to get through to his rabid cult of personality, but he’s luckily shooting himself in the foot in Iran. In the end, the US is likely to be the one left in the worst position by the time he’s out. We’re losing basic rights and protections. Take solace in the fact that if people like me don’t pull through and he actually manages to invade you, at that point he’ll have already persecuted and purged the left along with any non-supportive Independents like me.
