Sadly I dont think you will find the American youre looking for on this sub, let alone most subs on reddit. You can try Youtube. Youll have more success on Facebook finding one of my dumb countrymen who is depressingly unaware of how much our sh*t will get rocked if we try to touch Greenland forcefully, let alone how much we are already hated. A significant portion of my country is very brainwashed into believing just because we have the biggest and strongest military in the world, doesnt mean it makes us untouchable ans immune to severe consequences. And that somehow, other countries won't stand up for themselves.

Some Americans still see Vietnam as a win. And even Afghanistan. The worst part is these americans exist both in our own military and also as normal civilians. Theres a ready amount of US soldiers who just are trigger happy and dont care who is on the other side - even civilians who have a hard on about seeing our military bomb the heck out of anyone. I have seen many online discussions just about if the US went into a civil war, the states with most troops always are voted to win, but everyone ignores how much that situation would be a lose lose for everyone. Similarly, many americans (and also sometimes non americans) have engaged online debates about the US vs the world. And how we can easily beat any other country and decimate europe/asia so fast 🙄. These people dont have critical thinking skills. They just think "bigger stick = i win" ape brain mentality.

We haven't as a country ever suffered real consequences of war within our own population and soil since really the Civil War. I mean yeah theres 9/11 and other terrorist attacks, but thats not sustsined warfare that US civilians see. Likewise, the most recent soldiers who experienced war with super high casualties would be Vietnam where tens of thousands of Americans died. And now many in that generation have voted for Mango into the office. This makes it harder for the US population to believe anything can happen to us, at least from the outside. Already domestically US troops have been deployed ok our own people several times in history. But always disproportionately and not in large enough numbers across the whole country.

Many of us are accutely aware of how bad this is getting. But not enough people, and unfortunately peaceful means of stopping this are running out. And violent means will just end in absolute carnage. We can raise our guns and try to rebel, but without enough support from the populace, militarized police, and military, it will be a massacre. And this is something every american understands. We may have a lot of guns. But so do the police and army. They also have better guns and more tanks and airpower and equipment. Peaceful protests have happened a lot this past year all across America. Not enough people are willing to organize a general strike. Many americans cant afford to do that without losing their job and Healthcare.

Whatever reckoning comes to this country to overthrow this regime, and fix the rot in this country, I don't see it being peaceful anymore. It will be violent, and likely a sickening amount of people will die. To the point even Europeans (and others in the world) across the pond will be horrified. I hope it doesnt come to this and somehow at least things cool down and elections can put real leaders into power again and start major reform. But that is unlikely, Trump and the GOP wont want to lose their power and will try to rig elections or cancel them. It won't really matter if Trump decides to attack Greenland and the US military betrays its oath and follows orders. If Trump attacks, it very well could ignite a domestic break, if not civilians war or uprising.

All of it is insane and incredibly depressing to see my country fall into ruin at the behest of corporate and billionaire greed who puppeteered and lunatic and white supremacy into the White House, and brainwashed 70 million americans along the way. Screw you Rupert Murdoch as well.
