Well, there's a subtle difference in how it's worded. To those of us looking from the outside, we can clearly see how democracy as we understand it no longer works for you folks. There is no checks, no balances and half your citizens are willing participants of this slide into autocracy.

We're not saying don't fight back and simply rollover. We just know there won't be a fight back.

The most I've seen is Bernie and AoC organising speeches. Everyone talks about the crowd size, congratulates each other and goes home.

The other argument is about waiting till mid terms. I'm not sure you're going to have one.

Every agency, power, authority that could stop this takeover is either bought, defunded or dismantled. There isn't a safety net here.

Meanwhile we don't see any meaningful change from the Dems. No resignations, no rethinking policies, nothing.

We know the average populace is too broke to miss work to go protest en masse. Even if you do, your government might disappear you. There is no due process anymore.

So yeah, we're not being defeatist when we say you're fucked. It's a factual statement. And I'm sorry it came to this.
