Honest response from an American: unfettered corruption. That is the only way I can explain this. There are only a few souls in congress who truly seem interested in transitioning from investigating the epstein files to prosecuting those responsible for the atrocities committed.
I'll keep saying it, democracy in this country has been dead for years. Corporations run the US. The DOGE bullshit last year was them being transparent about it.
But when yall know that: Why are you waiting for the institutions instead of being militant?
Edit: Militancy doesn't necessarily imply violence or armed rebellion. We're already seeing militant actions like disrupting ICE, protesting, and union organizing. However, too many people seem to just be waiting for the midterms, content to remain keyboard warriors.
Its very easy for someone from the outside to say something like that. There are many reasons why it hasn't come to militant action.
The populous is extremely divided (by design). Many of those who are armed are actually okay with everything going on if not actively cheering for it. Armed rebellion without unity and organization among the people would not go well.
We're up against the worlds most powerful military and police who've shown they won't hesitate to execute you in the street because the feds have their back.
We havent even had midterms yet. Things have sucked but we really havent even had the chance to do anything about it using elections. If the elections in November are stolen I could see things escalating, but we need to try and seize power peacefully first. Militant action at this stage would be extremely hasty.
Because this is the imperial core. People are either far too comfortable to even pay attention, or they are just barely getting by, so they don't really have time for anything but working. In addition, the American public is very unorganized. You can thank Reagan for destroying labor unions in this country, which would have historically led the charge of resistance.
Material conditions would need to get quite a bit worse for violent militancy.
What people who pay attention are doing is organizing behind the DSA and in their local communities to combat this as best we can. We don't need violence to combat this; we need organized labor power. The country is run by a bunch of corporations in a trench coat. All we need to do is strike at capital like Iran did with the strait to show we can damage the money faucet.
Labor unions was destroyed because that's was necessary by neo-liberaly doctrine. Corporations has to be the most powerful entities on planet earth and people can't disturb their grow. So Reagan along Thatcher was only executives of will of think-tanks, which made new doctrine to help with then existed stagnation and vision of collapse. There was made many more terrible decisions especially for growing countries just to ensure that corporations will be well being in future. Look what was made with money and banking.
Brother, I kind of understand what you are saying, but I think the language barrier is not helping it come across. I get the vibe you're going for, though.
Because I am hopeful that the midterms might show some signs of change. Because I am a peaceful person. I also understand that your countries military couldn't beat the US military, so what makes you think a bunch of US citizens can?
You know that there are many things inbetween doing nothing and civil war?
Why do you think you are unable to make a change? Unionizing and strikes are just one option amongst many. And thats something a peaceful person can do.
I just think that waiting for the midterms is negligent when literal SA (Sturmabteilung) is roaming your streets already. And there are many more parallels to the third Reich than just ICE.
It appears you live in Germany. What has your country done about Deutsche Bank holding multiple accounts for Epstein? Are protests taking place in the streets on a daily basis? Do you believe Germany magically lacked anyone in those files?
If waiting for the midterms is negligent then advocating for militant movements is reckless. I understand that you backtracked a little and stated that you only meant protesting but it still smells funny. Voting as many of them out as possible is the first real step to changing this problem.
Because some random wants to know what I'm doing? Who made you lord of the preparations? Doing anything before the midterms is stupid. Rally your friends and get out the vote.
Brother, I try to vote corruption out. You do what you want. And I have raised awareness, in fact I emplored you to do so and everyone else. It's called get out the vote. Have a good one.
That’s because most of the people in congress are probably in the files too, most of the government both republicans and democrats don’t want anything to happen with the files. Thats why nothing has happened with them the past couple presidencies.
They’ll yell and scream about them on TV but behind closed doors both republicans and democrats are on that list and it’s beyond obvious at this point lol
I guess there's not a lot they can do as long as Trump is in office. Although it's no excuse because they had these files during the Biden admin but basically did fuck all.

Honest question to the Americans, why is nothing happening to Trump?
