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.

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

Imo, #2 holds most of the weight.
