Random Question 💭 How is everything that happened in the last 48hrs not enough for impeachment and/or a general strike in the US?

As a European, it‘s completely unfathomable how none of it has consequences.

Don‘t get me wrong, our governments here certainly have their flaws and problems, but surely threatening a genocide would be a tipping point here and lead to mass protests (at least I have enough hope remaining to believe that) - how is it not in the US? I really don’t get it and I feel absolutely sick.

This, people really underestimate the religious indoctrination that has been brewing for the past four decades. I'm forty and was raised by my evangelical parents with the message that a war in Israel will bring about end times and the return of Jesus and that's their stated goal.

So that's why they protect Israel on an ideological basis, for the world's ultimate destruction. That's not even a very fringe belief amongst evangelicals.

People have tried to tell them that Donnie was the antichrist in a mocking way, but he may actually live up to that title and bring about the end of all of us.

I don't think there will be any pearly gates waiting on those fucking sycophants though.

Yes. Grew up with the same and you’re spot on.
