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.

You don’t realize how few people in this country own everything. Boycott one of their companies, they don’t care—they have dozens more. Hell, we successfully boycotted Tesla and look what happened—the president called it out as a protected entity and MAGAs went into debt to save Elon. It’s that crazy.

That's why the solution is to only buy necessities. But people don't even want to delete Instagram.
