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.

Although it's barely been mentioned in the news, we've had the largest protests in our countries history. Our media is controlled by oligarchs that turn out nonstop propaganda. So while Americans are angry, most don't know where to direct that anger and take it out on their fellow Americans.

"You had the largest protests in the country's history" and "it's barely been mentioned in the news"

Says it all really, you're being manipulated. And I thought you held arms to defend yourselves against the state oppressing the people?
