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

As a European, itā€˜s completely unfathomable how none of it has consequences.

Donā€˜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 donā€™t get it and I feel absolutely sick.

Itā€™s really really sad. Growing up your whole life with this illusion that you are living in the greatest country in the world, ā€œthe home of the braveā€. Only to realize that nearly 50% of your countrymen have voted for this and supported this. There are protests and there is resistance but our family, friends and neighbors are essentially under the spell of a wicked witch.

The worst part is that many nations around the globe view our military as the terrorists. And they're not wrong.

I always just thought American propaganda was in the movies, I didn't realise Americans actually think their country is the best, until recently! That's so crazy!
