"Help"
Nah man, they did that to themselves and now the rest of the world have to face the consequences. Im sorry for them but i have 0 sympathy anymore, they are not the ones who are going die in a cold trench in the middle of the artic or gods know where because they elected a psycho compromised by Russia. Stop crying and do something about it.
God, you make it sound so easy. I feel so stupid. Why didn't I think about just doing something about it? Don't worry mate. With your brilliant insight I'll have it fixed by Wednesday.
And yet you're expecting the rest of the world to fix it for you.
I mean, this problem isn't confined to lines on a map. No effective solution will be either. Those lines are just fantasies that powerful people use to stay in power.
Stop making excuses. This is a problem of your own country's creation, and it's up to you, not the rest of us, to fix it.
We have our own problems. Liberating the US is not under our remit. We are not the world police.
I didn't create this problem anymore than you did. This problem existed long before I was born and has consistently gotten worse in ways I have no control over.
No one's asking you to fly to the US to personally rip Donald Trump's throat out.
I didn't say you did personally.
Stop asking for other countries to do the work your own country should be doing.
It's not our job to sort out your mess.
American nationalism strikes again.
The fact of the matter is that the governments of the world have a lot more power to do something about it than non-wealthy US citizens. But they're not.
Imagine saying this to the Jews in 1930s Germany.
"Jews" didnt elect Hitler, germans did.
”Akshually” Hitler wasn’t elected, he was appointed by the president who was pressured by industry magnates, the tech billionaire parallel of that time. That isn’t to say he didn’t have support, he barely lost the election, but he wasn’t actually elected to lead the nation.
The US is one Reichstags fire away from going down the same road.
Very similar to Trump getting into power too. He didn't win by a majority of the popular vote last election (only had a plurality), and he lost the popular vote the first go.
Not to mention, right wingers have been caught over and over again doing everything they can to tamper with elections for atleast the past decade, the US electoral system is specifically designed to suppress voting, and various other governments have been actively spreading propaganda and otherwise meddling in US elections.
Nothing about the current regime reflects the values or desires of the typical US denizen.
He didn't win, he wasn't shot, and he fucked kids.
Were the Jews living in Germany.... Not German?
The people hurt by the Nazis and the people who are and will be hurt by the Republicans are mostly Americans.
"it's not my responsibility to not support something bad because it's your fault. I'm going to keep giving the source of the problem money until you make it go away. Hurry up and do something, as long as that something doesn't involve asking me not to financially suppor the problem.".
