Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

I guess you haven't paid attention to those of us who have been fighting against this shit as we're able for well over two decades. I guess you don't see the gradual increase in awareness.
Has it led to ovethrowing everything yet? No, but a lot of people are fucking concerned. So you guess wrong.
It is, however, a shithole, yes. And if I could get out, I fucking would.
I really hate to minimize the very real efforts you're talking about. From the outside, it's just...too much. It's gone way too far, the damage being done is way over the line. I can say with 100% certainty that if this was happening where I am, we would be burning things to ground by now. That's the frustrating part.
I just don't know how the American people (I'm not including MAGA in that) expect the rest of the world to care or help when, as a nation, you're not helping yourselves.
I'm not saying nobody is trying, but I am saying that looking at things at the nation-state level, you guys are going to be looked at as the enemy, and also won't attract much outside help, if you can't find a way to make real progress against this blatant fascism, peaceful or otherwise.
It's a shit situation.
Please don't take this the wrong way, but if you aren't from the US you probably don't understand. We don't generally have the same protections workers in other countries have. There's no guaranteed sick days or PTO. Healthcare is usually tied to - or at least heavily subsidized by - your employment. Education has been defunded for decades. Housing costs are so high and minimum wages so low that many struggle to afford rent, let alone get onto the property ownership ladder.
On the contrary, entertainment is relatively cheap and plentiful. Even those in poverty are generally able to escape their woes temporarily with the TV or online. The system is designed to keep people helpless and complacent, and it's been working beautifully from the perspective of the ruling class.
What this all results in is people with jobs that barely pay enough to afford to meet their basic needs, and can't go without work because they can't afford the risk of no healthcare or income, and aren't inclined or educated enough to better their situations.
