And yet you’ve collectively allowed it to happen, and have taken no action to change the status quo.
Sounds like Americans like their authoritarianism just fine.
edit: Lotta Americans here angry they don’t know how to protest like a grown up country.
These complains about “you just don’t understand our political system” are just you disempowering yourself and excusing your own inaction. If you actually cared about any of this you’d be out in the streets.
That there are no mass protests. No major efforts to modify laws. No new candidates for political offices offering anything substantive. All while your life expectancy collapses, your birth rate falls off a cliff, your healthcare system continues to implode, and your wealthiest parasites make trouble for everyone without consequences.
You don’t actually care about your problems if you aren’t willing to go outside to try to solve them.
