Have you read theory? Joined a group? Union? Doing any mutual aid? Community garden? Working to form a vanguard? You people are like children. No one expects you to put on a red cape and fly, we do expect you to get off your ass and do SOMETHING.

    We are like children.

    White Americans have been raised to believe the most preposterous set of lies about ourselves (land of freedom, etc) and the amount of effort to sustain that belief despite all evidence to the contrary is hard to imagine. Effort from the ruling class (eg "god save America" at the baseball game) but also internal efforts from the people themselves - because the collapse of the lie tears your self image apart. This actually started during the George Floyd Black Lives Matter moment but the reaction the other way brings us back to Trump.

    People who want real change, and end to imperialism and capitalism feel isolated and hopeless. 1/3 if the country are committed to racism and misogyny. All lot of better off folks just want the illusions of the old normalcy back.

    It doesn't help that truly unedited critical voices here get shut down for somehow being responsible for Putin.

    Fuck all the way off. Your point does not merit more than that as a response. Fuck off.

    You are a lazy, fat, petulant child. You are Veronica in Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. You imagine your slavish cowardice will save you.
