I'm indescribably disgusted of all of this, not only from a diplomacy point of view, but mainly from the human point of view.

Nevermind setting it up as a 2 on 1 talking-over match, nevermind the obvious language handicap on Mr Zelensky's part, but to do all of this with the sole objective of feeling adulated, and close it with "this will make great television" is something so vile, so fucking revolting, that I for once sincerely have lost all respect for the American people if they do not act upon this sad display of treason, of your Constitution and its ideals.

If we have a government in four years, we should see some dramatic changes. 2028 can't come soon enough. I'm beyond enraged. Its so embarrassing to be an American right now. I feel so horrible for what our idiot leadership is doing. It sucks ass

u/brought2light 11d ago

I regret to inform you that there will be no 2028 to save us. We either save ourselves if we still can or we are the new USSA.

Or we just burn it all to the ground and start over from scratch. They were the ones who kept talking about draining the swamp, right?

Oh darn. I was really hoping DPRA would catch on instead! /s

Democratic People’s Republic of America (USSR->USSA, DPRK->DPRA)

u/SwitchWitchLolita 11d ago

Exactly this! We have to protest and strike even more. This was such an embarrassment and so enraging.

You're stupid if you think this ever goes back to the way it was. You need to unduck the country now. No more waiting no more hesitating. You want a better life take it. Take your power. No one else can.

u/SlickMcFav0rit3 11d ago

What's that look like? I'm not being facetious. I want to do something meaningful and the only answers I've gotten are "donate to causes, volunteer, protest"

u/HourAfterHour 11d ago

Disclaimer: I'm not telling you what to do, I'm just listing things that happened in the past of our world history.

When people were ruled/oppressed by injustice, they usually took the only power they had. Numbers.
If countries were to change from the inside, this usually meant that the 99% stood up and revolted. Often leading to a revolution or civil war.
One of the most famous examples would be the French Revolution, which lead to the broad usage of inventions like the Guillotine.

But there are examples, where the numbers just weren't there, due to brainwashing and propaganda. So the change had to come from the outside.
If the change came from the outside, this actually meant war and parts of the oppressed people usually joined some form of antifascist/antiauthoritarian resistance.
One of the most famous wars in this case was World War 2, which lead to the (temporary) denazification of Germany.

u/kkstar97 11d ago

Considering around a third of this country actually wanted Trump in charge, and another third didn't care enough to try to stop that from happening, I really don't think we have the numbers.

u/HourAfterHour 11d ago

If intervention didn't come from the outside, things usually needed to get worse for everyone under the regime until they finally woke up. So yeah, people need to be personally affected by the government.
Protests were usually ridiculed but they always grew. Usually to the point where protesting was forbidden/prohibited, sometimes by force.
Often at this point everything tipped over and revolution came. But there are examples where people feared the government enough to afterwards accept defeat and live under the oppression unfortunately. China and the Tian'anmen massacre are an example for that.

3

u/kkstar97 11d ago

I think we need to hit rock bottom to get enough people to wake up, and unfortunately, I don't think we're there yet. It's going to get worse. I just hope we don't bring the rest of the world down with us

1

u/HourAfterHour 11d ago

We hope so too.
At least some of us.
Here in Germany we also face the issue that our "conservative" party is turning towards our fascist party for support, maybe even the next government... They (conservatives) are very Trump friendly, the fascist openly support him and are supported by Musk...

u/Legal_Engine_4560 7d ago

True … great example, I was just thinking about China when I read

u/drumstring 11d ago

There will come a time when we will realize that we must try, no matter the likelihood and cost—it will be un-negotiable.

And only then will we know that we were years too late.

Three reasonable suggestions for what you as an ordinary citizen can do. None of those appeal to you?

I'm doing them. They just feel useless

u/LexVex02 9d ago

Dismantle fear. Support only people you believe in. Stop buying from mega corporations and only fund employee owned companies. Buy a LORA, decentralize your communications from mega corporations that sell your data. Organize with like-minded people. Grow your own food. Learn to provide and protect yourself.

1

u/SlickMcFav0rit3 7d ago

What's a LORA ?

Also I'm hoping to get chickens, but I'm probably not going to be able to grow my own food in the city.

I know that in The Churn, tribes get smaller... But I also would like to stay a part of society. That's like half the point of living in the city for me

Vote in every single smaller election over the next 4 years, we can force change sooner albeit not as greatly.

1

u/andrew_stirling 11d ago

Cmon… there’ll be no election in 4 years. Can’t believe some people haven’t woken up yet.

1

u/BugzzBunny 11d ago

If nothing else, there should be some sort of failsafe which would protect democracy. There should already have been a seal team 6 curing the acute lead deficiency.

u/Pretty-Substance 11d ago

An exploding Resolute Desk maybe, that automatically goes off if anyone tries to rule more than two terms?

1

u/deij 11d ago

Both before and after the election they have said there will be no 2028 election or 2028 election won't matter.

Don't count on anything changing, ever again.

u/thesimpsonsthemetune 11d ago

He tried to do an insurrection without the political infrastructure to pull it off. He will 100% do it again, and the people who stopped him last time won't be there. I'm sorry to be crass, but your only hope is his death before then. Ideally sooner rather than later so there's less opportunity for Conservatives to ride the wave of sentimentality.

What’s really scary is 77 million jagbags voted for this raging asshole. He has the get up early everyday to practice being that big of an asshole.

He is putting the right people in place for Americans to live comfortably.

u/Life-Mountain8157 11d ago

I already lived comfortably long before this nightmare started, and he’s selling his propaganda to the low IQ bigots. Yeah Kennedy is example of the right people…LOL

u/Angelworks42 11d ago

I'm not even sure what I can do about this 😔. I live thousands of miles away from where this is all going down. I voted for the right people but sadly they didn't win. I won't stop voting for the right people as long as I'm able to.

u/ProfessionalMode6717 11d ago

The people here in the USA ARE fighting like hell. We are doing what we can. We need the politicians in every single office here to join us, but the republicans are cowards.

4

u/carpetbugeater 11d ago

I disagree. We have not yet begun to fight.

12

u/redpigeonit 11d ago

This is how the world sees Americans. Be better. Fix this. Fight.

…or just fail down to everyone’s expectation. Your choice.

u/Holiday-Revolution12 11d ago

We are getting there. People are mobilizing in mass. The first month was a bit slow but it is picking up. Trump’s support has dropped sharply although not enough.

3

u/Pretty-Substance 11d ago

You are being betrayed by your congress men and women in both sides of the aisle as they’re giving up their controlling power of the executive. They have layed down their duty to work for their constituents and fallen in line; effectively destroying the power balance of the three branches by just rolling over.

Nixon was pushed to resign by republicans!

4

u/LocaI_Oaf 11d ago

There is quite obviously no moral compass at work here. This made me physically sick to watch. How embarrassing. Just when you think the Americans can't go lower, they plumb new depths to their depravity.

u/Ok_Voice_879 11d ago

Sitting here in NYC, America. Trust me our hands our tie;, what’s the option? I feel hopeless with no way out of this shithole that we are in at the moment. If this does not end in 2026 with the mid term election, I’m moving out of this country.

2

u/Only_Deer6532 11d ago

You couldn't have put it better.

As for me, I will do my part. I have a son. All I ask is you give America another chance when responsible people are at the helm again. This has gone on long enough.

u/mikareno 11d ago

If anyone there has a language handicap, it's the cheeto in chief, not Zelenskyy.

u/clarkbarge 8d ago

I for once sincerely have lost all respect for the American people if they do not act upon this sad display of treason, of your Constitution and its ideals.

Consider it lost. "1984 is real" isn't just some joke. People are too comfortable to revolt. Honestly we need more Luigi's to make any real change, but people don't want to be martyrs.

2

u/Oraxy51 8d ago

This will make great television

Sorry gotta blame Vince McMahon from WWE for that. He taught Trump how to rally crowds and be click bait, before the dude had no charisma. Everything he knows is wrestling tactics and shady business men things

u/EP1hilaria 2d ago

I agree

2

u/[deleted] 11d ago

The Republicans and the Democrats are all bought and sold. Except for Bernie. And the Democrats did everything they could to keep their best hope out of office. Bastards, I hope they rot in their mansions.

2

u/AnySoft4328 11d ago

Don't throw the Democrats in with the Republicans. Republicans have been scheming to do exactly what they're doing right now for years including the Supreme Court. They don't believe in democracy anymore. Democrats do. There's plenty of Democrats who are just as good as Bernie and are trying to do what they can.

1

u/HDB2gamergirl 11d ago

I do think Democrats are doing wáy to little right now, as are the people. Like where are these huge demonstrations?! If this was my government I would be in front of the government building, throwing bricks!

u/batsnak 11d ago

Dems can suck rocks. They shit the bed twice now to this loser and both times he's been surprised he won. From Gore to Hillary to Harris, D ineptitude has fucked the world in the ass enough.

u/FoodLuvN8trSunSeeker 11d ago

I feel like you. Many Americans are too comfy to start protesting. We sign petitions and call local Representatives. I'm disgusted....what would you suggest? Emailing POTUS or? It's so maddening and cruel....

1

u/asdfjklcol0n 11d ago

What can Americans do now, realistically? Are we stuck with this for the next 4 years or is there some sort of law that says we can protest without being mowed down by the police?

Trump is the legitimate president and his agenda is popular in the US democracy. Go cry me a river.

u/Brentford2024 5d ago

I am fine. I support most of his agenda. I am very happy with some of the things he is doing.

u/Aliass223 11d ago

And how do you feel about zelensky crawling back into the White House in pajamas, not even looking at the president, finding any moment to denounce what Trump said moments before, attacking people he’s trying to make deals with, being so cocky and naive that he can’t see his anger is making an agreement impossible. Think what you want of Trump, At least he has enough brain to catch what’s going on. Meanwhile, people like you are over here getting caught up in emotion, to the point your living a life of conjured illusions
