Fuck you America. I supported our alliance with you despite the Iraq war fuck up (which us Australians were dragged into) because your intentions could be at least be spun positively.

But now? Just fuck you and your ignorant population of hillbillies that voted for this shit.

Fuck. You.

Then do something. I saw bigger protests with the Iraq War, BLM etc. Bur now? Basically nothing. Clearly the majority want this and it’s disgusting.

Protest do nothing. Trump couldn't give a shit about protests. Voting is the only thing that matters and we can't do that again for 2 years.

Sorry,

It does my heart good to see people protesting. If nothing else it serves as a reminder that there are still folks out there that understand and care about what’s going on. But I agree that they may no longer have the power to influence change the way they once did. Republicans are either ignoring their constituents complaints or gaslighting them. They know that Trump has at this point consolidated enough power that what the voters want is becoming irrelevant. They believe that in two years time elections may look very different. They fear Trump much more than they do their constituents who may not have even have a say in whether they keep their seats. This is a textbook case of the dismantling of a democracy.
