it’s shitty to be pointing and laughing while people are struggling.

The USA had everything in the palm of their hand. They decided to wipe their ass with it instead. You knew what kind of criminal and authoritarian Trump was and had the the plans for Project 2025 presented to you, yet the majority of the US, over two thirds, wanted it or didn't care.

Everyone warned you but you did NOTHING.

Now Americans are all weepy because their hubris has come back to haunt them.

You know what? Fuck you.

YOU expect people to do something about it. When are you willing to start throwing molotovs and fighting to get your freedoms back?

If you're Canadian as your instance suggests I can understand being especially freaked out. It's embarrassing and appalling for Trump to be bullying our long time friends and talking about making Canada a state.

Still, you're being a dick. "Everyone warned you" Yeah no shit! I didn't need a warning. Since 2016 I've gone door to door, I've tabled, volunteered at polling places, met with my representatives, protested. I'm just one person but many people have done the same.

I didn't come here asking other people to do something about it. I commented because someone from another country was mocking Americans who believe we'll have elections again.

Still, you’re being a dick.

Your fucking government, the one you elected, disrespected our PM calling him governor and called him names.

Your fucking government, the one you elected, decided AGAIN to throw out and not honour a previously signed trade agreement.

Your fucking government, the one you elected, implies they will take over our country and make it your 51st state.

Your fucking government, the one you elected, implies they will take over other countries that are our allies.

All this right after our water bombers and fire fighters to help put out fires in your country.

Americans decided this is how they wanted to roll. Americans well deserve what they have coming to them.

The only finger I will ever lift for Americans now is my middle one.

Fuck you.

I didn't elect them.

You're mad, and you're right to be. I didn't comment in this thread saying other people shouldn't be mad about what the U.S. is doing.

I'm talking about people. The comment I replied to said it was cute that people thought there would be elections. They were saying anyone here who has hope for their country to continue as a democracy is mistaken.

When you come to a sub/community about fighting Trump and say "fuck you" you're saying it to people who hate what is happening, not MAGA.

The comment I replied to said it was cute that people thought there would be elections.

A family member was just down in the states visiting a friend and she was amazed at how no one seemed to know what was going on. People were just going about their lives and shrugging off what was happening thinking it will just resolve itself. This is the general population.

If you think you'll be voting in 4 years, you're naive.

That visit scared the shit out of her and she told me she's no plans to ever return.

you’re saying it to people who hate what is happening, not MAGA.

I'll believe it when I see Americans rising up. Right now, it looks like no one is doing jack shit.
