You don’t

They’re relying on people giving up, because the tsunami of shit is just too much

They need the American people to be like the elephant chained to a tiny stake from a young age

It has worked. You accept things that the rest of the world find bewildering and abhorrent, because you feel like there’s nothing you can do

You die from easily treatable medical problems so that people can make a profit

Your children get shot in schools, and nothing happens apart from parents buying bulletproof backpacks

People are actively supporting someone who will make their lives worse, because he encourages their hate and bigotry, so they love him for it

America is already broken

The civilised world despises you, but we also pity you.

Personally, I hate the fact that the millions of decent people get fucked by the whims of the stupid, the hateful and those who just want to make money without caring about the consequences

I felt my blood pressure rising as I read this

Perfect satire!

This is so damned true.

Like how people relaxed once Biden was voted in, thinking that America had learnt what a clusterfuck Trump was

Yanks never seem to learn

Oh, I’m definitely not expecting the US to do the right thing, or even the less awful thing

I fully expect laws to be broken, people to be persecuted, and the entire system thrown into such disarray that your backwards excuse for a country becomes a dictatorship akin to Russia

But there’s a small part of me that thinks that maybe it won’t

It’s a fucking small part.

I’m feeling a very dangerous thing:

Hope

I was pretty close to writing 'Murica off as a lost cause. You lot keep doing the most fucking horrible things

Please don’t break my heart yet again

They’ll use whoever is useful
