I think something most of the outside world doesn’t understand about the USA, there are very few “us” unless you’re conservative. It’s a hyper individualistic society in an extremely large geographic area. The idea of collective anything is a foreign concept to me and I’m literally in a work union for the first time in my life for the worst job I’ve ever had. Unless my current Union is ok with the strike I can’t afford to skip work. If I didn’t have a union then the striking would be completely out of the question. I’ve been let go from jobs at the drop of a hat growing up in a “right to work state”. There isn’t a social safety net and my neighbors are completely ok with me becoming homeless. People who get to protest I’ve viewed as being privileged beyond my means. Community here is for the privileged and I’m scraping by to survive.
I can lose my life. I can lose my health. I can lose my freedom. All those things could happen with a high chance of failure without anything changing. In fact I could make the situation worse. The failed assassination attempt on Trump boosted his poll numbers and contributed to his victory and his paranoia.
It’s very easy for people like you to tell me to sacrifice, but people like you will never help me.
Make a sacrifice for me first. Do anything to make my life tolerable. Put your money where your mouth is. Then we will discuss what I’m freed up to do to help the world.
More of you could have gone out to vote against him. More of you could go to more than a one day protest once every few months.
Make May 1st your general nationwide strike with more people than the pitiful efforts that have been seen at this point.
We’ve been protesting weekly here in MN.
Let’s go! 55 weeks in a row now here.
Every day, all day, clog the arteries of industry.

Then you have nothing to lose, except what little freedom you have left to continue this endless suffering of hand to mouth bullshit.

You say this like it was any better before Trump
Most of the people commenting here were probably children before trump. What did you want the children to do?
the us has been doing shit like this for decades. trump simply just made it obvious.
It was more important to teach the democrats a lesson than stop literal fascism for a non-zero portion of us, unfortunately.
What did kamala mean when she swore to make the military the most lethal force on the planet and every democrat in the room cheered?
The Democrats were literal fascism, genocide apologist
