    Edit: this isn’t specific to you, I just picked your comment to reply to. Bit of a rant but the calls for violence and illegal action from the rest of the world is getting tiresome.

    We dont see much proof of Americans reacting to any of the things that are happening

    Where are you looking? Compromised US media? Are you in the US? North America? The western hemisphere?

    How much have you been engaging American citizens on social media? Where are they? East coast? West coast?

    The United States is a country that is literally the size of the continent of Europe. I just saw a stat that there are more people living in New York City than all but 12 of the 50 states.

    I live in middle America and it’s a very different environment and climate here than it is out east in Massachusetts. I was just in Las Vegas and other than maybe slightly fewer travelers you’d never know the country is descending into fascism. Covid was more noticeable of an impact there than the current political situation.

    your politicians keep approving one crazy bill after the other.

    Who? At what level? Federal? Which politicians? Republicans who don’t represent even the constituents they’re supposed to serve?

    47 signs executive orders, the court shuts (some of) them down. They roll back federal laws and protections and the (democrat controlled) states work to add them back at the state level.

    Unfortunately, most American media, whether intentionally or they’re just that easily duped, is creating a particular narrative.

    I’m not sure what reaction the rest of the world has expected but most of the things I’ve seen posited are unrealistic.

    I’d also encourage the rest of the world to engage in some introspection. American hegemony got to where it is today with the help of the rest of the world. It’s great that everyone is waking up about reliance on America but it’s all been reactionary. Why not start that 20 years ago?
