It's clear from this comment that you do not understand the complexities of US politics. If you don't have something useful to contribute, I'd recommend spending your time understanding the political system here, the generational propaganda machine, and why it isn't simply a matter of every politically conscious individual going outside and protesting. People are already protesting all over the country and he's not out of office. There have even been assassination attempts.
Maybe you weren't paying attention for the last month. The president's secret police have killed several civilians in broad daylight, in some cases specifically because these people were trying to help others who were being attacked. You have no idea what the fuck is going on here, honestly, and your comment is as ignorant as it is unwarranted.
It's also worth remembering that our economic system has intentionally or not, pacified and domesticated the working class through threat of poverty and state sanctioned violence. Resistance always requires great personal sacrifice, which is why those who do so are heroes. For the rest of the working class, they have to weigh the risks of resisting which includes, death, losing their families, their homes, jobs, etc.
> pacified and domesticated the working class through threat of poverty and state sanctioned violence.
More likely through outright bribery. What's the average hourly wage in the US? About $40? While 90% of workers worldwide earn less than $2. The difference is more than 20 times.
The American working class voted for this, the American working class is the main beneficiary of this, and, as far as I know, NO ONE in the American working class, even in solidarity with other workers, has handed over to them the money they unfairly receive at the expense of the rest of the world.
> American working class is the main beneficiary of this
This is very out of touch with the current economic situation in the United States. It was certainly true for the Boomer generation, but the economic situation and wealth gap disparity has only gotten worse for Gen X, Millenials, and Gen Z.
The primary beneficiaries are the rich. As many regime supporters in the working class are finding out the hard way, they are also just resources to be extracted from. ICE agents aren't going to be paid the blood money they were promised. Farmers and manufacturers are getting shafted by tariff policy.
Americans may make ~20x more on average than the rest of the world, but the newer generations still can't afford homes, healthcare, food, etc.
> wealth gap disparity has only gotten worse for Gen X, Millenials, and Gen Z
And how much do they make? $35 an hour? Okay, let's even go very safe and go with a large margin, say they make $30 an hour. And compare that to LESS THAN $2 an hour, which is what 90% of the rest of the world makes. That's still a difference of MORE THAN 15 times. You can't argue with math.
> The primary beneficiaries are the rich.
No, that's bs. The main beneficiaries are the American working class. They YEARLY have more income than American billionaires accumulated over generations. They elected Trump. Twice.
Meanwhile, 90% of workers worldwide earn less than $2 an hour.
And how many Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z have given up most of their tens of dollars hourly salaries for the benefit of the world's workers, earning less than two dollars an hour? Zero!
Additionally, revolutionaries do it for the working class. We're all in this together. The divisive anti-US comments in this subthread are so unbelievably out of touch with what is happening in the US.

Overall, it doesn't seem like a very complex problem. The US simply does not have a vote of no confidence nor the tradition of using it when unfit people like Trump and his traveling circus reach the highest levels of government and need to be stopped. Instead, people pacify themselves with fairy tales about "checks and balances", which are nothing more than gentleman's agreements in a world with very few gentlemen, and no substitute for actual legal procedures for removing inept leaders. To pick an example from this week - where I live, Pam Bondi would have faced a vote of no confidence and loss of her position the very next day after her House hearing during which she made hysterical deflections and personally attacked members of parliament.
The "complex" part seems to be that Americans appear unable to even imagine holding public officials accountable like that. Instead of the American public's expectations of their leaders rising over time, they are rapidly declining before our eyes as governance inches closer to trash entertainment like reality TV and pro wrestling.
Any time you catch yourself oversimplifying a nation's politics to a single issue, rest assured that your understanding of the situation is equally oversimplified.
First you indignantly ask why we're not protesting and then denigrate them as "little protests". Then you assert that personal firearms might solve the problem against the most technologically advanced armed forces in the world. Maybe you can share what country you live in and how you've so successfully fought against the state.
The No Kings protest was the largest in US history BTW.
> Keep telling yourself that these issues are for scholars
What a straw man. I said no such thing.
> The whole world can see through your bullshit. Brought to you by the thoughts and prayers people!
Quite frankly, your caricature of the US only serves to highlight your own extreme ignorance and bias.
> For a country with more guns than people you certainly forget very conveniently what they are for.
I am well aware of the motivation behind the 2nd amendment. Stop acting like a pretentious clown and hit a textbook. You don't know a damn thing about the US and it shows.
