I’m shocked that I haven’t seen one protest yet. Is the media suppressing them? If there aren’t any, why?

      Canada here. We see nothing about Murcan protests, if they exist. We just hear Canadians/politicians reacting negatively to pretty much everything coming out of the white house.

      We ask each other how can Murcans be okay with being treated like this. Don’t they understand what’s happening?

        No. Overwhelmingly, no, they don’t. The MAGA crowd is stuck to their pants with glee, the liberal crowd is going “oh well, we’ll get em in the midterms,” and about another third of the country is just brain-dead clueless about all of it. Maybe a few thousand people in the US actually understand just how close we are to cascading systemic collapse.

        I really hope you’re right. I’m actually very scared that they’ll take over our social media this election season and we’ll get fucked as well.

          I really hope our people are smart enough to know when they’re being manipulated as the MAGAts have been. It looks like our cons are waking up though, and realizing that it’s not the time for smöl PP

      Not only mass media, but social media algorithms as well. Big tech is complicit in the coup
