I find it funny how Europeans have organised a more cohesive anti trump movement than Americans have. Truly no county has more of a boot lickjng culture than the "land of the free"

I say this as an American.

You're all better than us, a lot of people here voted for the Trump, and most of us are so successfully deluded by oligarch propaganda that many blame our powerless, homeless neighbors that we abandoned and betrayed for what the owners inflict on us.

We are gaslit beyond all hope. We can't even agree as a society that our children should be fed, and this madness of greed and demented levels of toxic individualism didn't start with Trump. It boggles my mind that people have actually wanted to immigrate here in my 40 years living inside this cesspool, only good at being an exporter of death and state mandated avarice.

Unless you're wealthy, or are sociopathic enough to become so because sociopathy is what we reward, this is a garbage place of largely garbage people. Most here would rather burn ourselves and the world than disempower our capitalists, as that would be "socialism," a word our captured government rebranded as a boogieman and that, by design, most Americans couldn't actually define with access to one of our underfunded libraries and a gun to their head.

The biggest difference is that European countries have parliamentary democracies. This means that everyone has a party that, at least to some degree, fits their needs and wants. Iโ€™m sure that if Americans realistically had more than two choices, things would be different.
