You’re not against your country, you would be fighting FOR it.
But yes. Trump has won due to the apathy of Americans.
It’s over. Soon you’ll lose everything.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

When folks have nothing left to lose is when it starts.
Yeah we've had it too good for too long. We're spoiled.
Why wait?
I'm no psychologist, but I'd say there's too much yet to lose. People aren't going to blow up their lives over the slow boil until there's no food left. It happened to the French when they marched for bread.
Actual American fight for freedom & democracy. "patriots" support the orange rapist.
Be an American. Put the rapist in prison.
It would be wrong to not feel that way at this point. Just be patient. Prepare. Plot. If anything you can prepare for events like heat waves, food shortages, etc. stocking up on precursors is also a good plan, and passive.
Be careful with this one, Don. There are things you say in public, and there are things you say in private.
It's too late... they're already on the third blocklist.
I had once the illusion that governments are for the people by the people. nowadays I think they are just an exercise of power over other countries in a perennial nations-scale darwinism. and there are no good countries. it's literally everyone against everyone. in this context, the single, the family nucleus, are worth nothing unless it's for diplomatic/promotional value. otherwise they are just cannon fodder either economically or militarly. if you feel alone they have won isolating you. connect with others (in the real world). in the word politics the suffix "poli" says that it's an exercise of many. you probably won't change anything, but at least it will feel better.
Do not start a revolution. No matter who wins America loses. It won’t be like the civil war (north against south) it will be neighbor vs neighbor.
Other countries would get involved supporting the side they feel would best benefit them.
We emerge from the war decimated and broke. Would lose our place as the world power.
It would be worse for everyone. And that’s if WE win. If the trumpets win they might bring back actual slavery.
Protest, riot, vote. That’s the plan.
You haven't been following their voter suppression techniques haven't you? I'll be surprised if there even are midterms. Protests won't get you out of that
See that kind of talk might start a revolution. If you hadn’t said “haven’t “ twice we might’ve had a revolution. Seriously tho you are a hit “doom and gloom” and that doesn’t help.
i mean... u know....
I hate the country I grew up in, but I have no money nor the means to be able to move to the country I want. And this is due to the shitty economy of the country I grew up in. So, be an anti-patriot. Be an anarchist. More power to ya.
Note: by no means am I really blaming the country for my lack of financial stability. I take full accountability for not preparing my life so that I prosper. But my point is: its hard no matter who I am or what I do.
