This activated neurons in my brain I didn’t know still existed. I used to watch Power Rangers so much as a kid.
- Bulk and Skull.

Bulk and Skull would have handled that situation better.

Bulk and Skull eventually redeemed themselves.

Leaders of the me me me world.

Leaders of the free world rookies, lookie how can six dicks be pussies?

“Us”? we are not trump.
edit: TIL every person in America is donald trump.
- Nah my dude, those two assholes are your highest ranking officials that you elected to be your representatives.
  
  oh I did? I didn’t know that.
  edit: /s I thought that was obvious idk.
- I’m with you! Every country has awesome people and assholes..
- You need to read up on the concept of political representative. In fact the ignorance of the average American about their own political system is one of the many reasons you are in the situation you are in right now.
- “Us”? we are not trump.
  We are.
  We let this happen.
  We made this happen.
  We voted away democracy to a senile, racist, rambling, rapist, treasonous, bootlicking, servile, incompetent, moronic, gullible, manipulable, greedy, gluttonous, slothful, cheeto-encrusted pig-eyed slug of an excuse of a human being.
  We chose this.
  Americans have shown their true colors.
  Americans are not worth America.
  
  “we we we”. Again I’m not sure who you’re thinking of but it isn’t me.
- America has historically been more like Trump than not: Fat, racist, sexist, bullying, greedy, corrupt.
  He’s the perfect president for this shithole
- Rest of the world: prove it.
- You are, the rest of the world is done thinking otherwise. You're an enemy now and only one way to deal with you
  
  Oooooo we found an angsty teen.
- Call us back when we hear about the United Russia invasion of Ukraine or the Likud genocide.
  Or when there are tanks at the Capitol, because that’s where you’ve all let it get to while abandoning your freedom, allies, neighbours, science, climate, religious freedom, and health. While you continue to allow Hitler to run an Economic and Anti-Spanish Inquisition that everyone expected.
  
  I live in a big city in a blue state. I do not take any responsibility for trump nor am I “allowing” anything. But whatever makes you feel better.
- Who is?
  Who made Trump happen?
  I'm sorry you feel powerless to affect your country, but there is no one else to. Abdicating that responsibility neither removes the consequences, nor exculpates you.
  In a rioting mob, even the people not setting fire to things are in part responsible for the riots.
  In your survival, head-in-the-sand, mode you are normalising the situation, you are providing legitimacy, you are enforcing the current order.
  The other side can say "look, this dude's not protesting, they have a great life under Great Leader", they can ignore you and put those resources to oppress others instead (women, trans, homosexuals, foreigners, allies), they can march right past your house to take the capital.
  Your inaction is also a choice, a choice that emboldens and enables the fascists.
  If you don't act, who should? If you don't act now, will there be another time?
  
  I’m not sure how you got all that from my comment but again, way off. There are in fact people in the U.S. that don’t support trump or what he’s doing. Believe it or not. And I’m really not sure how you got the impression that I choose to bury my head in the sand or whatever.
  Who is?
  well for starters;
  the people who actually voted for him
  the foreign financiers
  special interest groups
  the billionaire class donors
  foreign influence campaigns,
  elected officials who enabled voter suppression and disenfranchisement
  the heritage foundation
  and,(in my opinion), vote manipulation.
  I stand by my statement, “we” are not trump. There is a maniac with unlimited funding consolidating power. And it’s only been a little over one month. some people voted for him because they didn’t think he would.
  But not me.
  You can’t blame the actions of this administration on me. My inbox is full of rants like this but you have the wrong person. I’m sure that person you want to blame is on here somewhere but it isn’t me.
