United States politics
I’m glad to read at least some of them are facing justice for these heinous acts, not enough are though.
Wow from an outside perspective I must say you USians are very insane (at least when it comes to politics)
We’re not all insane. The problem is that there’s a very vocal minority that’s insane. There are between 10% and 30% of our population that think anyone who opposes them should be violently overthrown. They justify any actions they take with “the liberals would do this to us so we’re just beating them to it.” (Note: We would not.) This vocal minority is getting more representation than any other group and they still complain that they are underrepresented and that the entire country should bend to their whims.
Unfortunately, things are going to get worse before they get better unless the majority of sane people vote to ensure that the crazies stay out of power.
We have a growing proportion of our population that is uneducated and easily manipulated.
It’s a major bummer.
Yes, some of us are. It’s terrifying
Jesus I was thinking about trying to volunteer with election stuff but maybe not…
Not that I blame you at all, but this is the exact kind of reaction these terrorists were hoping for. Sad more of us in general have real brown shirts to worry about now.
Yea I’m aware it’s feeding into their goal. I just have to weigh personal safety as well. I’m a white dude though so maybe I’ll just volunteer and wear flannel or some shit and hope their prejudice has a blind spot for me
