It's easy to judge from the sidelines. We were suffering well before this guy was sworn in... Most of us are just trying to survive right now. We're eating into our savings and retirements, and/or getting second/third jobs, and/or paying off medical bills. We're just trying to get by and support our loved ones and friends after massive spikes in our cost of living, our housing costs, and out of control inflation.
You're welcome to come raise some hell outside the capital if you can afford that trip, though. No need to wait for others and scoff - you do it. Be the change you want to see. And if you think it's too expensive and far... Welcome to the same boat most of us are in here in America.
we judge cause our countries have stood against worse and understand this is the duty of the democratic citizen: to protect democracy. You in your little baby aged country do not know how bad it gonna get if you don't. Losing out on a day of work on your shitty job is going to seem like paradise in a few years.
lol I think this is my favorite crazy comment in here. You've literally taken on the persona of an old country and decreed you can judge because of your history. Not that you're just a human being who probably hasn't done shit-fuck for the country in your lifetime, but please keep taking credit for.... I don't even know what.
I'll paraphrase to be less crazy as you are right. "You dont need to wonder what happens next cause the history is full of peoples and countries who have gone through it. It is your choice to go online and convince others there's nothing you can do and everyone who suggests otherwise is not to be listened to, to sit idle and hope you are not going to be the victim or do what is in your power and capability." Its just extremely ironic "the only land of the free!!!!! " democracy was only being held up by good faith. But seriously, even your online attitude is enough to help one side or the other. You dont want to be in the find out phase of a dictatorship that is already setting up death camps in a country already built on genocide.
