The question remains: What are the real americans going to do about it?

It's not going to get better by itself, and the rest of the world can't just come over and fix it.

This was news to the people who needed to hear it

It's another notch in the wall. We all wish the wall would come down already... But it will be painfully slow and all encompassing

But every notch does matter

They have to be run out town and any that have acted on their murderous desires need to be tried for their crimes. It makes more sense why USAID was shut down though. These people are part of a death cult and the conspiracy theories are just an attempt to sanitize the murderous plans to gullible people.

You think this isn't happening in the rest of the world?

No, the things that are happening in the US right now is not really comparable to things happening in any other Western democracy. All countries have their issues, but this blatant fascist takeover occurring in the US right now is quite unique.

But it is a cautionary tale. Other countries aren't trying very hard to stifle their growing far-right movements and will end up the same way if they keep giving them legitimacy. They could also more openly condemn the fascist USA instead of treating Trump as acceptable and allowing him the usual respectful state visits.

That's not whataboutism at all. I'm not downplaying the US's extreme fascism in any way. I'm saying that it's not an isolated case.

So you're just saying that america isn't the only one; what about other countries.
