That's how the fascists win.

I don't have to do anything. I left the US and gave up my citizenship 25 years ago because it started to scare me when Dubya signed the USA Patriot Act and started turning Gitmo into a concentration camp. I'm watching the disaster unfold from afar.
I was kind of hoping America would get its shit together, but the only thing Americans are apparently good at is voluntarily drowning in more shit. They wanted Trump once because they're fucking morons, and they wanted it a second time after knowing exactly what he was and what he did because they're fucking fascists.
There's nothing good in America because there's nothing good in Americans. I should know, I was one.
I lived in the states for about 6 years and left around 2005 for the same reason. Every day since, I’ve been increasingly grateful to be out of that fuckin place.
That's a level of self-awareness this country could use tbh. My man's not afraid to admit he's got nothing good in himself in service of making the greater point that none of us Americans have nothing good in us either. 🥂
I'm really glad they self deported. We need people who can see a future here without cruelty and fascism. Without seeing that, the fight is already over.
That just reinforces my point
You're a coward. We're better off without you.
Don't worry - we'll take care of it, or die trying.
