    Yes and no.

    The American population is by and large not resisting fascism.

    I don’t, obviously, mean there’s been no resistance or that there’s nobody deserving of solidarity. There have been protests and there are people resisting. But in general, the pushback has been minimal. Trump and co are generally getting away with whatever outrageous thing they do each week.

    So to then see comments trying to call out our lack of action, when there has been quite substantial action here, deserves a response. Our government are at the point where there’s murmurings of its collapse and a new left wing party is forming with record membership. And Westminster has only committed a handful of heinous acts in comparison with Trump/Republicans committing heinous acts every day.

    So I take on and get what you’re saying, but perhaps try telling it to EvilEdgelord too.
