I want to believe but I am forced to question the character of US citizens. I apologize if this offends and I would love to be proven wrong.
Why would I expect the “good people” in the US who “didn’t vote for authoritarianism” to suddenly grow a spine and a social conscience if all the evidence for decades shows they can’t even take political action to protect their school children? This is unfathomable for someone in another country where just one mass slaughter of innocents would unify an outraged nation into decisive action. I think even the “good guys” might be more broken than you realize. There is no greater call on any parent than to defend their own offspring. If they can’t do that can they really be expected to defend the rights of strangers?
I hope for your sake you can all reclaim your humanity. It is never too late.
I’m guessing you don’t know what it’s like to lack representation. I’ve lived in a red state all my life. My social circle is made up entirely of progressive people that want nothing more than to see sensible gun control approaches that start with adequate mental health care. I worry everyday my kids go to school that I won’t see them again. I really don’t appreciate you suggesting that I am failing my children by not effectively changing the system I was born into. A system that has been captured by the wealthy and used to hobble the education and information those around me are exposed to in a systemativ approach to maintain, grow, and enforce control. If it’s as easy as you seem to suggest, why would anyone live up under a dictatorship? Enjoy your soap box while I watch my country and the enviroment crumble around me, powerless to stop it thanks to the mass surveilance that surrounds us all everyday.
We’re asking if there’s a reason to think you’ll bother to make the sacrifices necessary to end this insanity before it becomes total tyranny, war and conquest.
You gave us absolutely no reason to think you and other Americans have any intention of doing that. You instead reinforced the case against Americans as weak, completely incapable of taking care of this.
After reading what you have written I am even more certain in expecting Trump’s men to be allowed to rise to full and unchecked power.
I expect most of you to do nothing about it, except weep.
My guess is we’ll see you in 10-20 years, I’m sure it’ll be terrible. I just hope we win again, I’m not sure we will.
But be sure that if the worst happens, you’re not getting any fucking sympathy.

Glad to see you’re in the fight against fascists on the side of the fascists.
You’re entirely wrong in a completely predictable way. Good luck killing them with kindness, wimp.
