The idea that Americans might have to do something to fix their country? Unthinkable, clearly a joke. Good luck.

Which American are you?

  1. “We can’t fight back because then the Nazis will take the opportunity to punish us harder”

  2. “it’s not as EASY as you seem to think”

  3. “Yeah, well what have YOU done??”

  4. “Did you not see the VERY effective and not-at-all-a-huge-joke No Kings protests?”

  5. “Keyboard warrior!”

  6. “I can’t have principles, I might lose the shitty job I hate!”

  7. “I believe that every historical revolutionary to whom I owe my prosperity was a Disney character with no family or livelihood at stake and who never really had to risk anything because in my child-brain their victory was guaranteed.”****

    The US in the 90s was 500% more woke than today.

    Not in terms of policy, perhaps, but in terms of outlook and spirit. That progress would happen was never in question- only how long it would take. Backsliding into Nazi shit was not a possibility. American democrats today routinely say things that would have gotten republicans crucified in the 90s.

    To everyone ready to tell me how much worse things were in the 90s- yes, I know- I was a foreigner living in the US during more than half of that decade.

    The difference is that the promise of America was still alive then and even those of us who weren’t in the “in group” knew a better world was right around the corner- that shit is dead and buried now.
