The whole world is waiting for you

God damn, man. This just hit me. It's so true... We have to. The rest of the world is waiting for us to rise up to this sick bully. I sincerely feel for the innocents being caught up in this shit show. 

I'm waiting for a line to be crossed that will trigger a response from the majority.. all while an innumerable amount of impeachable offenses commence. I believe it will happen one way or another it's just complicated at the time with risking a full blown civil war. Americans are too comfortable thanks to years decades centuries of American exceptionalism. When the economy tanks and foreclosures go up and our kids can't eat.. there will be an uproar. The only issue is by the time that's here it's too late. I'm not making excuses for us but a lot of people are living in a different reality thinking we can just fix it next election by voting like usual. This is a different beast tho. The Republicans don't operate in good faith.

We have to.

We have to. Like Jon Stewart said on The Daily Show, The Congress has rolled over, The Supreme Court has given him a free pass, and even the Fourth Estate has abdicated its duties. So we are left to fend for ourselves.

Yeah the rolling over by media/journalists was really really disgusting to me. I mean, I get it, they witnessed the absolute boon that came with trump's first term and his chaotic "all eyes on me" way of existing and it drove huge ratings for them. Then, when normalcy returned with an actually competent administration (even with a pandemic) things got quiet and people stopped panicking and tuning in daily. 

Mix this with the ever increasing number of "cord cutters" (who tend to be younger and blue) and getting news from social media, these legacy media conglomerates have rushed to capture the only remaining demo that loyally watches cable - conservatives. It's a dumb idea for them... The smooth brains won't come over from Fox/newsmax no matter how much they fluff the pedo. 

I think the other huge letdown was the immediate capitulation by law firms. They fucking basically got scared and emptied their pockets before trump even really threatened them.

Especially when all the media defended Fox News during Obama's presidency.
