    Who cares what gets covered in the European media?

    I’m just telling you, because ->I<- am from Europe and because ->I<- have not heard about any government shutdown plans, only about the “No king” stuff… I can only tell you about what I observe. I don’t watch American media. I thought, that was obvious.

    You are GREATLY underestimating how Sociopathic MAGA is as a fundamental characteristic. They will only respond when THEY feel the pain.

    We have far right AfD here… One of them was recorded saying that it’s good good that our country is doing bad in the short run, so they can take power in the long run. We are all living through the idiotic revolution and it’s unfortunately an international thing.

      Exactly my point. You are telling us to do something, because your media isn’t telling you that we ARE doing something, it’s just something that Europeans have no experience with. So your media shows it from your perspective, and you think we’re doing nothing.

      I’m trying to explain to you, and the many, many other Europeans calling us stupid for not having a General Strike without understanding that 1) It won’t work in America, and 2) We are already doing something that is unique to America, and is a past proven winner in getting the government to respond.

        I’m not calling you stupid btw. I’m calling those stupid who vote against their interests without realizing it.

        something that Europeans have no experience with

        I think, the the newspapers in Europa are capable to understand basic US politics without having to experience that MAGA shitshow themselves and without having the same laws.


        Anyways… Good luck stopping the orange manic, however you do it!
