And nothing will be done about it.

This is what I find frustrating with Americans … their country is literally burning down and not enough of them can be bothered to do anything about it.

They believe they can wait until the last possible minute of failure and like some Hollywood movie, they’ll save everything at the last possible moment when things are at their darkest and save everything.

It isn’t a Hollywood movie … if no one does anything now or soon … everything will be lost and no one will save it at the last moment

This is what I find frustrating with Americans … their country is literally burning down and not enough of them can be bothered to do anything about it.

I got yelled down by a Canadian here on Lemmy yesterday (in much less kind language) that my protesting here in the USA is useless.

Canadian here. Prove all us naysayers wrong! (I’m pessimistic on America’s future but I’m willing to believe there’s a chance for change)

Keep going, Apr 19th, every day of action after, escalate until the country is yours again, instead of just for the billionaires, by the billionaires. Then let’s talk.

And in the meantime all you people will just bitch and moan about Americans but do nothing to help but that bitching and that moaning. What are you trying to prove? That you’ve never helped anyone before? Or you’re not willing to now? I don’t think this sounds as good as you all think.

We’re very helpfully and politely reminding you that we’re your friends who spend money at your attractions and your best customers that bought your stuff, by refusing to travel and buy American for now. The booking level drops and car travel drops of 70% shows Canadians banding together and acting en masse. I am out protesting too with my fellow Canadian in front of Tesla, in front of consulates and embassies, in front of city and provincial legislative buildings, and we’re poised to elect someone taking a strong but measured response against Trump rather than MAGA-mini.

Your president is hurting us as Canadians, and your president is hurting you as Americans. This requires action on both our parts, but on different levels since this is an American problem. It seems like the first challenge is getting the public at large to acknowledge that this is a problem. I think the rallies across the nation are a good first step. Keep going and the next steps to action will come as you organize. (Perhaps a general strike?)

Canadians talk a lot of shit for people who were about to elect a crazy right wing populist in a landslide and only changed their minds because our crazy right wing populist threatened annexation.
