Of course he is. The people at risk aren’t trump, or anyone that risks anything for trump or his family.
If Trump could press a button that would kill 10 million people, maim another 5 million, and make 50 million people go from middle class to abject poverty, in order to give him 10 billion $ and more power, he’d press that button without hesitation.
Total no brainer for him. And Americans are just letting get away with destroying democracy and destroying their freedom, and way of life, so HE can have more.
They seem upset, complain on social media, but do nothing. Not even boycotting. They just sit in their echo chambers. They dont organize. They don’t protest on congress’ front lawn, they hardly boycott, even after seeing it work for Kimmel.
The citizens of america are failing the world.
Being politically active is so much more than just voting. So many options to do more. You can write to your representatives or call them. You can donate to NGOs fighting for what you believe in. You can be vocal in your opinion on the internet or towards colleagues, friends and family. You can take part in demonstrations or even organise. And a lot of other options.
The mentality of “I vote, what more can I do” is so defeatist and a huge part of the reason why the political right wing can do what they do.
