Like, don't tell me that Americans aren't a bunch of bootlickers - this SHOULD be the end of the Trump presidency right here. This is a billion dollar temper tantrum being thrown by President Oil that will harm Americans for no reason other than oil companies own Trump. This is literally Trump billing America for a billlion bucks cause he feels a way and he's corrupt as fuck. Buddy just pissing right in the country's whole face and folks SMILING at him like it's real.

I feel like a lot of this goes back to these weird sentiments that:

A. If they lick the boot once, this will show they are compliant and therefore not targets (lmfao, no.)

B. Compliance with the king is easier than making genuine change.

C. It can't get much worse, right?

D. Only three more years then it'll go back to normal.

E. They're "not political."

Now that I've started the list of all the trash I've heard, it's just that making excuses is all faster and easier than lifting a finger or disrupting their norm. Weak bullshit from weak people, afraid to disrupt their day until it's too late. Then it's easier to cry about what they've lost.
