The following is mostly a reply I gave in someone else's thread. I wanted to share it without risking the other threadfolk getting backlash.

Concerning whether or not US-Americans know and/or care that yesterday could easily have been the start of WWIII/a global nuclear event:

A lot of us care and are aware. Enough that we were checking the news every few mins yesterday & dreading the approach of 8pm EST.

Please don't paint all US-Americans with the same brush of dismissive judgment....

@courtcan The felon has put a spotlight on the flaws in our system of government, as well as our economic & education systems. Deconstructing a failing empire in such a way that we can repurpose the pieces for a sustainable future is beyond a moon shot. With fully a third of the pop. wearing dark glasses to avoid the glare, the task will require outside assistance.
Pain is the way a body tells us to stop doing something harmful. We will feel the pain, all of us. The earth is all of us.
