I’m an American who has been living abroad for 20 years. I’m shocked, as I watch my home country being dismantled by oligarchs who sold US democracy. And I talk to other Americans and they’re just like “Oh, well, both sides, you know?”
Do y’all not realize what you’ve done? The US literally has no allies now, no rule of law, and no democracy. You’re living in an authoritarian dictatorship now, run by clowns.
How are so many Americans just going on with their lives like normal?
It largely depends on the part of the country as well. Here in Western WA, people that I know and work with are generally very aware that we’re screwed. However, we’re a very progressive part of the country. In Utah, where a lot of my family lives, people seem to have their heads in the sand (which is the Utah default, but in this case even more so).
