You realize, surely, that they chose the government.
Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US?

USAmericans have shown a complete inability to rise up against their government. This is not surprising given our crushing economic system, the fragility of our lives, and cultural landscape of the USA. At this point I believe Resistance has to come from outside the USA. This is unlikely due to the USA’s extensive nuclear arsenal.
I foresee the USA going the way of China and Russia, steadily oppressing its people, enriching its oligarchs, and occasionally creating problems for the world. Greenland may very well be the USA’s version of China constantly threatening to seize Taiwan.

A majority did, actually. Trump voters + non-voters.

The majority couldn’t tell the difference between a cop and a pedophile racist rapist. That’s as tacit an endorsement as you can get.

Not even a little, the US has never been a democracy at all, or a particularly good representative republic

At last China is still capable of building infrastructure for the benefit of its citizens. I’m envious of their high speed rail network.

No time to rebel, too many bills to pay.
