    Oh blow it out your ass.

    I’m so sick of sanctimonious Europeans condescending on situations they have little understanding over. Sorry I’m not going to die bum rushing the oval office and leave my son homeless and hungry to make some ignorant European feel better.

    Fuck you. You’ve all been cheering on my suffering while I worked to fix this place. Fuck you guys. Fuck the Fascists. This is between you two now. Neither of you were ever on my side. I’m never lifting my finger for a European/Canadian again. You assholes can handle it yourself. I wish the Jews you guys committed a genocide against had just protested a bit harder, huh?

      So you hear “show up to protest” and you think “violently attack the white house”?

      Again, look at the pictures. You have 100 people standing like they’re social distancing on a small portion of a square versus whole city blocks jam packed of people shoulder to shoulder. I’m sure Portland of San Francisco have more than 100 people, even more than 100 non-Republicans.

        There’s more than 100 people at those protests. I’m not even going to signify your bullshit with a full response.

          Definitely under a thousand. Look at the one in New York City. Look at the one in Belgrade.

          New York City has a larger population not than Belgrade, but the whole fucking country of Serbia. The metro area of NYC has more than TRIPLE the population of Serbia.

          Americans just don’t care (best case) or support (worst case) what’s happening.

      Buddy, I am American. This shit is pathetic. I’m tired of pretending that less than 1000 people standing on a street corner is a good protest. The turnout has been embarrassingly bad, and the internet’s take that it’s because working Americans don’t want to risk their jobs completely discounts the feeling of utter defeat many are feeling. There is just no motivation to protest anymore, it’s been shown to be as ineffective as calling or writing to your senator. You know they aren’t going to see it, and if you receive anything back, it will be a canned, generic response that doesn’t even acknowledge your message.

      I’m not upset with people for not turning out. I fully understand why they don’t. I just wish we’d stop pretending these protests are the start of some new movement, when all signs point to them being the last gasps of a dying resistance. Think that’s too doom and gloom? Well, unfortunately, that is our reality.

        The protests are pointless. 100% of every protest since the orange guy took office has been nothing more than slactivism.

        We need a leader to rally behind, but the Dems are bending the knee.

        I’m also done with the Euro trash that keeps shitting on me while I’m trying to fix the issues. I’m not doing this for them. When this is over I am absolutely done with any amount of “The West” that isn’t my family or my neighbors.

        I didn’t need backup after 9/11. The invasion was illegal and no one should have taken part. Now that I need help for the first time from my friends I’m getting knives in the back instead. I don’t care what the US has done to you. I don’t want to be here either. I’ve worked my whole life to flip the districts by me, and I did it successfully. After 17 years of work we flipped it purple and then blue. I canvassed. I volunteer. I was a fucking Paige when I was a kid. And some mouth breathing Welshman wants to complain that I haven’t done enough. Fuck them. I had guns pointed at me when we protested the war in the 2000s. There are few people that have done more than me and a fistful of volunteers to flip this area.

        I am done after all this though. I’ll care about my family and my immediate community. Europe can get fucked. Canada can get fucked. Democrats can get fucked. Republicans can get fucked. You all deserve each other. I’ve seen enough people wishing death or misfortune on my children because of something a leader of a country I have no control over said something mean to them. Civility is dead. I’m done.
