You should be active. Every sane American has to spend every available moment thinking what they can personally do to convince one person who is enthralled to the Great Satan (Trump, not America) that this is a total disaster and must be stopped at virtually any cost before not just America, but the world turns into this very dystopian place.
People are so stupid - it's just led me to be antisocial. Unless there's some common moral ground, I can't be friendly to people. And too many people are unable to grasp the very simple points of the article above. I'm sure Pol Pot made a mean Nom Banh Chok but that doesn't make him less of a monster.
One additional point to the article, the dysfunction is a feature not a bug - the more there are government shutdowns or protests against ICE or even, eventually, violence (their wet dream), the more they can justify even more radical policies because "the system" (their system) isn't working.
Those who know me call me apocalyptic, but this doesn't feel like there's a way back without total disaster (civil war or worse) or total defeat (fascist global takeover). We no longer seem at a point where we can talk it out - the loose alliance of global fascists are coming together and have declared war on an unsuspecting world. Of course that's one of the goals, to destroy the UN so there's not even a place to talk it out. "They" don't want you talking, they want you repeating what you've been told to say.
It's exactly the feeling they want, and that I share. Try outrage and open derision of anyone who supports MAGA. You may lose some friends, but you will clarify the situation and draw lines. I no longer support "everyone has opinions" - MAGA are anti-american, anti-democratic, anti-freedom and unwittingly allied with America's worst enemies. Trump is a traitor to the country who deserves to be prosecuted as such - he knows what he's doing, and those who guide him, like Steven Miller the world's only Jewish Nazi (even his congregation expelled him), are even worse. Anyone who supports him has sacrificed their morality for some twisted personal gain (in one way or another). Damn you all to hell, as Charlton Heston would say.
Sorry, the only trash I see is the one making that comment. The data would show that most of your Southern cities lead the crime statistics. Get out of America, you MAGA traitor.
Participating in the fascist coup that is happening in America right now would make you a traitor. And as for making America great, that's the biggest joke in the world - no one but you brainwashed automatons believe that to be the case. America is perceived as a disaster of its own making, a kind of cautionary tale that might yet bring us all down.
ICE hasn't come for you yet - you might want to review history and see how brutal, lawless paramilitaries like these are eventually used. As for your lame data points, I don't know if you're typical MAGA who belittles things like research, science and all of that high brow stuff, but here's a study actually analyzing crime and partisanship. Surprisingly, you're spreading talking points, rather than facts - shocking for a MAGAhead.
So who are the trash? Let me guess, immigrants, minorities, etc. Legal protesters. Anyone who is against you.
I'm tired of behaving like MAGA people are normal. You are not - assuming you personally are generally a "good" person, you reek of the "good" germans who voted for Hitler because they wanted to make Germany great again. The only difference is that it's more forgivable in a way - they didn't know where things would go and didn't have history as a guide. Wake up, before it's too late.
Well I'm glad you have a boogeyman. Once the immigrants are gone, I'm sure they'll find new groups to demonize and persecute. You must not have heard about the last time fascism was allowed to take root - didn't work out so well for the whole world.
Sometimes I feel we will get what we deserve - probably either a new world war or a 1984-ish dystopian future - the amount of stupidity on the planet can not be sustained. BTW the Left has its own idiots - gays for Hamas comes to mind. The difference that the Left largely believes (theoretically) in a better world for everyone, whereas the Right believes in a might makes right world where specific groups (or individuals) thrive and the rest get shit (if they are even left alive).
Just curious - how was America on the verge of destruction? the most powerful country on the planet, leading the world's premier military/diplomatic alliance, hosting all the world's global financial institutions, recovering from COVID without a recession, as had been almost universally predicted, boasting, with historically low unemployment, etc. etc. I realize there were fault lines and stress points but how does this require the fundamental, grotesque warping of our system of government?
Did you see the embarrassing display with Trump the draft dodger threatening their careers if they won't shoot at American citizens on his order? This is America for you?
Geez, should I be Scared?
What do YOU think?

I have reached a saturation point with my anger toward this administration. Feeling powerless sucks.

Portland is a drug riddled cesspool and an embarrassment.
Time to take out the trash.

Making America Great Again would classify me as a traitor?
As for highest crime, the cities are pretty spread out across the map but they do have one thing in common.
All but one is run by Democrats.

I know you're upset that the borders are closed and your illegal aliens are being removed.
I'll gladly take my chances with the big bad wolf aka fascist then watch the left destroy America.

Oof...you are so far down the rabbit hole.
Fascism was an invention of the left and implemented by them. Quit projecting, this administration is not even close to what you are saying.
Remain calm and you too will reap the rewards so try not to panic.
I assure you the sky is not falling.
