I know, it’s always the same responses from Americans:
Everywhere else is bad too!
American exceptionalism never dies - even when the country goes to shit that just means they’re going to shit better and faster than everyone else.
Deflection - vague statements about other countries having an a right wing is irrelevant to how shitty America has become.
Defeatism - “this is a global problem”. No, it’s not. There are many countries that haven’t turned their leaders into Kings with nothing to check their power or prevent them from chasing their every whim. You mentioned Canada, Canada has not invaded a sovereign nation and kidnapped its leader. Canada is not insisting it needs to Annex an allied nation. South Korea is actually holding a political leader accountable for trying to have a coup and taking them to trial. We should just change the logo of America from “Land of the Free” to “Nothing can be done to stop this.”
Why haven’t you / Aren’t you doing something to stop this?
See above - “Nothing can be done to stop this” / “Can’t somebody else to this for us?” Anything to avoid dealing with the actual shitshow they are living in themselves.
FFS, a leader of a supposedly democratic country has invaded another country, is openly talking about annexing another, openly stating human life has no value, and your response to that is “but but Canada has a Conservative party that lost their last election!”
