Honestly, I can’t believe it’s taken this long for Americans to start rioting. Just the fact your entire life can be upended by illness should be enough to make society break out in a rage.
America is a big land. Our peoples aren’t condensed into relatively small territories like how citizens of European countries are. That makes it hard for national unity and focus to be obtained, and our politicians are often far away from consequences.
It is a big pot that is slow to boil. Hopefully, it will explode and turn the Trump Regime into steamed lobsters.
I’m in Australia so I can definitely relate to a lot of that!
I think populists have been extremely clever to conflate historical issues relating to poverty and rural areas with trending topics like immigration and “wealthy inner city elites”.
Ironically, it’s the people like Trump and other right wingers who are most likely to create poor outcomes for the worst off among their own followers, but as long as those people are fuelled by rage, bigotry and a carefully constructed narrative they will remain none the wiser.
