      And given how chicken shit Americans collectively are he’ll most likely die of old age before facing extralegal responsibility for his crimes.

        I mean there have been 2-3 assassination attempts on Trump, successful assassinations of multiple Democratic politicians, first Trump term Van Spronsen attacked an ICE detention center and just this week the killing of two National Guard members. I don’t think America lacks the will to commit violence, most just lack proper direction.

          The United States is the most populous country in the Americas and the Western Hemisphere, with a projected population of 342,034,432 on July 1, 2025, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.[1] With about 4% of the world’s population, it is the third most populous country.

          2-3 attempts on a fascist causing mass suffering throughout the country and world doesn’t sound like much when put in the context of 340 million people.

          But assassination is the extreme end, even within the realms of legality there has been very little done to stop Trump. I can understand why, from within the Republican party, because his gain is their gain. But from everyone else, Democrat or not? I cannot grasp that.

          Brazil dealt with their dictator problem, South Korea dealt with their dictator problem.

          Why can’t the supposed greatest, free-est, richest, country on the planet, with a supposed constitution and government system set up specifically to prevent tyrants, do it?

          Could it be, America isn’t the country it says it is? Could it be there needs to be a global shift on American exceptionalism? From both within and without the country.
