    You have no clue what I’m doing, and I couldn’t be making your argument because you don’t have an argument. You’re just lobbing complaints at a strawman 'Murican with no basis in reality.

    I didn’t say 300 because some people did vote for him and are genuinely locked in their isolation bubble. If you think well over 50% of the population doesn’t count as a crippling general strike, I don’t know what to tell you.

    And having the gall to compare a few hundred people showing up to protest a golf outing to organizing a seismic political shift in a massive country is absurd. It’s the pinnacle of throwing stones in glass houses while the UK meekly accepts digital privacy surveillance and suppression of political speech on Gaza. Where’s your fucking critique of that???

    Apparently just laying out the facts of life in America is making an excuse. Nowhere did I say we should lay down and take it, but you armchair political activists aren’t happy unless you see headlines about car bombs or some shit. God forbid you adjust yourself to the context of reality, just shout loudmouth transatlantic complaints. The lack of self-awareness is incredible, you’ve become your own despised Fox News caricature.

    People aren’t calling you names”, no it’s way worse than that. They’re trying to direct how I should act in my own country about matters that, at best, only tangentially concern them. That’s why you should keep your mouth shut. Worry about how your own damn government is reacting to tariffs and NATO balancing and not how I need to fix my political nightmare for your personal peace of mind.
