    Who else is supposed to do something about the USA? Surely nobody here wants a full on war? So change HAS to come from within.

        Yeah, being realistic here, no country on earth can successfully invade the US. Change from within is pretty much the only option. If the American people are fine with the currently state of affairs then not much the rest of the world can do.

          Most of them aren’t fine with the status quo, but they’re too poor and distracted to really do anything. We’re really good at the whole bread and circus thing.

          The ones with money and means are too busy making more money than they ever have in their entire lives to care.

            Not just poor or distracted… Is a fascist state, fear and police control are real. You want to accidentally be mistaken for an immigrant and sent to Honduras? How about jail for 5 years for throwing a firecracker at a protest because it’s “terrorism”?

          … he says in a comment thread pointing out that the rest of the world can sell their US Debt to bring the regime to it’s knees. true wars between world powers don’t involve armed resistance (and the world is at war with the US whether they like it or not at this stage)

          If no country on earth can invade the US and the US has already been protesting and demonstraing at record turnout what exactly do you expect citizens to be able to do that a financed and organized military cannot?

          Italy was also part of the Axis powers, there was a lot of external pressure on that country by the Allies. There is none on the USA. Also hasn’t there been three assassination attempts on Trump ‘from within’, Id hardly say he hasn’t gotten lucky.

      Let’s see: I can throw away my childrens’ mental health and futures by trying to orchestrate a group of individualistic man-children who can’t even be bothered to boycott voluntarily then getting ICE’ed before anything takes shape, or my neighbors that are service members can uphold their oath, or the international community can ACTUALLY unite against this regime by selling their US Debt…

      I know which option I won’t be taking at this stage - like it or not, we’re in this together and your govts have the leverage to end this shit - economy is the one true religion
