    No, the Americans need to be consistently reminded of what their government is doing so that there’s at least the slightest chance they’ll put a stop to it. They don’t get to ignore the problem, it’s their job to fix it. They are not babies to be coddled.

      We are. There are protests throughout the country every day that the media is either ignoring, or painting as “riots.”

      I have no clue what to do. I’m American. I’m trans. I voted for Harris. I live in a blue state. I’ve gone to protests. I’ve talked to state senators about legislation. I’ve canvassed. I’ve talked to Trump supporters and tried to get them to change their minds.

      it all feels totally useless. nothing I’ve done has had any effect. my own mom voted for Trump three times. it’s like being chained to an anvil and thrown overboard. I’m swimming but I’m still drowning.

        You do know what to do and you are doing it! It’s not going to magically solve everything but you are doing more than most people.

        Continue doing exactly that and convince others to do the same. It’s a slow process but the only way to fix things.
