I am sick of people who have decided to stop paying attention.

[milestogo]

They don't like what's going on, but its not their problem.

They think it will all go away after the next election or two. They aren't worried about their children or grandchildren growing up in a fascist state.

"There's nothing to be done, so why worry? And please don't bring up the subject again. It's unpleasant and kind of rude."

1. Collapse of American civic duty.

Lazy, entitled, spoiled people.
Do they deserve to live in a democracy?

[WmChris]

2. They may not

While they don't give a shit the rest of us get sold down the river.

[Irish_Dem]

4. Right they sold out our country to Putin.

[elocs]

8. Last year, why didn't Democrats and Liberals turn out to vote for Harris in record numbers

like it was our duty? We were complacent and not vigilant.
Yes, lazy, entitled, and spoiled about covers it.

[Irish_Dem]

9. Yes most Americans take it all for granted.

They know nothing else but living in a democracy.
Free people.
Stable economy.

Now they may indeed lose it all.

3. Yes, willfully ignorant is much worse than just plain stupid.

I have both in my family & the willfully ignorant are the ones I'm most pissed at. College-educated professionals who always live in blue states but whine all the time about how awful dems are at the economy & foreign policy. Claimed they didn't know about Trump's bankruptcies before voting for him the first time. Frankly, I'd be embarrassed to admit that. At one point I thought of them as deluded conservatives but they are three-time Trump voters now, so that makes them full-on cult. ~insert flip-the-bird emoji here

5. We all failed at paying attention for the last 8 years. We were not vigilant, thinking everything

would remain just as it has for years. We became complacent with that attitude, taking our democracy for granted. What has happened in the past 3 months has been planned for years. We even underestimated the maga cult crowd as being just a bunch of dumb asses.
There is no guarantee that there will be elections in either '26 or '28.
So the line for those not paying attention is long and Trump likes it that way.

18. I agree what is happening

has been planned for a very long time, probably since FDR. Some of us have been paying attention, but not enough of us. Too much distraction from social media.

[edhopper]

6. What's more

Too many were that way before the election and voted for Trump on a "feeling".

[Demovictory9]

7. There is much to be done. Whip GOP in every election from now to eternity

[Evolve Dammit]

10. same. No excuses unless you're ok with dictatorship. How so many are willfully ignorant is beyond me. n/t

[milestogo]

11. They want someone else to fix it while they focus on more pleasant things.

[Evolve Dammit]

14. Right. But who? They have all branches of Government. So naive. This is on the 10 million that sat this one out.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

17. Exactly

They are twiddling thier thumbs and navel gazing while America is being razed to the ground.

[bdamomma]

12. Those who

are in denial or flagging the white flag of surrender are in for a shock. Just being subservient to fascism, sickening.



Big protests tomorrow 19th April. 2025 across the US.

[Joinfortmill]

13. Like the good Germans.

[milestogo]

15. Exactly like that.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

16. The nonchalant drive me up a wall

None of us can afford to pretend this shit isn’t happening and it isn’t serious as a heart attack.

The people who blithely say” oh, I don’t watch the news it messes up my vibe” or “what can lil ‘ol me do about it “I just want to punch in the face as hard as I can.
