My point is that US citizens could remove their criminal president, but they don’t do so despite all his criminal machinations and despite the most serious war crimes.

Unfortunately, I don’t see it that way. I’ve found time and again that even US citizens in the Fediverse tend to display a massive amount of completely misplaced, naive national pride.

It seems to me that even those here, due to the oligarchy in the US that controls the media, are massively misinformed or uninformed despite their flirtation with free media.

Added to this is decades of propaganda that Americans apparently cannot overcome even here.

The best example is this post: Instead of the all-too-necessary self-criticism, there are only excuses - even though the U.S. president is a pedophile and a serious criminal. Nevertheless, U.S. citizens act as if that were not the reality.

Thank you very much. That’s basically what I’m getting at: there’s hardly any difference left between the US and Russia - both countries are controlled by oligarchs. But somehow, on the international stage, it’s portrayed as if only Russia were controlled by greedy autocrats.

However, since the mechanisms of control in the US are still far less pronounced than in Russia, I thought it would be a good idea to remind US citizens that they don’t yet live in a dictatorship, that they could still turn things around for the better if they would only give up their apathy and finally take action.

In Russia, it’s completely different. And in the US, it will soon be the same if citizens don’t fight back.
