A country != the population, especially under dictatorship

I don't agree. They elected this fool AGAIN, I don't care for the American people as a whole at this point. They're also very unlikely to stand up and protect Transgender people who now, quite literally, have a target on their backs.

Fuck em. I'll never trust an american again.

The United States population democratically elected Donald Trump less than a year ago. Only 30% opposed his election.

At best, you are arguing that 70% of a population does not equal a population.

But let’s move beyond the election.

The US is not yet a dictatorship. That said, the administration is pushing it closer to that point every day. The population still has the power to stop that. What are they doing wield that power? Not much.

I am afraid we disagree strongly on how accountable we need to hold “the population”. They are at best complicit and at worst collaborators. Either way, they should not be defended.

Seems low. Where I live it's probably closer to 90-95%

American here and I agree.

Even within the borders of this asylum, the "6 in 10 don't trust the US and/or the average American" feels like it would be in the ballpark for the locals. For the people living next to this shit, yeah more like your numbers.

Every American is the enemy. Unless they deal.with their leader.
