Nope, we haven’t been asked at all, but Hitler didn’t ask Germany if they wanted to take over the world before he tried either. Just because I’m against what my country is doing doesn’t exempt me from the deserved hatred the rest of the world must feel towards us.

Hell, there’s a nonzero chance that the last election was completely rigged, Trump didn’t win a damn thing, and he was simply installed to do this grizzly work by the rich men who want to own everything. We don’t have a mechanism in place to reel the bastards in. Militarization on our own soil has begun to squash resistance, they’ve just decorated it as immigration control. Shit, our cops have had armored vehicles and such for decades.

I’m not convinced it’s hopeless, but only because I’ve read too many books where the “good guys” win. A third of my country has never read a book voluntarily. Here we are.
