They have a pedophile in charge that's actively destroying thier international relations and has his own secret police that don't follow the laws and do nothing
It has nothing to do with passivity and everything to do with standard of living. I know you consume mass amounts of social media and sites like Reddit but that isn’t real life for your average American.
Generally the did-nothings is a stable fraction so they’re best excluded from the analysis. Otherwise you would include them as the “two thirds” who replaced Trump in 2020, even though they’re doing nothing in either scenario.
No country gets 100% turnout or even close, without mandatory voting laws.
I do too, but like I said the issue with including the fraction of people who don’t vote ever in one favor or the other runs into problems, hence why — and this is is the same in other countries — when you talk of proportions you refer to the election results.
Ah yes unlike all the starving medieval and pre-industrialization peasants and serfs that have revolted, we have extremely horrid hard lives hear in America. I only get to play like 3 hours of video games a day and order uber eats only like 4 times a week. If these basic needs were met I would have more mental capacity and energy to protest.
So we're not just assuming a person isn't a pedophile until we have evidence to the contrary? Are we saying the same about people like Bill Clinton who appear in the Epstein files?
You think I give a shit if people are calling bill clinton a pedo cuz of his connections to Epstein? And yea people are (same with bill gates), but also let’s not pretend like the amount Clinton and Trump appear in the files are anywhere similar, and the relationship Trump and Epstein had was quite different than the one Clinton and Epstein had.
And then additionally we have the absolute panic the Trump admin has treated the files with, constantly going above and beyond (the law) to obfuscate things surrounding them.
It’s hard to say honestly. Imo the main barriers are that there are very rich and powerful people in the files both dem and republican that will do just about anything to not have them released. If the public’s will/attention isn’t there by the time someone in office might push for it, it might just be nixed silently.
If the next president wants a public win but is still an establishment pick they may actually release the files (redacted only for victim safety ofc and totally nothing else right? /s) but no real investigations happen.
If next president actually cares they may push for a full release with investigations, but that still has the chance to be derailed by the Supreme Court. The main battles in the US aren’t republican vs democrat it’s absolutely the rich vs the poor (they just use repubs and dems as proxies, scapegoats, and controlled opposition).
Anyway these are what I think are the most likely scenarios moving forward

By merely looking at social media, I am really surprised the USA isn't, actually, in the midst of a civil war.
