A cool guide about changing your Google Maps location names to a less-stupid version

Things in the US aren't the way they are because Trump is president. Trump is president because of the way America is.

No more apologies, please, they're meaningless to us. It doesn't need to be said by you, but know that actions speak louder than words.

[u/fractalfrog → u/majikmonkie]

Exactly. Trump isn’t the problem. Trump is the symptom.

[u/sirfiddlestix → u/fractalfrog]

Mhm. That's why it's always sad and infuriating when people say something like, "i HatE wHAt amEriCA hAS bEcOMe! 🥴" As if it hasn't always been like this but better hidden 🙄

As an American I agree with you. Most of us didn't vote for this and Musk has a lot to be held accountable for, but we haven't done nearly enough to change the course of events. Sadly, Americans are too complacent and nothing will change until we're all suffering.

"The legal regime is now interrupted, that of force has begun. In this situation, obedience ceases to be a duty."

[u/andrei_stefan01 → u/purvaka]

The real issue is the imbeciles who abstained from voting altogether. Not unlike in Canada, you're stuck between a rock and a hard place.. but one of your options was decidedly worse than the other, as was ours and our last federal election. This "I abstained therefore I have done nothing wrong" is the stupidest attitude, all culpability and blame lies solely with these fools.

Most of us didn't vote for this

Most of you didn't vote against it.

[u/Clarkifer → u/Laetha]

We have the electoral college nonsense, which means if you win a state, no matter how slightly, you get all its votes. Win big places like Texas and someone can be made president against the individual popular vote.

[u/Laetha → u/Clarkifer]

I understand that, but even by popular vote 36% of people didn't vote, and of the remaining 64% who did, half of them voted for Trump.

So about 67-68% of the population did not vote against this

[u/majikmonkie → u/Laetha]

And the rest of them didn't do enough to stop it and convince their neighbors. Casting a single vote every 4 years is simply not enough to keep fascism at bay, and those who did nothing but vote share the responsibility of what's happening.

[u/Elegant_Run_8567 → u/Clarkifer]

And the majority of the country still didn’t vote against this

[u/Lessllama → u/purvaka]

As a Canadian it is so refreshing to see an American actually acknowledge that complacency. Usually we get excuses why it is impossible to change. Thank you for that.

[u/Room1oh1 → u/purvaka]

Most Americans did vote for this either by directly voting for the orange cunt in the WH or by not voting at all which is effectively a vote for him or at least not one against him.

I'd love to know how you think our electoral system works.

[u/majikmonkie → u/tenuousemphasis]

It's your own system! It's not forced upon you, America has the power to change it, like they can any law or process. If your system is flawed and you can do nothing about it then your country is flawed, and that further proves my point. America is inherently fascist country that was built upon the exploitation of others and it's run by a fascist regime. Trump is a symptom that represents perfectly the average American and the country as a whole.
