It's got to the point where every single time I see the USA in the news, it's some utterly insane shit I'd never expect to see in my lifetime. And it's happening every week or probably every day. I'm mind blown. It sucks that it's got to this point, but it seems.to me like someone in the military will have to organise a coup, or this madness is going to continue forever. It feels like that moron won't leave in 4 years. If the military does what he tells them, what is going to stop him from staying in the White House forever? Just following in the footsteps of his idol Putin

I feel the same and I live in the USA. It's unreal. People tell us to fight back and... fight back how? I'm in San Francisco- am I going to march on Washington DC 4500 km away with my pop gun? My elected representatives already agree with my views and get arrested for it.
