Question for Americans. How much are you guys going to put up with before you start protesting the insanity?

People are protesting. They're also voting. A judicial election in Wisconsin drew almost as many voters as a typical midterm election - almost unheard of for a wonky special election. There were several yesterday, and the Democratic candidates either won outright, or did much better than expected, even in deep-red areas in Florida, like Matt Gaetz' old district.

Right now, no one is standing up to Trump except a few governors and judges. The Democrats in Congress can't do anything except talk, and the Republicans are, for the most part, terrified that Musk will fund a primary challenger. However, one electin that Musk poured millions into went for the other candidate, proving that he's not a kingmaker.

As Trump's popularity declines, and lawmakers realize that they can oppose him without any consequences, we're going to see more pushback. It's only been a few months since the inauguration, but it feels longer because of the blizzard of shit the administration spews on a daily basis - invading Greenland, annexing Canada, tariffs for everyone, trans kids - by the time you address one thing, a dozen more things have happened.

Trump's administration this time is also stocked with incompetents, whose only qualification was their total loyalty to him. One result of that was the recent Whiskeyleaks (or Signalgate) scandal. Right now, our remaining allies must be having second thoughts about sharing any sensitive intel with these clowns.
