In a democracy, however flawed it may be, politics are still the result of a large part of the population's will. Which is strongly influenced by propaganda of course, and without much thought of all the consequences that it may have, but still. Protest against these politics can come in many forms, depending on how strongly people are affected by it, never mind how exhausted people think they might be.
Then there's also the military, does anybody here have any insight how they feel about the recent political changes that have been carried through?
I would love to know how military leaders feel about this. I feel in my heart of hearts they would not go against their people but I also realize how naive it is to feel this way. All in all, I guess we'll find out soon. God bless America except for Preaisent Elon and pussy boy Trump
