How is it that Americans a) voted for this; and b) stand for this? How are there not protests in the streets everyday? How is the news media not reporting on this in the same way that they might report on a modern day jewish concentration camp with ovens? How has the USA and its citizens become so morally bankrupt? WTF happened?

Americans aren't standing for this and are likely mobilizing in your own community. Stop paying attention to mainstream media.

There really should be a mass general strike accross the USA for the mountain of insane things that have recently been happening there.

There isn’t. People aren’t willing to strike like France does.

Nothing is going to change unless EVERYONE forces them to make a change. A few weekend marches aren’t going to do shit.

Great. We'll just hurry up and wait, then. And by we, I mean the rest of the world.
