it looks like from an outside perspective as if you're just letting him do whatever he wants without much resistance.

Getting real tired of European criticism of things they know nothing about. We aren't offering little resistance, we are following our laws. Europeans want to see us engage in a devastating Civil War that will probably draw them in, just for their own sick entertainment, and they are really irritated that we aren't listening to their demands.

We have a nation of laws, with a Constitution, and we still have a few major legal cards to play before we throw it all away and embark on the absolute worst case scenario. We have a Midterm election in November, which will make a huge difference, and a Presidential election in 2028 that could turn everything around. We could get through all of this with those elections alone, and not have to kill thousands of our fellow citizens. We Americans have concluded that we'd rather do that than some pointless, unorganized, flailing "revolution" that will only result in a MAGA victory that makes them stronger and meaner, and leaves the world in a worse place for it.

In the meantime, as we wait for our elections, we are mounting successful court challenges to many policies. We are having special elections that have already flipped 30 seats from Republican to Democrat in statehouses across the nation. We are having regular national protests that get bigger each time. The last one was 9 million, topping the previous record of 7 million for the last one. People have formed fast reaction cells, and they show up and aggravate ICE whenever they show up.

And of course, we have shut down the government, and denied ICE their funding. We had shut down more of the government, and could have shut down the entire thing, but we're playing nice this time, but they know we can still shut it down, like we did last fall (which still be shut down, but for our weak Democratic leaders).

We are just biding our time until the Midterms, when we can serve up the bloodbath that is coming, and in the meantime we are resisting them every day in every way we can. Our recalcitrance, and refusal to bow to their will is making them crazier than normal. They want to revel in their victories, receive accolades from the citizens, and frighten the rest of the world, and none of it is working. Nobody is intimidated, and EVERYBODY keeps fighting back. Their celebrations are constantly quashed, and their victories reframed as atrocities, with calls for justice.

And we're ratcheting up the pressure every day, until we reach the Midterms, when the Democrats will take control of both legislative houses, both of which have investigative committees with subpoena and arrest powers. That is, provided they replace their current leadership with strong people who will do the job the American people want them to do.

You know what would be more satisfying that watching our fellow citizens die against our own military? Watching those MAGA psychopaths squirm in their chairs as their struggle with perjury to save their corrupt, treasonous, pedophile, criminal asses, then impeaching them, and throwing them in the dungeon.

If Europeans want to resist right-wing authoritarianism, they should be dealing with their own countries, because every single one of them is under pressure from the same forces. They are where we were 10 years ago. America is the canary in the coalmine. They should quit worrying about America, and worry about themselves.
