How are you not more outraged?
“I don't know, guys. Maybe I got it wrong. Right? Maybe I don't know what it means to be a real American, and you guys can help me out. But, like, how do you call yourself an American and you're not more outraged at the attack on your constitutional rights?
You're not outraged that civil rights and women's rights are currently regressing in The United States. You guys call yourself freedom-fighting, veteran-loving, hardworking Americans. Your grandparents fought Nazis, but you're not the slightest bit outraged that some ketamine-sniffing space nerd is Sieg Heiling at the presidential inauguration. We're Americans. We used to bully the bullies.
None of you guys are outraged that our president is funding a genocide against Palestinian children so we can have access to prime real estate. None of you guys are outraged enough at the attack on the working class. I mean, for Christ's sake, the abolishment of veteran affairs, the proposed budget cuts to Medicaid, the Department of Education being completely obliterated and defunded, firing of federal employees, the abolishment of employee rights. They are defunding EEOC, OSHA, the Department of Labor, the Department of Human Rights, and the unions that protect you. All so the oligarch can work you harder, charge you more, and pay you less because hoarding 99% of American wealth wasn't enough.
They want the 1% that we have left. Right? How are you not outraged that a shittily-built cyber truck is more federally protected than your children in school or that our president is selling actual human beings into El Salvadorian slavery. You don't have access to free health care or or food that doesn't create a need for health care that they overcharge you for, but your tax dollars go to his golf trips in Mar-A-Lago so he can attend the Daytona 500 and the Super Bowl. JD Vance will hop on stage and tell you “America needs more babies” while doing fuck-all to educate the ones we have or stop them from becoming victims of mass and school shootings.
This has gotta be a joke. Like, no. Like, I'm -- I'm -- I'm really struggling with this. I don't I don't get it. Our president is committing crimes against humanity, war crimes, treason against America, and acts of sedition, and y'all ain't even outraged.
Where's the call to action? You know, in Serbia, they had an 800,000 person protest over 15 dead citizens. Georgia and Greece are in an open revolution against greedy politicians. Germany is protesting every day to stop an alt-right uprising. Ukraine is in an all-out war with Russia to protect Europe and the rest of the world from Putin.
And, South Africa is dismantling hundreds of years of colonizers. But what are Americans doing? We've got Democrats being performative at best and Americans boycotting Amazon for one day. For one day! You guys better put a little fucking pep in your step.
The end of America isn't coming. It's here. And if y'all don't -- if y'all don't get a little more outraged, you're gonna spend the rest of your life being a fucking slave.”
