Do Americans really want this crap? I can’t believe that we don’t hold our governments accountable.
One thing that makes this all difficult is the size and fragmentation of America. American states are the size of European countries and separated by subculture and geography. Organizing a state to hold its state government accountable might be doable in some states, but holding the federal government accountable is fifty times harder at least. Then there’s coordinating messaging and organizing across states. I’m not saying it can’t be done, but it’s no small feat. The will of the American people moves in slower, more inexorable tides.
How does an American hold their government accountable? They vote but what can be done between elections?
Tbh join a couple organizations that address things you care about and they will give you plenty to do e.g. write/call your representative, participate in X community outreach event, donate to Y cause etc.
it shouldn’t be different from everywhere else
If I see ICE in my neighborhood I’ll have my camera out and my pew pew in my belt
racist Americans voted for it, but are finding out how much it sucks. the majority of America never wanted any of this
With voter turn outs like that most didn’t know or care.
Reminder that the flock cameras are easily hacked and ICE are as comically insufficient as their are unnecessary.
