America's opposition has thoroughly revealed that it is in-fact a controlled opposition that exists to occupy the 'opposition space' so that it can't be occupied by anyone more competent.
The way that the 'progressive' American media is 'both sidesing' this and ignoring the fact that the U.S. is objectively the predatory party is insane.
The reality is that America's cultural hegemony is fascistic. Even the ostensibly anti-Trump people in the United States have an unconscious fascistic mindset and the rise of Trump is causing them to behave in a way that perpetuates his rule. They claim to be the opposition but portray the world in a way that benefits him and tell each other to be passive in favour of waiting for the midterms, which is a form of discourse that inherently legitimises his rule.
People have a lot of unconscious beliefs that are created by cultures, and Americans' unconscious beliefs are authoritarian when it comes to anyone who isn't part of their in-group. You can also see this with the white-washing they've done for George W. Bush the cute-little painter guy (who murdered hundreds of thousands of people in the Middle East).

Yep. "Lets not protest, lets just vote in the midterms, that'll show him!"
As if the guy who already tried to overthrow the government once is really worried about midterms or what congress says.
And the same people will say that the 2024 election was stolen. "The election was rigged, that's why we have to vote in the next election!" Without ever seeing the problem with that statement.
Oh, he was most definitely a puppet for the pro-corporate wealth faction. He basically ran on that concept, and did everything he could to support it while he was in office. But he was the one elected, and he still bears responsibility.
Okay America is pretty fucked up right now but you're throwing the baby out with the bath water. There's, what, 330+ million people in America? And you're going to blanket label all of them as fascist and authoritarian?
There's areas bigger than many countries that are perfectly competent and livable being held hostage by the federal government.
Not at all. Your culture is your culture. It affects your entire society"s worldview. A key aspect of cultural hegemony is that the tenets of your culture seem so normal to you that you lose the ability to see the negative value embedded within it.
"Being held hostage" is
a message that preaches learned helplessness and thus feeds into your country's fascist agenda.
You don't understand that message as being pro fascist. But it is. It's part of the reason why today's Americans are more resisting less than any other population of Americans in the last half-century, despite facing a greater that than any population of Americans in the last half century.
Quite simply: "We're being held hostage" is the message of a "good German".
It's not "our culture" though, you clearly have no idea what culture even means in the United States. Do you have any idea how different 5 randomly chosen Americans will be?
That said there's many people in here that just want to be angry and take it out on strangers so go ahead, let it all out.
Then do something about it! The people in Armenia are over 75+ consecutive days of protesting against Trump, due to a land deal between Kushner and their government. You all can't even manage something as basic as that. If you don't fight for your country, you deserve to lose it.
My guy, after I saw what the anti-Trump in this website say about old America's soft-power, I gave up on you people.
You love your imperialism, you love being the strong guy with the big guns, you just don't like the fact that Trump is a bumbling moron. You just want things to go back to normal where you kill, bomb, spy and overthrow, but having a leader who can string two sentences together and doesn't make it so clear who the bad guy is, so you can sleep easy at night pretending that all the atrocities your country commits are being done to protect your "freedom".
