I’m an American who has been living abroad for 20 years. I’m shocked, as I watch my home country being dismantled by oligarchs who sold US democracy. And I talk to other Americans and they’re just like “Oh, well, both sides, you know?”

Do y’all not realize what you’ve done? The US literally has no allies now, no rule of law, and no democracy. You’re living in an authoritarian dictatorship now, run by clowns.

How are so many Americans just going on with their lives like normal?

    Calm down. The USA is not by any measure an “authoritarian dictatorship” with “no rule of law”. Not yet. Instead of wailing histrionics like this, Americans would do better to roll up their sleeves and do something to stop the slide.

    Make sure your representatives know what you think. Get involved in local politics. Protest. Its precisely because your country is not an authoritarian dictatorship that you (still) have so many options.
