I am a new grad and I’m really struggling to find work and I just want to get something off my chest.
I really resent the man in the white house, I know that these things are complicated and you can’t ever pin down every problem to a single cause, but as a non-american the effect of tariffs, uncertainty in fuel prices, not to mention the literal defunding of huge research institutions forcing Americans to look for work elsewhere applying even more pressure are all direct consequences of his actions.
I know that this is likely a sentiment that is echoed across this subreddit, but the thing that I want to say that’s maybe controversial is that I think there isn’t enough being done at all. How can he still have an approval rating at all, where is his support coming from. It’s just unbelievable to me that literal chaos is erupting all over the world and people are still behind him. I feel so powerless to affect him materially from outside the US, it honestly feels like a single American in his cult has more effect in one vote than anything I can say or do.
I wonder what we can do to materially sway the outcome of American politics as outsiders, because I feel like we have to do something right?
