I think there are plenty of Yanks whose eyes are open, but that’s no longer enough. It will take more than simply being aware of how big a mistake Trump is. We’ll see how the midterms go, but you’re quite right: he will cheat and his allies will cheat, using whatever authoritarian tools they can get their mitts on, and in the end it will take more than just voting for the correct people to get him and his oligarch clique out. What that “more” might involve, I don’t want to speculate here. Sure, I’m a Yank; in the last three presidential elections I voted for Clinton, then Biden, then Harris (though preferring candidates further to the left). I’ve been strongly critical of Trump since 2015. But so what? In the current circumstances, voting for the right people and being vocally critical does not suffice. And simply because of my US citizenship, simply because it’s my compatriots who have put this monster in office on two separate occasions, I feel complicit.
