Is it wrong to be against my own country any more? Kind of feel like I am the only one who wants to start a revolution to stop our DIC (douche in charge)?
I'm no psychologist, but I'd say there's too much yet to lose. People aren't going to blow up their lives over the slow boil until there's no food left. It happened to the French when they marched for bread.
It would be wrong to not feel that way at this point. Just be patient. Prepare. Plot. If anything you can prepare for events like heat waves, food shortages, etc. stocking up on precursors is also a good plan, and passive.
I had once the illusion that governments are for the people by the people. nowadays I think they are just an exercise of power over other countries in a perennial nations-scale darwinism. and there are no good countries. it's literally everyone against everyone. in this context, the single, the family nucleus, are worth nothing unless it's for diplomatic/promotional value. otherwise they are just cannon fodder either economically or militarly. if you feel alone they have won isolating you. connect with others (in the real world). in the word politics the suffix "poli" says that it's an exercise of many. you probably won't change anything, but at least it will feel better.
You haven't been following their voter suppression techniques haven't you? I'll be surprised if there even are midterms. Protests won't get you out of that
See that kind of talk might start a revolution. If you hadn’t said “haven’t “ twice we might’ve had a revolution.
Seriously tho you are a hit “doom and gloom” and that doesn’t help.
I hate the country I grew up in, but I have no money nor the means to be able to move to the country I want. And this is due to the shitty economy of the country I grew up in. So, be an anti-patriot. Be an anarchist. More power to ya.
Note: by no means am I really blaming the country for my lack of financial stability. I take full accountability for not preparing my life so that I prosper. But my point is: its hard no matter who I am or what I do.

You’re not against your country, you would be fighting FOR it.
But yes. Trump has won due to the apathy of Americans.
It’s over. Soon you’ll lose everything.

When folks have nothing left to lose is when it starts.

Actual American fight for freedom & democracy. "patriots" support the orange rapist.
Be an American. Put the rapist in prison.

Be careful with this one, Don. There are things you say in public, and there are things you say in private.

Do not start a revolution. No matter who wins America loses. It won’t be like the civil war (north against south) it will be neighbor vs neighbor.
Other countries would get involved supporting the side they feel would best benefit them.
We emerge from the war decimated and broke. Would lose our place as the world power.
It would be worse for everyone. And that’s if WE win. If the trumpets win they might bring back actual slavery.
Protest, riot, vote. That’s the plan.
