Well, they do make massive demonstrations when the same technique is applied to their own country by their politicians (and only then, not when their politicians do it abroad), were the ones against it are peaceful and get violently assaulted by the most piggy of pigs, whilst the ones who are violent are those demonstrating in favor of it and get friendly nods by the pigs.
Only a tiny fraction of Americans seem to genuinelly be against it out of principle (the kind of people who were as much demonstrating against targetted murders abroad under Obama as they are when it’s done under Trump) rather than being against it only when it starts affecting them.
IMHO, outside the ones who voted for modern progressive (the ones who are openly Social Democrats and Socialists and against all kinds of inequality including wealth inequality, not the pure Identity Politics liberals), voting blue in the US is just voting to restrict the more over iron-fist dictatorshiping to foreign countries whilst at home the riff-raff is controlled via a captured media and propaganda.
In the anti-Democratic voting system in the US the most democratic part isn’t the election, it’s the primaries, so the real thing that might give one hope is the increase in the number of genuine lefties winning Democrat primaries so that they were there as electable options in the actual election rather than one of the usual hard-right neoliberal in the pocket of the rich vs far-right fascist in the pocket of the rich “choice”.
Americans … doing something about a dictatorial government?
Pfft. Yeah, right.
Typically Americans are the ones going to other countries and installing dictatorships.

The number of people voting blue in the election gives me hope…although I know some probably didn’t vote for the right reasons

Same ones didnt show up last election though. Best i ever seen it put: the US has been sober a few days. Or have they even? Too early to tell.
