That's true, but they also need to take responsibility: Americans elected this man who has demonstrated his incompetence, corruption, and sociopathy over the past 10 years. If they don't like what they see, they should demonstrate en masse and continuously. But nothing. A few demonstrations, and then the most complete abdication. People are accountable for their silence and refusal to say no, which is always the first action to take with a bully. People are responsible for sane-washing this man as soon as he makes a half-hearted intervention between two unacceptable dirty deeds.

Harvard must not budge an inch. The bully is doing what he always does, bullying, even though there is no legal basis for him to carry out his threat.

But still, no outrage, no one in the streets continuously. A majority of Americans take the benefits of democracy so much for granted that they have no idea what happens when a country becomes a dictatorship. They imagine that all the current authoritarian excesses can be blocked next year and reversed in 2028. No, it doesn't work like that. A democracy is lost in a few months; it often takes a revolution to bring it back.

While the sociopath-in-chief and his enablers are dismantling American democracy while engaging in unprecedented levels of corruption in plain sight, the media spends its time discussing the former president's health. This is not a priority at a time when the country is experiencing an unprecedented crisis that requires immediate action. The complete apathy and indifference of the American population in the face of the unfolding disaster ultimately reveals that they are going to get what they deserve.

By now, it seems to me that people should know that when a post demonstrates empathy (or proper grammar), it wasn't him who posted it. A sociopath like him never demonstrates empathy.

@Jazzy Jan Amazing news! I’m happy for you! This is few victories BUT it's only the beginning of a cultural war whose significance people don't seems to care or understand. These far-right movements seek the abolition of democracy under the pretext of defending it from wokeness and the "deep state." The population remains too apathetic in the face of the threat. The disappearance of democracy in a country could happen in a few months, but it cannot simply be brought back afterwards.

Racism, homophobia, and sexism were still present during his pontificate. Yes, he did better than his predecessors, but the institution remains just as toxic.

this. Although he may have been the least worst of the popes, the fact remains that he was the representative of a racist, sexist, and homophobic institution responsible for abuse, exploitation, and injustice for 2,000 years. So, there's no reason to make a fuss about his death.
