This is a hard to solve problem, because good journalism deserves to be paid for, but the average person won't pay for it in money (or even an account) Only fix I can think of is the NPR/PBS model.

Fuck... if you are a US Citizen and bitching about this shit to folks in Europe or Canada, they have the right to tell you to shut up. You can bitch on your own, but STOP REPLYING.
And then if you didn't vote. FUCK YOU. If you didn’t at least *vote* which is the bare minimum of social engagement, do not reply to me.
Saying you didn't vote like it's a get out of jail free card makes you look fucking like as much of a clown as the people who voted for for this.
(Now, I know some people *couldn’t* vote, couldn’t get time off, live in a red state, and couldn't afford to lose the day to a line at the polling place, but couldn’t ≠ didn’t. Those that couldn't you have my sympathy.)
Please stop being defensive. The “Not all americans wanted this” sounds like “Not all white people" and “not all men" excuses. Yes, fair, but a MAJORITY (or at least a majority of the vocal/visible) did.
I'm fucking trans, I'm a target, I get feeling defensive, but the US needs to clean house. And it may be too late.

Christianity has *always* taught to love others, forgiveness, and kindness. Saying that the words attributed to Christ in the bible no longer apply means you no longer consider yourself Christian. Trump and Musk more closely matches the definition of the anti-Christ than they do people of faith.
