A better solution for your political (situation) would be for the USA to break up and no longer be a country.

As an American, I endorse this plan. Let it all just dissolve

The U.S. IS inherently a "murder and pillage" kind of nation, yes. It's kind of the only thing we've ever done. If you're from the U.S. (like me) and you keep asking yourself "how did we get here?" Or "what happened to the America of my youth", then reading a little bit about history could be helpful. Or shit, talk to any Native about what their history, culture, language is, and then follow up with "What happened to them?".

The United States of America is a failed experiment. It's time to put it down.

Just clean it off. Kids are kids. If they're doing it to your house on a frequent basis, there's a reason for it. If it's just once, it's harmless fun

I'm sorry that my government is making a mess for you and yours. But please don't think that there is a lack of action. There have been basically nonstop (very liberal and mostly toothless) protests since before the election even, but the news refuses to report on them. Furthermore, there is a LOT going on from folks who would rather not advertise how they are resisting.

A resistance to a fascist government cannot, by it's nature, be public facing, so you'll never know everything that people are sacrificing and doing every day. But they are. We are.

There is no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism. Just less unethical consumption

Uhh, I mean, yes. But that's not the big own you think it is. He is SPECIFICALLY targeting children. It's the entire basis of his grift.

I get SO many weird looks when I tell people I don't like bleu cheese because it tastes like ants

I'm sure they are, but that's not my point. I'm just saying that it's not really medically necessary to flouridate water when fluoridated toothpaste and other treatments are so readily available

The thing is, research and learning is itself a skill that must be learned, and they don't teach critical thinking skills in school. Without an occasional friction-laden experience of figuring something out by trial and error, you won't ever learn HOW to learn, and I think that's the thing people get hung up on here. It not "younger ppl be stupid" its just literally "younger people are generally exhibiting less and less critical thinking skills year over year".

There is no PDF?

I am happy to say "I don't know." And if it's important I can and will go and find out how it works

THIS right here is the key factor here that I think people are missing. Learning is a skill and many people no longer have that skill
