Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

We better start preparing for a stronger resistance now while we still can.
This method would not only work in the US, but anywhere in the world.
Union Suggestions:
If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Look at how effective these methods were when used in Chile in 2019.. If we completely reject the political system and rebel on a mass scale, there is NOTHING they can do to stop us.
ASF-IWA:
uhhhh no thanks. they’re never going to actually get anything done
If you'd prefer a more standard union, there's quite a few to choose from. The United Workers Union looks to be alright.
An issue with more 'standard' unions is that they are often centralized with leaders that can become corporate captured, and thus begin to actually work in the interests of the capital owners to only achieve modest or lackluster gains from negotiations or strikes. They also often don't have a particular interest in truly changing the status quo, such as working toward building up popular movements to challenge capitalism itself, instead only hoping for a wage increase so they can continue as usual, with a little more breathing room.
The ASF-IWA doesn't demand that their members don't vote in political elections, only that as an entity, they're more focused on direct-action instead of waiting for permission from a corporate captured system.
But in the end, joining any union is still a win in my book.
I might be a downer but T still has many supporters/apologists. I believe that things will start to change only when those people become vocal against him. Until that happens resistors will start populating the camps next to the “illegals”.
A lack of resistance now will only guarantee a quick decent into Russian style authoritarianism. We resist now, or wait years or potentially decades for it to crumble and break.
The 50501 resistance movements have already shown us that there are millions who will openly resist. The military parade showed hundreds of slouched out of step soldiers, who would only do so if they disapproved. Trump only barely won the election.
Does he have supporters still? Of course, a wide amount of brainwashed people are were caught in that trap, and it will take a great deal of hardship for them to come out of that cult.
But just as many are not. Just as many are awake to what is happening. It may decent into civil war, and I think it'd prudent to be ready for that possibility, but hopefully it won't come to that.
But don't wait for a mass movement to make it safe for you to stand up, or you may never stand up.
