This is wholly out of control.
Fix your country, you absolute selfish idiots.
Seriously. Fucking do something.
Yes, but all the people who could and should have prevented this did nothing. What would you suggest a normal person do?
There are a lot of illegal things you can do, and a lot of things republican supporters openly do that involve violence. I’m not going to openly implicate myself but use your imagination.
There have been some successful non-violent revolutions in history, and there's a strong case to be made that not exhausting those options could be a huge mistake.
We still have, right now, completely un-used tools at our disposal, such as unionizing en masse and deploying a general strike, which is insanely powerful (capable of bringing a nation to its knees if done widely enough), while being far less dangerous and more appealing to the general populace than any other means.
Unionization en mass and a general strike are just simply not realistic goals in the current political and social climate in the US. And that half assed attempt at organization at that level is now going to get my country invaded.
You know what else didn't seem like reasonable goals in the current political climate? Dissolving USDA and global boycotts, resulting in absolutely tanking Tesla stock. Things change.
Organizing can make the change necessary to overcome usamerican fascism. Giving up and relying on the status quo will allow your "democracy" to die in silence.
I don't disagree, but... how?
If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Join up with allies while we still can easily!
Fuckin' hard work, my friend. As Joe Hill said, "Don't mourn, organize!"
Join the 50501 protests and/or attend TeslaTakedown protests.
A simple bang is all that's needed.
I don't actually think that is all that's needed. Trump is a symptom. He didn't write Project 2025. He's not the one with these ideas.
Correct. Killing Hitler would not have stopped WW2, and killing Trump doesn't solve America's problems.
I would party for a week solid if that fucker caught a bullet, but it's not a solution in itself.
We could have been partying in July, but some high school kid couldn't hit the broad side of a barn apparently.
Taking away a valuable tool that he is would be a start, though.
True, but his cult of personality is integral to the power to keep everyone in line.
Insufficiently deferential Republican congresscritters won't be successfully primaried because of a mean tweet from Jericho Johnson, John Thune or the couch fucker.
Simple to think about... extremely difficult to accomplish.
You'd really want it to be a series of smaller bangs on lower-level state figures. Less important, less protected, but still mission critical.
Democrats for the past sixty years have fought tooth and nail to ban guns and succeeded in their own states to demonize ownership of them.
Not only are they pathetically unable to leverage threats of violence against fascists using Second Amendment rights, they are also unwilling. So fuck them.
Cops and fascists don't respect unarmed protestors peacefully waggling their fingers at them, they will resume disrespectfully destroying the nation and laugh gleefully while they do this.
To those who rebuke me saying they are a Democrat that owns a gun and doesn't make it their identity, you are outnumbered by dipshit inbred armed MAGA Republicans 20:1, so no you are useless as fuck and continue to be useless as fuck unable to protect LGBTQ and vulnerable people from this Orange Shithead.
Yah, that's your problem. He has declared war on canada, and we have guns. A large amount of them, and mostly undocumented. I'd say he better not step foot on our soil, but he's a felon and can't.
Second amendment... Your founding fathers already wrote the instructions for you. Just do it.
Mario's brother showed you the way.
