Our democracy is at immediate risk, and history is repeating itself. What Donald Trump and Elon Musk are doing mirrors the actions of past authoritarian regimes. It took just 53 days for Hitler to dismantle Germany’s democracy. 53 days. He used executive orders, erased marginalized groups, and silenced opposition—while too many stood by and did nothing.

Trump’s executive order erases transgender and intersex people from legal recognition—just like Hitler erased Jewish and trans people from legal records before persecution began.

Elon Musk now has access to the U.S. Treasury’s financial system—just like Putin’s oligarchs seized control of Russia’s wealth to consolidate power.

Trump is erasing vital medical information from our government and silencing opposition—just like Hitler suppressed science and banned opposing views.

Trump is dismantling government agencies, firing oversight officials, and gutting institutions like USAID and the Department of Education—just like Hitler replaced government officials with loyalists to eliminate accountability.

We are on day 15, and we are running out of time. We have to make change, or our democracy will be gone.

I'm sorry but if nobody within the establishment steps up we have about two weeks until an armed resistance would probably be necessary. At 53 days we will be failing and shody Network States.

Just commenting to say we are a week past your two week necessity claim. Will be back when your two month warning has expired as well

And armed resistance has become necessary as the First Amendment is dead in the water, LGBTQ identities are erased, gay marriage bans are being talked of, and our government is aligning with fucking Russia, THE textbook corrupt government example. So yeah, how ya feelin'?

Bruh you need to be on it today.

Armed resistance, as it always has, can only actually come from the military. They are bound by oath to constitutional defense. So... maybe?

But IRL, if you look at history, civil unrest does not stop these things. They are stopped ultimately by wars with foreign militaries. All successful revolutions have monied and powerful interests backing them. You and I aren't doing anything without joining a state sponsored militia. That's just how the game of history is played. I opt out. I'd rather live in the woods than fight in a civil war.

I was there with my fellow veterans watching the capitol get stormed (on live stream). At the time the only thing we thought that could stop it, should it go any further, was the joint chiefs.

You make the decisions you feel like you need to live with.
