Kudos to the person who is sending the correct message. Everyone who believes in protecting the US Constitution should fly the US flag upside down.

Flag flown upside down as sign of distress outside of US State Department building today
(lemmy.world)
I mean the US is certainly in distress
The State is in distress. Who will answer the call? Who will come it's aid? We have all been summoned.
Batman?

It's funny to think that any of these comments are relevant. Are you new to the internet maybe?. The best I can do is hope to influence. The best an American can do is contact people already working to correct this and ask them what needs doing. This leads me to wonder how all the Americans are posting in this thread, being that they are all so exhausted. Why not go to sleep? Then wake up later and get in touch and involved.
It's almost like Americans are here trying to convince themselves there is nothing they can do.
How brave of you. What a testament to your freedoms. What a fine demonstration of what it truly means to be American: A blame shifting, feckless inheritor of a once great country. All hype. No substance, apart from the folds of blubber around their mid sections. What a legacy. All your talk of freedom backed by nothing. FREEDOM!
What are YOU doing that's useful? Besides blustering on the internet that is.
Wasn't the upside down us flag thing used by j6'ers? Are the line workers taking it back as the symbol of a stolen country for themselves, or is this Musk and crew indicating we're fucked?
Imagine being the person running this up the pole at the fucking state department.
The gravity well produced from the balls of this person (all genders included) is pulling me from miles away.
That seems like a very bad sign. Someone wanted a message to get out to the public, but I'm not entirely sure what can be effectively done about it. Credit to the person with the balls to send out the warning, though.
I'm not entirely sure what can be effectively done about it.
History offers no control groups; there is no "right" way to proceed. What's certain is that "nothing" is not the answer.
Maybe we should double down on capitalism again.
It's the only move the US has used in living memory.
Like when Elon gets rid of "all regulations" make private bounty hunters/hitman legal again?
Anything is legal if it's not prosecuted.
And with a dismantled government, how much can they really prosecute?
Prosecution is one possibility. Getting gunned down is another. Getting sent to Gitmo is another. Having your family retaliated against is another.
All legal, if they aren't prosecuted either.
Oh brother...

This dude thinks "hundreds of millions" of people voted for Trump lol, and you know he'd have cheered some hick on ACA doing the same thing in 2020.
Simply not a serious person.
"hundreds of millions" is a typo..it should have said 10s of millions...but, I'm not a "serious" person because of that... GTFO....
