I didn't export shit. I've been against our military industrial complex since I've known of its existence. You act like all of us are somehow in on this crap...

Normalize calling him “treasonous child fucker Trump”

trumpstein will do

It's because the left has allowed itself to be absorbed by establishment liberals, who have way too little stock with the people for their words to move anyone. This is the inevitable consequence of progressives regarding liberals as allies rather than slightly more tasteful (and more insidious) enemies.

Can you blame us? We haven't spent our whole lives screaming about weird shit so of course the right is better at it.

Well normally Presidents of the United States invade other countries, it's the self-invasion that's unusual here

He's deploying the National Guard to our capital, Washington DC. He's also taking federal control over the DC police. All because Big Balls said he was assaulted by 10 15-year-olds in an attempted carjacking. Whether or not it happened, or happened like that, I have no idea.

the other one is DC, he is desperately trying to distract the press from the files, so he ordered the military to remove HOMELESS people from dc, trying to ragebait the press as a distraction.

Washington DC

It’s like these people have never heard of Shays’s rebellion or the whisky rebellion. This is exactly what American presidents do and it goes further than Shays’s rebellion. Liberals need to learn nationalist myths will not save us.

TRUMP also made epstein files his campaign promise, some of his supporters arnt letting this go, even to the point the various platforms have to either astroturf or ban the supporters(eg, r/conservative, they completely banned the topic)

We are at the end of half a century of destroying the working class and militarizing our police.

With no social safety net, healthcare tied to employment, and at-will employment, there’s no working people able to afford a sustained non violent protest.

Capitalist controlled media has eroded any sense of class consciousness amongst the common people, who are more inclined to be angry about the “theft” of a billionaires pile of gold through taxation, than the everyday theft of the value their labor produces.

There have been many one day protests, large ones, but society has been reshaped to make sustained protests virtually impossible. A captured media landscape and election system insulate politicians from consequences. Together these depress the incentive for non violent protest.

Violent insurrection would be met with a ton of state violence.

People, pretty reasonably, aren’t excited to be beaten, sent off to CECOT, or killed.

And of course, I’ll note the many logistic issues. America is fucking huge, most Americans don’t have $500 to cover an emergency, no one has an extra $500+ to fly across country for a do nothing protest in DC. Protest coverage is met with derision by centrist as “too disruptive” while the right wing n enjoys the snippets of our police state bashing protesters with state sanctioned violence.

So a lot of people do the calculus, spend time, money, and energy to go out into the street to be beaten and maybe disappeared so that nothing will change, and they sit it out.
