I do apologize if I did not use the right tag. I used it because this is a message for the world to see.
What trump doesnt understand is right now america is trying to use the tools in our tool chest. Protesting, fighting in courts, submitting new legislation, etc... once the checks and balance is offically dead he personally would have taken all our gloves off. We dont want to do the extreme because americans know what that would entail. We know what we are capable of. We dont want that. We would love to reclaim democracy with peace because it would give us a leg up. "See? We dont need to go nuts. Our system is amaze balls. Bada bada."
Once our checks and balance is officially dead and the rule of law has no merit... well, americans are all floridaman
We know how crazy we are. We know how proud we are. We know that we will be creative enough to find a way to throw gators at our enemy just to say we can. Trump would lose over 70% of his military support because our men, women, and other genders defecting and joining the resistance. Our Vets would also step up and start leading lines of resistance.
In a weird way, many Americans have prepared for this moment for a long time. That is why you see us resisting violence as hard as we are. That is why you see us utilizing every and all outlets in our democracy. That is why we are not viva la France. We are not ton petite chou.
Right now, do not trust the US. Don't let up on us. Keep us isolated and let us do this internal battle. This is a major chapter in our history.
Keep in mind, the longer all of this goes on the more the people who voted for him will get hurt and you will begin to see a shift. We are not dumb but we are slow.
I say this as the grand daughter of a women who grew up in France in WWII. My great uncle went to Dachau. He was in the French resistance, got caught up shagging the mayor's (nazi sympathizer) daughter, got turned in, and survived. My mae mae was saved from a fire fight between the Brits and the nazis when she was going to get water. She threw herself in a hole and somehow molded her body in the copper pot she was carrying. The bullet dents in the kettle are her proof.
I am not the only American with stories like that. They have been passed down in the generations. We did not forget who are brothers and sisters are. We know. We won't forget.
We will also fight and die with you still.
Again, my best advise is isolate us just like trump wants. Give that to him. Let us battle disinformation and brainwashing. Cut us off like a bad sibling who has a drug habit we just can't kick and we keep asking you for money and a couch to crash on. Kick us out. Make us earn your respect again.
I know this post is not necessarily a world news tag, but this message is for the world.
We remember our oath to the constitution. To our brothers and sisters.
To end this I will leave the world with famous quotes from one of our great civil rights leaders, Malcom X
"Power in defense of freedom is greater than power in behalf of tyranny and oppression, because power, real power, comes from our conviction which produces action, uncompromising action."
And
"Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery"
Thank you for listening
