The problem is, I don’t show up to work because I’m protesting, my child loses their home. And THAT’s why countries are pushing birth rates . I’d love to be out there, doing something, like I spent summers protesting shit George Bush was doing, or during trumps first term. But I don’t know how to do it now without losing everything.
I do empathise, but if you guys don’t stop this, your kids are going to be in a worse situation than homelessness. Everyone there is, and us outside the US are also going to be fucked because america is so powerful globally and everything so intertwined. Nazi Germany was a hard enough fight, but military technology was less advanced then, to say nothing of nukes…
The problem is that this shit gets entrenched, normalised and harder to fight, as time goes on. Think how much unimaginably awful stuff has already happened - you think they’re done? By the time it’s bad enough you’re ready to fight no matter what, any kind of resistance will be illegal and very difficult. Will you be on the streets protesting when they threaten you with putting you in a labour camp for life with no trial? Then what’s gonna happen to your kids? Fight while you can.
Your kids will grow up not remembering a different world, propagandised at school/ mandatory youth activities and probably fighting for the system you despise. This has all happened before in countries which became authoritarian/fascist, and you can also read/watch 1984.
They’ve been raising the heat in the pot for decades. Some of us have been paying attention, but we typically get called “sensationalist” or “alarmist”. They’ve started calling us “an tea fuh” and “unAmerican” now. Camps will probably come at some point.
Incrementalism was the death knell of this country. We’re just hearing the death rattle now.
They already are sending people to camps - the ones in el Salvador. Trump is now threatening to send the americans vandalising teslas there. He often signals his actions beforehand with the social media rants, probably so his handlers can get a read on public opinion (especially of MAGA) before he does anything, while he’s still got plausible deniability and can say he was trolling, which MAGA also loves.
People need to get out on the streets, make massive protests, make a freedom movement. Maybe make it fun like they did in the 60’s, make it a huge street party which lasts for days with music, dancing, food, people drop in and out as they can, tents and share accommodation and child care.
It doesnt matter what the MAGA cult says, they’re all delusional. You can’t argue with someone like that. They want to believe it, so no evidence can convince them otherwise. There are more of you than of them. When MAGA starts losing, they’ll leave it, quietly.
How am I supposed to organize a mobilization of people in a country that is 2,800 miles (4506km) east to west and 1660 miles (2671km) north to south?
How do I communicate where to meet up?
How do I ensure our targets don’t get wind of it?
How do I ensure everyone is there?
How do I make sure we get every leader that is going to need to be ousted?
How do I ensure they’re even going to be there?
How do we find all of the money backers that want this crap?
How do we decide who should lead this new leadership chain without starting another fight?
How do we ensure that the military doesn’t just mow us down when we try?
If I can’t lead this charge, who does? How do I find someone willing, and is actually capable of leading this charge?
How do I ensure I don’t just have some trigger happy yahoos that will shoot anything remotely a target before anything starts?
How do I ensure we don’t have bad actor there to tank it all (and there are plenty)?
Look, I see what you’re saying. I’m pissed off. This isn’t supposed to be the country I was raised in. It had many issues. This isn’t the country that I raised my hand to fuck my body up for.
I’d love to pick up my weapons, drive the 2 weeks across the country, and do something about it all. I have kids. I know, I know, what the future holds for them is much worse than homelessness. That is still a rough pill to swallow. I’m a frog on a hot plate. That hot plate is thousands of miles across to get off. It is surrounded by 100’s of other hot plates that have to be dealt with to stop the heat. Some of which I wouldn’t even be able to find, or would be constantly moving around with the capability I have to mobilize (jet vs driving).
Do I flee the country? Do I stay and fight back the best I can? I can’t flee. I can’t work due to severe medical issues (another rub in this entire thing, how do I ensure everyone is able bodied enough to help). No one is going to take me in. The best I can do is arm and stock like I should be wearing tin foil on my head. Try to be as self sustaining as we can. A garden. Some chickens that will end up having to be guarded by Brinks soon. Then vote for the shit sandwich that doesn’t have glass in it and is covered in barbed wire. Try to help my kids see why this is all bad. To differentiate good sources and bad sources of information. Weed out logical fallacies. Pick out gas lighting. Try to prepare them for a better future that opens more options for them. One that allows them to leave the country if needed. How to participate and make things better, and why they should participate in voting and other such things.
Why are the American people so …weak?
In another month, Americans will have non ability to mobilize and fight the Dictatorship that is almost fully installed.
Meanwhile, Americans upvote FB crap thinking that does something.
Losers. All of them.
Talking for decades about how special they are. How free. How they stand against tyranny.
Laugh My Fucking Ass Off!
Heil Trump.
Americans are ENEMIES of freedom now.

Let me ask you this:
