Voting isn’t enough. You need to shut down the foreign propaganda that’s creating these movements in the first place.

Unfortunately this requires dipping into authoritarianism a bit, but I don’t see the alternative. Sedition needs to be dealt with properly, and the majority of these far right movements are seditious and should be treated as such.

Wow 5 whole people. And you all make fun of the US for only having a few hundred or thousand at a time?

That GOP number is right around Trump’s floor, interestingly enough. The GOP is a cult and Dems are angry at their politicians, so this doesn’t surprise me.

This one needs to be bigger

Trump’s mission is to weaken the US, NATO, and the EU. Eliminating VoA helps do that. Notice how he isn’t threatening China with invasion, but Canada and Denmark instead.

I hate this argument. Every mass civil resistance movement carries an implicit threat of violence. That doesn’t mean you have to follow through on the violence in order for the movement to succeed

There’s a reason most democracies enshrine the right to assemble in their constitutions, and it’s because the act of assembly scared the shit out of the ruling classes that stood in the way of republicanism, so they made sure to punish it severely.

These comments are so ridiculous. People don’t just get up and revolt, it takes a fucking lot to get that point.

Peaceful resistance is much more effective at this stage, as much as I wish this madness would just go away, and as much as I wish the resistance was stronger in the US.

Any revolt right now would not have enough support to succeed. It’s a stupid idea being spammed by angry keyboard warriors who wouldn’t walk the walk if the shoe were flipped. You’re full of shit.

Cool story, so you go first then.

It would actually make things much worse. This cult goes beyond Trump now. They will absolutely rally around whoever succeeds him. People need to stop underestimating fascist propaganda.

They turn the missile into a giant supersonic shotgun

This law requires them to be sanctioned by Congress. It can’t just be a “special military operation” like Iraq was.

As usual conservatives take something that makes them look like the evil shitbags they are and lie about it for political gain.

And it was AFTER they purged the civil service of the Weimar Republic, which is exactly what this terrorist is doing right now.

People here are asleep at the wheel. They have no idea what these lunatics have in store for them. This guy is an open white supremacist, JD Vance endorsed a book calling for mass genocide of all non-MAGA people, Patel wants to prosecute Trump’s critics, and Trump spent all of last year calling ordinary people “vermin” who need to be crushed.

Convincing people to protest is like pulling teeth. So many people are convinced that protests “don’t work” because BLM didn’t achieve the change they wanted or they’re already caving that they’ll get arrested or some other pathetic excuse. It’s infuriating.

Soon they won’t have a choice. And if they don’t act then, I really don’t see a way out of this except getting the fuck out of the country and hoping the rest of the world can contain the massive amount of damage this admin is going to cause.

Only if we let it happen.

What do you think they were protesting for?

That number is only going to get higher.

They just gave Trump a blank check with our money. There’s nothing difficult about this choice. They had leverage, they failed to apply it at any point.

Give Fox News 6 months of their two minutes hate bullshit and Trumpers will be frothing at the mouth for Canadian blood. Americans have already proven that we’ll follow a blatant liar into war if the propaganda sets the tone for it.

Yeah b-b-but the real government injustice is putting a fucking squirrel to sleep.
