      Lots of are organizing and pushing back. Let’s not assume every American is accepting fascism lying down.

      And even if you’re not protesting and organizing neighborhood ICE watches, sharing these stories is also important. Especially since right wing media censorship is increasing in the US. People need to know what’s happening in order to be mad about it.

        Until the fascists are gone, it’s not enough. Sorry, not sorry.

          Sounds like a good way to lose a lot of babies searching for that perfect bath water.

            The perfect bath water in this metaphor being “not having a fascist, warmongering, narcissist pedophile head of state”.

            Absolutely meaningless statement lol. Just because there is a saying (aka meme) that sounds deep ands profound doesn’t make it true.

                Maybe that would be okay if your country wasn’t threatening mine. Also if you were, you know, actually dealing with it.

            Indian independence, South African end of apartheid, Philippines end or Marcos, US civil rights movement, and I could go on. We have plenty of examples where protests, strikes, and civil disobedience were the main catalyst for change, not a violent resistance movement.

              Indian independence?

              https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/06/29/the-great-divide-books-dalrymple

              Mother fuckers out here trying to cherry pick and revision history to align with their narrative. While their leader is openly saying that only violent power matters in the world.

              How much is Trump admin paying you?

        Organize a protest in your community. Write letters (plural, don’t stop) to your representative. Talk to your friends, family, and coworkers about what needs to change. Participate in other organized protests. Endorse and help organize a general strike.

        Exercise a few other constitutional rights.

      Trump is doing poorly in polling, he’s an obvious pedophile and the economy is shit.

      We could take advantage of that and win in 2026, giving Congress the ability to check the Trump administration.

      Or we could run out into the street and initiate uncontrolled, disorganized violence that will kill way more innocent civilians than anyone, giving Trump the excuse he wants to militarily shut down society.
