There’s way too many, like myself, who can’t even afford to take a week off of work much less however long it would take to revolt.
And we’d be going up against a military that just waltzed into another country which has a functional and organized military and expect to succeed against them grassroots?
I don’t think anything will happen before a state or group of states splinters off with their national guard as support.
We’re definitely not laughing. Well, not the ones against him - which does seem to be the majority, at least when you’re here.
And you think action will be easier if you wait longer? You are wrong, things are only going to get more difficult.
Facism is a cancer. You cant ignore it or reason with it, or hope it goes away. The only option is to take the terrible medicine and fight, now.
Well, yeah. It will be perhaps not easier if you wait for a mass of discontent or an inciting incident, but it will be winnable. You can’t fight alone. Yes, it’s going to be a fight and a challenge, but we have to convince the masses that the status quo is not normal any more, and convince the notoriously easy going and anti violent crowd to understand that violence is necessary. If you fight too early, you’ll get all the centrists against you as well - and we can’t have a two front fight.
Groups of like minded individuals are already beginning to form. Those will naturally coalesce when the time is right.
What immediate, terrible medicine do you propose? I’m legitimately interested.
Thats the thing, I dont know what the medicine should be.
I feel like we are waiting either for an incident like you suggest, or a leader who is able to rally the un-interested, un-motivated, and burned out masses. The left does not have their super star yet.
Yeah, I agree. The left’s leadership is really just “less right”, but equally owned by corporations. That’s not gonna do anything for us.
Some cancers are terminal/inoperable...
Thats true, but i dint think thats the case here. Regimes can always be changed. Sure it might take a couple decades, but even rome eventually fell.
This is really it in a nutshell.
I'm honestly not sure what to say to the Europeans and other non-Americans posting a lot on Lemmy lately, who seem to think all Americans - even those who have opposed every Trump action and have despised Trump since the 90s - are individually to blame for Donald Trump.
I'm like: Imagine everyone around you decided you were going to be married to an abusive spouse. You never agreed, yet sure enough, one day you woke up legally married to, and having to live in the same house with, a delusional, malignant narcissist abuser. No divorce possible, consent was never required after all. And if you tried to ask for help, your neighbors - who want you to know they absolutely hate abusers! - would spit at you and say, "Take care of your own problem!"
Ok, thanks, appreciate it.
You know its even worse than that - fascist or fascist adjacent parties are leading in polls in the UK, France, and Germany simultaneously. Canada and Australia only avoided electing mini trumps as a response to trump. And that's only speaking of the larger countries. When I hear someone on here go off about how the "world" has always known the US is just bad I'm amazed. Can you not see what is happening in your own countries? International capital is making its move, and something is happening across the democratic world.
Cribbing this from some tumblr i saw: "My wish for 2026 is that Europeans will be as critical and vigilant about authoritarianism and racism in their own country as they are about them in the U.S. and that Americans will be as critical and vigilant about authoritarianism and racism in the U.S. as Europeans are."

That's what we expect you to do.
Yes this, it’s real and important.
Does the story of the burning bed carry any weight?
It's just one more slap across the face, one more forced sex in the middle of the night and being choked as the fat fuck does what he wants and then the little Mrs. is gonna snap.
