The only way out of this for the US is if they all get the Luigi special or at least enough of them so the others shit themselves when they go outsides

Sure Taco tuesday want a civil war but the choixe here is waiting for it to happen to you or to start it and maybe taking them by surprise a little because it's going to happen no matter what

Absolutely. ICE should not feel safe getting out of their vans. Especially in Blue cities.

In Seattle one thing we've been doing is trashing the exit of the ice facility with those green scooters. Blocks their vehicles. Every little bit helps.

For now sure but the way i see it soon they will go full speed with it and death will be the sentence for most ( they still need slave for the farm and such but Judge dredd style but with ICE for the others ) for anybody they don't like

Same, i know people are fearful abouth doing something but fear won't stop Palanthir AI sending a death squad taking care of them because they found a tweet saying fuck trump in 2016

[–] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 3 points 3 months ago

I’ve still yet to see any targets for even that type of resistance in my community. Feel so worthless not being able to take action.

As I said before in another thread. Voting is over. If these monster's worried about elections they wouldn't have supported this bill.

I truly believe now that all electronic voting machines are rigged. Only way we every have free and democratic elections is if we have paper back ups and rank choice voting. I now believe that Mitch McConnell and Lindsay Graham rigged their own elections. And hopefully we are going find out in a lawsuit that Elon Musk rigged the machines to help Trump win.

So Sanders unfortunately it's over there only way to turn us around and it isn't voting.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Here ya go. After seeing these reports, I had no doubts. They openly said it before the election. "Elon's the best he knows everything about those machines, he'll get us our win."

"If Trump doesn't win, I'm fucked." -Elon Musk.

First and last links are the data. The middle links are for us stupid people that need to be told how to read the data in the last link

[–] emmanuel_car@fedia.io 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Those are some very big accusations, can I ask what evidence has made you believe this?

[–] karashta@piefed.social 11 points 3 months ago

Not OP but here you go.

I'd check out their YouTube. Some pretty damning evidence of tampering when he looks at the statistics.

[–] redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 months ago

Google "drop off votes". Also Russia hacked the last 2 elections for recon and Elon, his kid and Trump all hinted at it.

[–] ReallyAngryNerd@europe.pub -2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sanders is old enough to remember previous fascist regimes, so I'm surprised he still seems to believe what he's saying.

[–] notsure@fedia.io 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

...there are going to be further elections?...

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Maybe, but only under tight voter control by the American GeStaPo. Just don't tick the wrong box, or you'll end up in south America.

[–] wheezy@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

ICE will absolutely be outside every voting box just waiting to harass anyone with an even slight tan.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

Or listed as "Democrat".

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's one of the boxes we could use, but I think it hasn't worked. There's 2 more, and I don't have a lot of faith in the jury box in this system.

A fellow Four Boxes of Liberty proponent I see!

[–] notsure@fedia.io 1 points 3 months ago

...we are well past the fourth...

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

If there will be a ballot box in Nazi America. One where you can actually vote.

Given the power and budget given to the New American GeStaPo, I doubt there will be anything like free and fair votes in the near future.

[–] wheezy@lemmy.ml 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yeah. The ballot box method is over guys. Any vote that's even close is gonna be "guarded" by ICE agents. They're about to hire every racist Trump supporter in every state with their budget. This is it. We are past the Rubicon and I can't even see it when I look back at the horizon.

This administration is not worried about votes.

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 8 points 3 months ago

He's CORRECT! The ONLY Course of Action for the Lawmakers who just MURDERED MILLIONS OF AMERICANS and CONTINUES BREAKING THE LAW is to Wait until we can TRY to Vote them Out Legally and Safely! That's the ONLY thing we can do and if ANYONE suggests Something REMOTELY Different or Violent they're a PAID BOT!

Surely this time Lucy won’t pull away the football

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 4 points 3 months ago

I wish but that’s not even close to what they deserve.

[–] jUzzo6@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago

What about Democrats supporting it?

[–] john_lemmy@slrpnk.net 4 points 3 months ago

I read that they must pay a price at the bullet box and got excited for a moment. Voting them out, really? They just cemented their power, why would they allow peaking voting to get in the way of that?

[–] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

See I’d stop after “must pay a price” and just kinda see what karma has in mind.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

probably the same price sanders himself paid... twice

[–] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What price was that?

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

The Democrats pushed him out of the ballot box in 2016 and in 2020
