MODERATORS
You know that you can strategically vote liberal and do direct action, right?

Is this like a political compass kind of thing?
Kind of, it shows that there are a few ways to try to achieve change. So if you keep trying one of those methods and don't see the change you want, it might be time to change tactics.
The political axes of moderate–militant and liberal–radical may seem equivalent, but they are not. It’s true that liberals are often moderates, and radicals are often militants. But that’s not inevitable and it’s not universal. I’ve worked with plenty of radicals who were also moderates, who sought to make fundamental changes in the power dynamics of their communities using low-risk action to make gradual changes. And I’ve worked with liberal militants, who were willing to fight to make changes within established power structures. In any case, all of these approaches can have a time and place in resistance struggles.

Sorry to break it to you but the blame lies with the American people. In Europe, when something like this happens, everyone's on the streets and there are strikes everywhere. And the protests almost always turn violent. And we're talking about large demonstrations of millions, not a few hundred/thousands as in the US. In the US, the demonstrations kinda feel like a spectacle, a show that you join for a couple of hours. In Europe it means business. I'm also American, but I'm currently in Greece. I've seen the differences with my own eyes. The public needs to show force, or it has no teeth. I'm not advocating for violence, I'm advocating for teeth.
Unfortunately even Europe is going this way. The right have figured out how to spam nonsense on social media and turn enough people. And how to control media in general, just be on tv and radio as much as possible complaining about everything even if it doesn’t exist and offer up baseless solutions to solve every problem you’ve ever head.
See Farage.

The final count for No Kings was over 5 million. Glad a bunch of folks that only work 30 hours a week can be at their commin protest point within hours and complain that Americans barely keeping their heads above water have low numbers just because our country is massive.

The only real resolution is the one people don't want to admit to publicly. They can't even write the words out and publish it. It's not even a game of chicken. Nobody lives forever. History has seen the correct treatment to what he is in the past. It should be done now as well.
I've got a solution, get rid of Facebook and Fox News in your Maga people's lives. Put parental controls on their TVs if you can and try to convince them that Fox News was bought out or something. It's the constant deluge of bullshit that's causing this.
MAX FISHER: The places where Facebook usage - not general internet usage, but specifically Facebook usage - was significantly above the average for Germany, the number of attacks on refugees was also well above the average.
SHAPIRO: That's author Max Fisher, who writes about this research in his new book, "The Chaos Machine." It's not just that violence against refugees went up in places where people used Facebook a lot. The researchers also looked at outages - Facebook disruptions - and they found that when the platform went offline in a specific place, attacks against refugees in that community dropped.
FISHER: Extended time on social media is addictive, and it changes your behavior, and it changes the way that your mind works. And it does that in a consistent direction towards more outrage, more extreme ideas and a greater hatred of us versus them.

Just remember to always vote for the least worst, because there is no good, so that's the best you can do. And fascists are always the worst, by a mile.
Me in my 20s: "NO EFF YOU! NO COMPROMISE!"
Me, tired, in my 30s: "1 vote for Kodos, please"
