I know of a man in Texas who was a nuisance for a local city council. He disappeared one day, then his YouTube channel vanished.

It's ok to need a break to regroup.

It's essential to come back from that break.

Things you can do when you are ready:

1 - Survive. Dead people don't help. Martyrs are rare, most become statistics. 2 - Establish a local community for support in case of an emergency. 3 - Prepare emergency water and food supplies. 4 - Gather first aid supplies and train with them. 5 - Consider getting classes with a concealable sidearm and getting your Conceal Carry License. Most likely you won't need it, but it's a security blanket that you might want someday. After you have trained and stored an ammo supply, consider a 12 gauge for home defense and an AR for mobilization/hunting. Then get an armored vest. Then train more and buy more ammo. 6 - When a populist economic message and charismatic candidate emerge to challenge the new status quo, compel your community to join the revolution.

I used to be shocked Biden was #1 in 2019. Turns out, name recognition matters more than anything else, and Harris had a historic campaign budget. (Not that it was used well, but AOC has never had that level of PR)

The truth is, Luigi will be an exceptional martyr. The majority of deaths will be forgotten by the masses, because a million deaths is a statistic.

The key in the coming years is to survive, organize, strategize, and recover. Dying is a waste. We must all do what it takes to live and fight from a better position.

Our saving grace is the incompetency of the enemy. They are following plans created decades ago by aging and dying villains. The inheritors are inept and despicable.

Hitler shot himself and Mousolini was ripped to pieces because they overplayed their hands. Keep in touch with a local community, and figure out a way forward once our enemy is vulnerable.

Then you'll have to say something like "Google it, it's true" with confidence and press forward. That is, assuming Google hasn't whitewashed it the same way they have the apple maps kill site image.

My conservative relatives on the wealthier side are upset, at least. These economic policies and Musk's foolishness have soured them enough to question their media consumption.

Consider having a QR code for that URL handy if you are engaging folks 1-on-1 and taking this angle as your tactic! Be wary of using this tactic with folks who may hate professors, though. If they personally have been derided by educators and hate higher education, this tactic may backfire. With those folks, talk about how Trump lacks "common sense." You should profile the listener and make an educated guess which way to take it.

Fun challenge, I'll try to tackle it for kicks!

What you have currently is a joke, with a setup and punchline. You can either try to maintain that structure with a setup word, transition verb, then punchline word structure... Or you can abandon the joke and repackage the subtext/implication of the joke as bold, explicit text. The first would require great cleverness. The second would be easier and clearer.

Example A: Joke Format (Setup, Transition Word, Punchline) - "Clowns Know More" or "Clowns Do Work"

That is kind of vague about what you are referring. It might take many drafts to get close to something that works well.

Example B: Abandon metaphor, replace subtext with text - "Trump's A Chump."

I first thought of Trump's A Fool but I figure rhyming is catchier.

To be honest, I think a joke like this is fine as is, but doesn't lend itself to a movement-defining rally call either way. It's best used the way you wrote it as a hook to a speech talking point, or during a one-on-one conversation with an engaged individual, rather than a crowd call-and-response. You can then follow up with "Trump's a chump" after you have their ear, as a way to hammer home your point and compel them to adopt this view.

To be fair, Trump attended a college, so you need to be ready to demonstrate he never studied, is lazy, and illiterate/ignorant.

I do think giving him the moniker "Chump Trump" to deride his stupid choices would help distance people from him. MAGA loves mocking others, hate being mocked, and deride those who fall victim to mockery.

The collapse of the Soviet Union in the late 80s into the early 90s is all I think about. Now Russia is a new kind of hell.

I think that's a great chant, though I would support using his real name. I think we should use that one ASAP, but not rely on that to win the long game. We need to be for something that will carry us to a new party in control after this shit storm passes. But for now, getting rid of Elon would appeal to many across the aisle and would be a good first step.

Pretty sure this is the Mensa episode

Daily reminder that he wasn't deported, because deportation is a process and they skipped the process and sent him straight to a death camp
