Don’t forget that Donny’s having a birthday military parade coming up. We need to show up and sound off. If he wants America to be great we need to show how great we are against him and this regime.
Tomatoes, lots of tomatoes…
I know tacos are more expensive than tomatoes, but it would be way funnier
We cannot be silent in the face of Trump’s dictatorial move. Silence is acquiescence. We must be brave in resisting him. But we must not succumb to violence.
What is needed is peaceful civil disobedience. Americans locking arms to protect those who need protection. Americans sitting in the way of armored cars. Americans singing and chanting in the face of the Americans whom Trump is drafting into his handmade civil war.
Because peaceful civil disobedience definitely wont be met by force with 0 repercussions
This is the point that will be referenced in history books as the beginning of the second civil war.
John Brown has been on my mind a lot, truly one of the greatest Americans to live, and he aptly said after Harper’s Ferry “I am quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think vainly, flattered myself that without very much bloodshed it might be done.”
As if Americans won’t roll over and accept this as normal just as they have for every other batshit betrayal of their principles that’s taken place this century.
There is a point where people can’t roll over and accept it. It’s going to be when food and water scarcity becomes wider spread.
The goal for the last century was to reduce the ability for people to be self-sufficient and make them entirely reliant on an employer. When people can no longer rely on their employer for basic needs, things get fucky.
You gotta remember Americans are irrational, and largely unpredictable. In the long run, the goal of the regime will fail, but not before doing significant damage.
In 1933, many Germans also thought that things would not get that horrible. The established centrist parties believed they could keep Hitler under control - as did business leaders, unless they had already made arrangements with the Nazis to secure even greater profits. We all know how that turned out.
But since no one seems to learn from history, the danger of fascism is once again being underestimated today.
What I’m trying to say is: fight back while you still can! If this doesn’t happen soon and in an organized way, it will be too late and history will repeat itself.
I think that’s pretty likely, when I read comments like that. I just don’t think the majority of US citizens are aware of what it means to live in a dictatorship: For the rest of the world, not much will probably change, but it certainly will for those Americans who are not on the side of the fascists.

Except it won’t, because this time there’s no external superpower to save us from ourselves.
What about China?
It’s not as if the US won World War II on its own. That may be what they teach in your schools, but in fact, the losses suffered by your former ally, the USSR, were many times higher.
Of course, it’s possible that Trump will come to an arrangement with Russia, especially because he obviously has the same interests as Putin - but the fact is that China is the new world’s super power.
Feel free to dismiss that as my opinion, but it’s actually true. The US may still be the strongest military power, but economically it has been overtaken by China. That’s why Trump’s import tariffs have little effect on the Chinese - it’s a power game in which the US is coming up short.
Edit: Sorry, I just reread my comment and realized how arrogant and patronizing it is. I’ll leave it up anyway. Please overlook the arrogance and just consider the statement - sorry!

War on America? You guys realized that you have oil of your own and don’t need to invade other countries anymore?
You’re joking, but accurate with the recent push to start drilling in our national parks :(
The US produces the most oil of any country in the world, for several years now if I remember right
