Trump and co have 2 years (until the midterms) to bankrupt the US, let Bezos, Musk and Thiel buy whatever is left that can turn a profit (energy, utilities, etc.) and put loyalists in charge of the election in key states.
See USSR in the 90s.
If Democrats had some sort of plan against what’s happening, they would ALL be saying this, over and over, to all journalists in every news organization and podcast.
They should lead the pushback but they look like spectators.
The only thing at this point that could prevent the USA from annexing Canada is a civil war to deal with. So yeah, it’s gonna get worse before it gets better.
This right here might be the most wholesome thing I’ve heard in a long time.
Vote. In every election. In the primaries. The city you live in. The school council. And convince everyone you know to vote, too. Protest. Strike. Make people you know angry about what’s happening so they are motivated to stir shit up. You still can change things, but you are right: you can’t do it alone. So find as many people you can who can do it with you. Time is running out.
I fucking love NYC
Yeah but remember, ACAB /s
Social media contributes to the polarization of public discourse and should absolutely be boycotted. However, this polarization manifests in various ways, and your comment is a good example of this. When everything becomes a purity test, we fall into extremism. To counter the rise of fascism, you must be willing to unite with those who do not share your opinions.
Not a lawyer, but court orders are ultimately enforced by the DOJ. So yeah…
Exactly. They should simply act like leaders do, show the example by actively resisting, blocking everything they can. Simple as that. The non-millionaires in the party know this, but the leadership is sooooo disconnected they don’t realize what their constituents want.
There are a LOT of things Trump & co are doing right now that are beyond presidential power or even downright illegal. Biden and Obama didn’t act like this because they couldn’t. Trump’s acting fast because the people that wrote project 2025 planned it like that. They took a bet that the rest of the country would just watch them, mouth open and do nothing. Seems they were right.
People like judge Jackson are what the US need right now.
And democrats still hesitate to resist like they should.
Call your representatives, show them you want this to stop.
Do you have an example? From where I am, I don’t see too much resistance (apart from the FBI agents suing the DOJ).
With this and DOGE it sure seems the US is slowly destroying itself from the inside, all to the benefit of Russia, China and a few rich guys

Yeah if they were a real party for the people they wouldn’t need to search too long.
They see it as a problem because it challenges how they see the world. They have a hard time adjusting to how society has evolved, so rather than trying to change their beliefs they use their power to force the world to conform to their views.
Also, they’re fascist assholes.
I don’t think it’s a distraction, Trump’s been talking about tariffs since he took office. And besides it seems clear he doesn’t give two shits about what people say.
