Real life Colonel Lockjaw.

Give em hell

Their comment however was not about simping MTG. It was questioning Democrats sucking ass.

The most vulnerable people in your country are already being hunted down and put in concentration camps. Helping the fascists keep the lights on is not resistance.

If you are not ready to do political and institutional resistance that actually raises the stakes, you will create the conditions where people will either have to choose complete capitulation to fascism or violent insurrection.

Exactly, it is very telling the trumpists are salivating over Alberta but haven’t touched Quebec, which is the one province that has a movement with an actually legitimate independence movement.

Cut power to their buildings and to the hotels they’re staying. Now that it’s super cold out. Threaten them with freezing. Then order a slow as fuck inquiry to find out why there is no power and clutch your pearls.

If you genuinely want to disrupt them, you can.

Otherwise STFU with the rhetorical posturing.

Lead or get out of the way. Enough.

The difference between dealing with China and dealing with Trump is that they keep their side of bargains.

The US cannot be trusted any more.

And is there any particular reason why a political crisis should be averted? Any particular reason why the administration would not have to be frantically diverting is attention to these issues for the next couple of weeks until some kind of crescendo results in a resolution?

Resistance means making them have to pay a price every step of the way. Each day they don’t have to spend their effort to go on TV to do some petty politicking is a day where they have the bandwidth to spin doctor the events in Minneapolis.

I’m Greek-Canadian. In Greece, yankee go home is a classic anti-american slogan in leftist circles.

I don’t know where you found the “tons of posts encouraging violence”. I have made multiple posts encouraging non-violent resistance.

edit: here is precisely what I was commenting 6 days ago about violence: https://lemmy.ca/post/58814479/21200438

Hey Yanks, is this what resisting trumpist fascism looks like?

Get their asses. Make ICE toxic for Democrats.

Call them and ask them if today’s shooting would change their mind.

We need to make our own “bazooka” like the EU.

He also called Carney “governor” in the same post.

It’s time for this Liberal government’s “Just Watch Me” moment.

It’s called the DSA. Help them take over the husk of the Democratic party.

Why the fuck give up on obstruction?

Bullshit. The Republicans are the fascists in power. Being angry at them is the default, nothing to say. The Democrats can be either resisting or enabling. People have every fucking right to be mad at the enablers who should be resisting.

Your comment is the equivalent of saying “yea the crime in my city is caused by criminals and corrupt cops, but it’s mostly the criminals, so look why are you eating up the propaganda that you should be mad at the police?”.

As non-maga American voters you guys need to be holding your enabler Democrats to account. We, the rest of the world, know the Republicans are beyond your control. Your fucking Democrats though? That’s on you.
