      you speak truth and they downvote it because they don’t want to face that fact that one day of standing around accomplishes nothing. they want to think this will be easy and won’t require real sacrifice. they’re lazy and naive.

      please bookmark this post. show me what changes one month from now. one year from now. please prove me wrong.

        If you can’t even bother to stand around to protest, how tf are you supposed to get people to do more extreme actions when the time such drastic actions are required comes around? Your apathetic response to protesting will only lead to a more fractured society that cannot attempt any meaningful resistance to the fascist in the white house.

            People who are serious doesn’t balk at the idea of protesting. If you can’t even bother sacrificing time to sit around to show people that its safe for them to come fight against fascism, there is no way you’d have the guts to sacrifice your life to actually fight against the fascist when the time comes. It’s probably better if you just sit at home and don’t bother talking about fighting or protesting. At this point, you’re more of an asset to the fascists than anything, even if you didnt know it yet.

        Calls to violence you mean?

        You want a circlejerk with no barriers, whereas I wish we could discuss the reasons why hes putting in tariffs and cutting spending. Project 2025 versus ETS2 for instance, or the fact China is buying fewer and fewer treasuries every year; leading to higher borrowing costs on leveraged economies globally as money is sucked into the US, to fund the spending they also cant afford.

        Even the global demographics look bleak given the amount of debt we’ve taken on, and people are still living in an MMT fantasyland as they roll over their mortgages from 2% to 6%.

    it’s everywhere

    And they are doing what that is useful? The amount of people in any of these pictures could easily enter the White House and unseat Trump, yet here we they are, performativelizing.

      Attack the head of the snake and chances are you’ll get bit. He’ll be in a chopper before a window gets broken and the National Guard will be there in minutes.

      The GOP are getting cold feet, Musk is close to leaving, and Trump is starting to throw his appointees under the bus. Sorry you probably won’t get to see Trump tied up and crowd surfed into a van to never be seen again but this is the process.

        Sure, whatever process that works works. My point is I’m not seeing a process - I’m no seeing progress. Just complaining, which is something the elites can already and have always burrowed their heads in the sand at.

      I do agree that the resistance needs to become more radical, but you don’t just enter the seat of power and unseat the democratically elected president. Like it or not he still has a popular mandate and that needs to be destroyed first; that’s ultimately what civic resistance is all about. Also he has armed security, which can just shoot any intruders in part because of said popular mandate.

        Okay, then how? Because from what I have seen pretty much every official in a position of civil service just resigns to let Trump do as he pleases, so there’s not much of a resistance. Who in civil service is supposed to unseat Trump? DOGE is certainly not gonna do it.
