And even worse? They’re losing it all while the offending political party mocks and belittles them. Yeah, it’s gonna get bad. They fly Trump flags in front of their houses and wear the merch and decorate their offices with it so…

It won’t be hard for the resistance to find them.

I just upgraded to a Pixel 6 from Galaxy S8. The Galaxy had a panel that could easily be popped off. I realize this new phone does not. My bad.

Yeah I’m not proud to say it but it’s just getting to that point. What other options are there? Just let them destroy the country and when it’s finally down to not having food or water, maybe then we fight? Pathetic. The French would already have Paris on fire.

Not possible as long as 90% of the public just need to be told that trans people are evil. I’m sorry man. I’m glad you’re optimistic but I’m increasingly convinced this is going to end in violence.

It’s not changing minds. They laugh at the cratering stock market and subsequent outrage. They’re gonna need something a little more corporeal than a loud protest chant.

Exactly.

A real win is increasingly seeming to require flames.

They aren’t changing any Trumpist minds. They just aren’t. The stock market could reach zero valuation and theyd still be shilling for Trump.

Pull the battery out?

You’re not wrong. We need riots weeks ago.

No thanks.

Wait, being convicted ends political careers? Hitler and Trump wore their convictions with honor and used them to gin up support to great effect. Who’s to say Le Pen doesn’t somehow do the same?

Well said. We need to unite to counter this stuff. The right is definitely united. Fascism is very attractive to the average voter.

Yeah, you’re not wrong, that’s another path. Full blown authoritarianism.

Yes, exactly. They used Medvedev as an example.

They’ve already installed a guy that hasn’t been vetted and cleared that is tearing out the guts of our government at his whimsy and without oversight. They’re breaking the law in egregious ways and getting away with it in real time. There is only one way left to hold these people accountable.

Just heard an interview on BBC radio this morning with an American explaining that there are avenues for Trump to do this by abusing the line of succession. It sounds like they want to appoint him as Speaker of the House and then have the president and vice president abdicate.

If you like rap, or well, even if you don’t, listen to Death of a Constable by Brian Ennals and Infinity Knives.

Israel has killed more women and children than any other demographic. They have committed a genocide and the US president has called for an intensification and expansion of the genocide. Even going so far as to say he wants to ethnically cleanse Gaza.

Same thing happened to me. I told a guy to fuck off and got banned for not being nice. I appealed, but before that process completed, they permanbanned my 14 year account. I like that on Lemmy I can say normally uncontroversial things like “Nazi scum fuck off”.
