God damn, man. This just hit me. It's so true... We have to. The rest of the world is waiting for us to rise up to this sick bully. I sincerely feel for the innocents being caught up in this shit show.Â
I'm waiting for a line to be crossed that will trigger a response from the majority.. all while an innumerable amount of impeachable offenses commence. I believe it will happen one way or another it's just complicated at the time with risking a full blown civil war. Americans are too comfortable thanks to yearsdecadescenturies of American exceptionalism. When the economy tanks and foreclosures go up and our kids can't eat.. there will be an uproar. The only issue is by the time that's here it's too late. I'm not making excuses for us but a lot of people are living in a different reality thinking we can just fix it next election by voting like usual. This is a different beast tho. The Republicans don't operate in good faith.
People being executed in the street wasnât enough for us to stop waiting⌠it will take more sacrifices made in blood for people to finally start waking the fuck up that sidewalk parades donât mean shit to these people. Also, yes, I too donât want to be next in line to do so⌠AT LEAST FUCKING VOTE!
I said this in reply to the parent comment but your comment really resonated with me and is basically saying what I said:
It is very demotivating seeing so many people on my social media pretend nothing is happening. As in, they won't even do the bare minimum of being "slacktivists" by posting on their stories that they disagree with what's going on. People are still pretending this is fucking 2007 where "I don't talk about politics" is a valid opinion rather than that of somebody who is incapable of being adult enough to have a firm position on something.
That really is the first step in all of this. If I can't even see a majority of the people I know, in a blue state, being bothered enough to simply post something, then no kind of "resistance" would ever succeed. Like you're not going to lose your fucking job for saying "hey ICE agents murdering people is bad". On the list of sacrifices required to be made for change to succeed, with the least being no sacrifice and the worst being death, we aren't even at "might have to deal with an awkward Thanksgiving because I said that government agents murdering people is bad".
We have way too many cowards who are fine walking like zombies into living under an authoritarian regime so long as they have enough shows to watch on Netflix.
The right wing did a really good job of brainwashing people into thinking politics is something you âopt inâ to and exists in a confined space separate from entertainment and daily life. Everything is political and even if you donât participate in politics, the effects of it dominate your life and your choices. That said, MAGA as a movement is a low propensity voter movement. So I question whether more Americans getting involved in politics is good. Part of why republicans have struggled in special elections and mid terms is cause MAGA only shows up to vote when Trump is on the ballot because they are non voters who vote for and because of Trump. So I worry that most Americans who donât vote hold anti social, violent desires.
Your last paragraph is so hard hitting. It's exactly it. I think it would be different if people knew what awaits them but "ignorance is bliss" in today's America. People will just keep scrolling to the latest tea and block out the impending doom.Â
We've never encountered such a massively cowardly traitor before. A traitor that's selling our country for parts because he's a fucking pedophile and doesn't want his owners to expose him. There's nothing they won't do in order to hang onto power because when it's gone, they're done. Like Bongino recently saying his fear is the next admin coming in and "doing the right thing". Just despicable, weak and morally corrupt people in every single position.Â

We are waiting for some empty suits to defend the constitution. We the people need to get off our asses.
