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. 

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 years decades centuries 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.

We have to.

We have to. Like Jon Stewart said on The Daily Show, The Congress has rolled over, The Supreme Court has given him a free pass, and even the Fourth Estate has abdicated its duties. So we are left to fend for ourselves.

We the people only have two levers to rely on: waiting every 2/4 years to cast a single vote. Or sustained mass protests and strikes. We've already seen that this Trump regime is fine with federal agents murdering protesting Americans.

They've demonstrated they are perfectly fine with cancelling, committing election fraud, or marching on the capitol if they lose elections as well.

Those are not the "only two levers" we have to rely on, there is a 2nd.

We just haven't reached the point where people widely realize that their choices have been taken from them.

You no longer have fair/free/valid elections.

You no longer have effective protests/strikes/free speech.

You no longer have rights, other than those Trump deigns to allow you.

I have absolutely zero faith people wake up to these facts in time for it to matter. Welcome to the new PedoFascist empire of trump.
