Ah, the USA is so fucking doomed unless as a people we push these facists and grifters out of office.

No it’s not. It’s not too late to start resisting, but every day that ticks by makes it harder.

Now might be a good time to consider using those guns mentionned in your constitution…

That’s always the struggle, just like marching up to the manager’s office to demand better. Yeah you all get fired up and heated in the break room, but when you actually hit the stairs, can you trust them to follow? Or do they just want to complain and keep the status quo?
This irritating effect of individualism and mistrust is why we struggle to cooperate. There’s so few unifying ideals anymore.
The other problem is a simple matter of logistics. How do you actually make your stand to do something good, and not just be a group of easily snuffed rabblerousers that get easily snuffed out, or worse, hurt the people you’re fighting for?
Idiot fascist movements seem far easier to motivate because you simply need to ask “Hate something? Hate everything? Blaming someone else? Show up and scream something to feel like you matter! Violence not guaranteed but encouraged.”
True, we’re collectively against President Musk and his weird little orange purse poodle, but nobody understands practical tactical leadership to actually gain any kind of momentum. Everybody’s just trying to simultaneously shout over the crowd or worse, infighting each other over superficial ideals.
It’s bleak.

Lmao. Good luck with that. You have had since November to gear up for that. You cowards won’t do shit.

Is it a grift? Absolutely. But fascist? Come on now. Overusing that word accomplishes nothing except drain it of all meaning.

The time for “just vote” is long gone. Now people need to actually do something.

The Republicans currently hold 218 seats in the House of Representatives. The Democrats hold 215. Two seats are currently vacant and will be up for special election on April 1st. If the Democrats win those elections then it reduces the Republicans’ lead to a single seat.

That’s cool.
The executive brand doesn’t care about laws and will do things they’re not even allowed to do.
WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Ah well. Better just give up then.
Oh, sorry, “do something.” With a plan like that you can’t fail.

I heard it was 3 seats?
