Since November, that’s when the electorate decided to stab itself in the chest with a rusty knife, these are the spasms of non-vaccinated tetanus, also with signs of gangrene.

Who needs housing, medicare, tourism, foreign relations, chips, rare earths, democracy, independent media, uncensored internet, demilitarized police, social security, general education, affordable higher education, a clean environment, worker’s rights, women’s rights, sexual freedom, separations of powers, separation of church and state and probably a couple dozen other things anyway?

Even if living so far away, and ever since January nearly everyone is seeing how everyday that chudfucker and his cult are wrecking that country from the inside out, and really a few are very happy about it, awaiting for that country to implode.

It makes me so sad man. I’m so poor and have no healthcare and I have no idea what to do. I can’t even walk most days because of my crippling disability and I still go to protests but it’s not enough. I live in a car — truly the American dream.

When’s the revolution you all needed guns for?
Credibly_Human@lemmy.world 11 hours ago
Never.
The people with the guns feel like discrimination is when people ostracize them for being bigoted as fuck.
The people without the guns have been baked mentally into not only thinking violence is not the answer, but strikes, civil disobedience, or even mentioning politics “”“at the wrong time”“” are not answers as well.
This will go to its logical conclusion of trump having absolute control, no one fighting back, people ending up in death camps, and all that will matter to the rest of us at that point is whether or not we can convince the US to keep it within their borders (they won’t, and Im not sure what happens there, but I am afraid).
Fascism requires an out group, and once they’ve killed or subjugated all their black and brown people (a huuuge chunk of their population), they’ll find some other group to attack.
I think a huge part of the problem is that us, marginalized groups, we can’t fucking agree to band together. LGBTQ2S+ will have crazy things like ostracizing bisexuals, or like being prejudice towards black people. Black people return the favour as they have Latino people who are prejudiced against them and other latino people. Heck there are various groups of black people who are prejudiced against other groups of black people.
When you look at crazy shit like the numbers of Cubans who support trump, its because just like all of his other voters, their single voter issue is that they hate some other demographic of people more than they care about any other subject. That is how they were able to ignore the red flags.
Until marginalized people realize that the strength they have in numbers can indeed not find some magical compromise that excludes the specific group of people they hate, there is no way they’ll have any noteworthy resistance, and this is as the regime consolidates more power and removes more and more of them from their ranks such that they won’t be sabotaged from within.

They need them to yap about freedom
tempest@lemmy.ca 18 hours ago
That, and to pull them out during road rage incidents. Also pull them out when you’re scared of a black person. Don’t forget take them to school to get revenge.
They need them for a lot of reasons.

Lemminary@lemmy.world 14 hours ago
The people threatening the revolution for government overreach have collectively decided that they like this, actually. Go figure.

75% of Americans are overweight or obese. Over 40% are obese. They will never revolt.

I read it as, the media helped get Trump elected in 2016 because it benefitted them financially. Maybe i’m wrong.

The GP is living in a more normal time when the media amplified disasters to fill the available time.
They’ll eventually come to 2025, then the media summarizes disasters to fill the available time.

It scares the shit out of me. Until mass adoption of the Internet started showing me behind the curtain, America seemed good. Like it felt like the capital city of the world.
I know thats purely because they had Hollywood and exported culture, and like people on social media they only show the good parts, but still. Seeing what it is now either means it was never really good, or the good times are now over. Either way its taken a massive toll on my overall optimism levels.
