One thing that has been an eye-opener about all of this is how much cowardice there is in the U.S… It’s easy to talk a big game about free speech and freedom of the press, but when push comes to shove, most buckle.
“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
- Benjamin Franklin
And this is why you never give these people what they want.
Imagine the shitshow if the FCC pulled ABC’s broadcasting license for hurting the administrations feelings. They should have played hard ball.
The government can’t stop ABC from broadcasting… Especially if laws have no meaning…why would they care?
Actually, that makes a lot of sense…
Given that Trump is the best president ever (I’m sure I have heard people say so), then anyone who opposes him is, ipso facto, an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.
The more I think about it, the more obvious it is. I mean, why even have another election?
I’d like to go back to living in a country that isn’t run by a moron who shits their britches.
I’m more concerned about the child fucking.
Now that’s what I call Facism

Fucking do it. When the only news feed people have access to is state sponsored Fox News and AI generated MAGA memes on Facebook maybe we’ll get enough people waking up to make a difference.
My brother in christ. They are pulling people from the streets. They are re-writing what schools have to teach. They are removing references to an inconvenient history (slavery). They are calling for civil uprising. They are denominating opposing political groups as terrorists.
If people haven’t snapped out of it now, they definitely won’t when only state sponsored news is on the air.
I am not 100% sure about that. I could see some growing quite bored with their options and maybe waking up. I can see some falling into The Algorithm and getting way, way radicalized into more Nazi stuff.
But yeah, if Taco even takes away the soma, it might be that some people get well and truly pissed. At him. And the Republicans and the conservatives that are destroying this country.
Yeah, admittedly it is probably wishful thinking on my part.
No, the majority will blindly consume whatever’s the easiest to get access to.
The US is officially the North Korea of the western hemisphere.
Team North Korea World Police
Um… forgot about UK?
UK is North Korea of the West’s little brother.
What a dumbfuck; doesn’t realize everybody is against him.
Just watch how 51% of voters will vote for him again, because the opposing party’s candidate isn’t a saint actually and might have some flaws.
Hahaha, who am I kidding, there will be no next free election, nobody will need to vote anymore.yeah, after reading your comment, I realize I meant something slightly different than I wrote. So to clarify… a lot of people are on-board with the “policies” he’s pursuing since the policy is always some variation of “crime with impunity” for people on his side. There are hordes of people who want to get in on that. Nevertheless, they don’t like him, don’t trust him, don’t believe anything he says; and they wouldn’t hesitate to stick a knife in his back if a better option emerged.
Not everybody, apparently a lot of americans are ok with all this.
I mean, if they weren’t ok with it there’d be a visibly decent amount of push back about it all. Yet all they’ve done is post memes, and went out and had a walkabout with some signs a few months ago.That’s because a lot of this hasn’t really started to affect them yet. Sure he has his merry band of loyal supporters but there’s also a lot of people who are just not really very politically aware and aren’t paying attention.
Think about your grandparents or if you’re old enough just your parents. They sit around watching fox news and seeing posts on Facebook and they assume that those are viable sources of trustworthy information. Which obviously they are not.
At some point in the next few years they will start to wonder why the shelves are always empty now, and why are the products they do have so expensive? Also why are so many businesses closing, I was told the economy was doing well.
Getting the media to lie for you only works for so long.

And fox/oan/whatever will convince them it’s because of the illegal trans immigrants and they’ll vote for whichever fascist shows up after Trump dies.

For Hitler, it worked until the Russians were literally on top of him and he was putting a bullet in his own head. And this was after years of his cities being bombed into rubble.
He’s gonna do to TV what he has done to manufacturing. What a guy.
We can’t pull licenses for death threats to homeless people, that provoked the murder of them, but we can for this? I don’t know what the disconnect here is for people to not be terrified of this administration and the direction it is going, that they aren’t becoming active in opposition. Oppose the politics, the businesses, the media, the communities and the people who support this. There will be no safe spaces from the violence of the state and it’s allies. They must be disempowered before it gets to that point.
That’s means voting in every election you are eligible to across all levels of government and for politicians who are clearly and absolutely opposed to this and are actively opposing it. That means taking actions that confirm the integrity of the democratic system and taking actions to make it known and work to make sure it is.
That means spending money only at businesses who are clearly and absolutely opposed to this are actively opposing it.
That means disengaging from media sources that provide content that supports this fascism, gives voice to those that do and that does not openly and actively impose it. They have crossed so many lines already that it should not even need to be said that it is already too far.
That means only engaging in communities that are clearly and absolutely opposed to this and are actively opposing it.
That means only maintaining relationships with people who are clearly and absolutely opposed to this and are actively opposing it.
Doing this looks different for everyone and only individuals can figure out the details of moving their life towards resisting the fascist takeover of the American civilization, it is not just the government, it is the entire civilization.
If I asked what you are doing in your daily life to better oppose this shit, and you have no answer, then you failing yourself, your country and the future generations that will have to suffer under the boot of dictatorship. You are not alone in this, there are allies all around you, but we all need to start walking the direction we know we need to go to find each other on the path.
The best time to start was yesterday, the second best time is today.
We are fucking terrified. Please tell us what you’re doing since apparently you’re the only one who knows what to do
The challenge is that workers in the States aren’t sufficiently organized to weather a general strike (much less coordinate to start one). So how do we get sufficient mutual aid in place so that workers have the support they need to strike?
It doesn’t even feel like the number is rising substantially since I’ve been following this website.
What an awful mobile site. The don’t is so big there’s 1-2 words per line
So long, freedom of speech.
Another day another treason
Threatens seems like a more appropriate word than floats.
