    Same headline every day: Facist leader brings America further into Facism. Americans do nothing.

      Some Americans are resisting in tons of different ways. There have been 24/7 “music festivals” (ICE protests that get labeled as music festivals because Tiktok will take down videos tagged with protests.) in LA and Portland for months now. Americans have been shot defending their neighbors, ICE agents have been shot.

      It’s important to remember that the Billionaires control the news and they won’t air anything that makes it look like the common folk have a chance of resisting.

      C’mon man, you know Americans always do the right thing.

      Once they’ve tried everything else.

        Something? Anything? Stop acting like this is normal and going about your daily lives like this is something that will blow over on its own.

        An unorganized response to Jimmy Kimmel being silenced for insulting dear leader got him back on the air pretty quickly. Imagine what could be done with an organized response.

        Be prepared to do things that will get you arrested. Sorry, you didn’t do a damn thing when you were less at risk. You waited too long to fight. Now it’s going to be harder and you’re going to have to stop worrying about losing your job and maintaining your comfortable lifestyle. You and people like you are responsible for having let it get to this point.

            Be real with me for a second.

            Are you 1) legitimately clueless about what you could be doing (in which case, honestly, I don’t care if they put you in an unmarked van), or 2) trying to bait me into saying something that‘a going to get me a ban (in which case, honestly, I don’t care if they put you in an unmarked van)?
