Yeah, if he doesn't leave and a revolution breaks out, how many people are seriously willing to risk their life in favor of a dictatorship lead by an 82 year old pedophile? Not even near as many who are willing to risk their lives to defend their freedom from fascist persecution. One side would be fighting to defend 1 man's ego, while the other side would be fighting to defend everyone else's life. Things don't end well for dictators who lose a revolution.
It does not matter if he is alive or not. The mechanisms to keep the power are already in place. The US democratic system -which was flawed to begin with- was not capable of holding back an authoritarian group. Not unlike Germany. Italy, Serbia, Russia and some other countries have seen happen to themselves in the past. In the end, all populist regimes collapse. Their leaders are in the game for the power, without a proper agenda or goal.
it matters to them, their figurehead being more important than the constitution emboldens that kind of person, if he were to die, their cowardice would rule the day again until the next strongman insurrectionist.
Any vote that doesn't go the way Trump wants will be discredited and Trump will appoint a person in the winner's place. He is reading from the Hitler manuscript that was provided to him by Putin
Sorry, but you seem to working under the misconcecption that anyone with the power to do something cares enough about this to do anything. Your video won't be taken down - it will simply be ignored.
Kind of strange for the guy to act like his video might be taken down by the powers than be, when all of this information is publicly available, has been covered in the news, and is obvious to all but the most thick-headed individuals. But, tiktok. Gotta push the drama.
Publicly available doesn’t mean anyone noticed. Like publicly available news about Trumps mistress, his cheating University and charity, his fraud convictions, his buddy Epstein, his thoughts about the troops, his empowerment of “alternate” electoral voters, his stealing the secret US records and his army invading the Capitol did not affect the last election.
Yes, because they were willing to go with the fraudulent, cheating child rapist over the woman of colour being president. America's got problems, man. Don't try to downplay them by saying people didn't know. They knew. They just never thought they'd be the ones getting raped.
"Trump has no intent of leaving the white house in 28."
Why would he? The next presidential term doesn't start until Jan 20, 2029. It'd be silly of him to leave early, though I hope he does and doesn't have a choice in the matter.
Statistically speaking no country that has voted in fascism has ever been successful in voting it out. By all means if u can find a contradiction to that statement, id love to see it
Even if the votes process does not fully work, there will be records of how many people voted for who. That would add A LOT of legitimacy to what will have to happen afterward. Yes that legitimacy is important, stop your black and white thinking. We will need proof that we are actually speaking on behalf of the majority precisely because the establishment will try to lie about it.
Frankly.....you guys fucked it all up a very long time ago! Ford pardoning Nixxon, Reagan, the constant insider trading in congress, 80+ years old congresspeople getting rolled into the capitol not knowing where they are. Sherriffs, beriching themselves with prisons, inmates, forced labour. Gunned down kindergardeners yet the holy 2nd ammendement must stand against a tirannical government....well where the fuck is the NRA now?!
A nation built on violence...you never stood a chance!
He's trying very hard to transfer voting rights from states to the federal level. His SAVE America act is a step to limit your voting rights. He can be stopped in the mid term elections. Be careful who vote for in primaries. Vet their background so you don't vote for a false Democrat like John Fetterman.
Voting is the ground floor, bare minimum civic duty. Regardless how long of a shot it might seem that voting would actually do anything, everyone who can, must.
If we get to vote, there is talk about creating an emergency before the midterms to stop them, his stupid ass address about election interference was laying the groundwork for what is to come later.
They also know that if they betray the system and try to hold on to power, it becomes a very visible hostile act that a lot of the country will get pissed about. What they need is for the system to look damaged enough that general pop isn't sure if they might be telling the truth when they lie about who won. If people think incorrect results are plausible, that maybe the party that didn't win but claims they did might have actually won, they won't react strongly. That's why they're breaking it.
Voting and winning, AND Trump refusing to leave will radicalize the normies to get them on board with a real resistance. If we don't vote and Trump wins "democratically" (even if unconstitutionally) he will have a "mandate" in propaganda and normies will go back to hiding.
We absolutely have to *try* to vote our way out of this. Whether a successful vote solves anything depends entirely on whether or not the administration is willing to listen - and if they're not, that demands action. But it doesn't mean a gods' damned thing if we don't give them something to listen to first. Right now they're riding the high of a red sweep, and acting with the according impunity. We vote them out first - the violence comes if that's ignored.
And if instead we're not given the chance to vote? That's them signalling that they don't care early. The beatings can officially commence until they do.
Ok but this post is saying that you might have to fight back and that voting isn't going to do anything. He controls everything that would be put in place to stop him.
I believe a civil war in the modern US will likely result in the deaths of tens of millions of non-combatants and reduce the country to rubble. That's why I'll vote and campaign and protest and hope that the Trump admin will collapse under its own incompetence and cowardice before going for my gun.
I agree. I do hope you will prepare for their inevitable refusal to recognize the election, though. Just remember that. He's not going away. None of them are.
Even under Democratic “leadership,” tens of millions will soon die just due to water issues (too much/too little).
The thing you must understand is that the other side will escalate before we even get to that point. They’ve got ammo stashes and personal armories, while good people don’t want to pick up a single gun.
It’s all cooked. But, still, yeah. Vote. If it didn’t matter, they wouldn’t have worked so hard for so long to try to take away so many people’s ability to do so.
And for those that don't get it: I'm not seeing any serious effort to organize and prepare weapons and ammo for FIGHTING. "Democrats huv guns two!" Yes little buddy, and ICE and the Police and the Army that is now directly loyal to Trump have many many many more <3
It doesn't matter who has more guns. It matters who has more people. The US military has a grand total of 1 million members, many of whom are logistical and support, and have almost NO combat training. And that assumes they'd all fight against their own country. There are about 750,000 police in the USA, total. We should assume every single one will be a piece of shit and shoot Americans.
So we have 1.75 million soldiers and police, against about 260+ MILLION non-Republikkans.
Tell me the facts, then. Tell me how many guns each soldier can wield at any given moment. Do they have twenty arms, and can magically shoot at twenty civilians at once? C'mon dude. There's a reason no fascist government has ever lasted. The people will prevail. They ALWAYS prevail.
Go to your local area's progressive caucus meeting. Look for the angriest people there, ask them what you can do to help, that's how I joined up with my current cell. I'm having range day tomorrow, we finally got another person to arm up and start training.
Anyone smart enough to start any kind of resistance like that, it's also not going to share who's in it or who's doing it. Compartmentalization keeps it going and keeps everyone alive.

Nobody. We all being told to vote instead, but I've been asking myself, what are we the citizens going to do when those in power refuse to leave their office after the midterms? Are we just going to protest even more? Are the military and National Guard going to continue to follow their orders even when the constitution says otherwise? Will they even need to rig the election to win or will simply just refuse to leave?
If he refuses to leave, it will be up to the military to remove him. If the military sides with him, it becomes a military coup, and the US becomes a de facto military dictatorship. Because at that point, the president and the Congress will clearly be "serving" at the pleasure of the military and not the other way around.
That's about all there is to it. "The people" are not going to win a war against a united and organized US military.
First you have to tell them you want them gone, and then, on this ground, you rally them out. If you don't vote then it's like no one told them to leave. Voting is not the solution, it's Step 1 in the recipe of the solution.
Exactly. No vote, no basis to express your rights. That's where many people go wrong. You can't simply spontaneously revolt. You have to prepare the grounds for it to come into fruition. First you make the conditions right for something to happen, and then it happens.
The first person to stand up will die. That is guaranteed. The first thousand to stand up will die. If you're one of the first million, you have a chance to live. But the first ones to stand up will die. And people are not yet ready to die for the cause.
Being asked to die for something is a very big ask. I do not blame ordinary folks for not wanting to die.
If you want to see what Americans will do about a politician refusing to vacate their position - whether because they were voted out or they became medically incapable of performing their duties - you don’t need to search very long to find the answer: absolutely nothing.
The "office" isn't a physical location that has power, it's the actual position. The military doesn't follow the orders of "whoever is currently occupying the White House", they follow the orders of the President.
Like I can’t claim to have been the most proactive ever with it but some thing is better than nothing. Every fire starts with a spark. To be stupidly cliche about it
From my european perspective, resistance ended with Good and Pretti and so many others. If the majority of US Citizens did not wake up by that, nothing will. I see the NATO stepping in already. Which is exactly what Putler wanted. That the NATO turn against the biggest military complex on earth. Most people dont even realise how close we are to WW3.
Everyone that bitches about where are the 2A shouting people at fail to realize this. It's always been the far right that cry about thier guns being taken away when that'll never happen.
I am an armed non magazine well educated US citizen. Where would you like me to go start shooting sir? Im sure my death or lifelong incarceration will instantly put an end to this regime.
How about you do ANYTHING other than bitching and moaning on social media? Sick and tired of looking at what happening across the pond and seeing a lot of whinging and handwringing but no actual action. But sure, try to again push away any responsibility.
Seems a lot of you don’t realize just how ABSOLUTELY FUCKING MASSIVE this country is, and what it would take to get most people fighting, for ANY side.

The big talk 2A guys are almost entirely MAGA and so not interested in resisting this regime

Everyone that bitches about where are the 2A shouting people at fail to realize this. It's always been the far right that cry about thier guns being taken away when that'll never happen.

I am an armed non magazine well educated US citizen. Where would you like me to go start shooting sir? Im sure my death or lifelong incarceration will instantly put an end to this regime.

How about you do ANYTHING other than bitching and moaning on social media? Sick and tired of looking at what happening across the pond and seeing a lot of whinging and handwringing but no actual action. But sure, try to again push away any responsibility.
