Way overdue, frankly.

I mean in principle sure, but this has been happening for almost a year now and barely any escalation has happened. At this point protests are acting as release valves more than anything else.

K.

I agree with you, but you should only comment once so you don’t flood the thread.

Solidarity among evil people, never fails to make me want to puke.

Good, party’s at my place.

The problem runs a lot deeper than who’s running, but if the DNC was the kind of party that would let someone like Walz run for president then yeah Trump wouldn’t be president.

I won’t pretend to know your circumstances, but usually overthrowing dictators requires you to break the law. The work to make that possible starts now.

There are a lot more ways to track people,

Fair enough.

Back then there weren’t a system designed to prevent and punish striking.

There was, we call it Pinkerton, among others. At least now you can organize out in the open.

then there will be fights against private militias and the government again.

There’s no nonviolent class conflict (which is what this needs to be), but the magnitude of the violence will increase exponentially with time as the fascists consolidate power.

Music to my ears.

No that’s the thing: If the problem isn’t solved by the midterms, it’s already checkmate. The main goal of an aspiring dictator like Trump is to disable the system’s checks and balances and prepare for their ultimate seizure of power. Thanks to decades of executive overreach most of the groundwork is already in place, so it’s entirely possible that Trump can get to a point where launching a coup is a realistic prospect by the end of the year, in which case he’s just going to do it because he can’t afford to be removed from power or he’ll be thrown in jail.

Goes really well with shawarma. Also it’s not hard to make if you can’t find it again/want to save money.

The only reason anybody ever had the right to legally strike was due to illegally striking. You’re not worse off than early 20th century trade unionists who literally fought private militias and the military. However, this is what ICE is going to be used for at this rate so y’all don’t have much time.

Lmao.

But when you suggest things they can do (it starts with s and rhymes with trike) all you get are excuses. I’m personally done letting Americans off the hook.

We’ll remove Republican control from the house before then

If that happens Trump will just launch a coup, so it just reduces to fantasy and reality.

I feel I’m getting repetitive with this, but this has always been the case. This latest escapade is basically Iraq but with a veneer of Libya.
