Nobody's actually gotten into "good trouble". Lawful protests aren't even close to "trouble". Brown-shirts snatching people, verdicts being ignored, and we've got signs and scream. I really believe we've already lost. What're we gonna do when they take libs' guns? File a lawsuit? We're lame.
You’re sounding hopeless
Maybe. I just don't think we're doing enough to ACTUALLY STOP what is happening. It's not hopeless, but "you'll never take back your country with weakness" sure had some truths, and I just don't think we're radical enough or organizing in the bold way necessary. I'm protesting, but it's not enough.
DAS stimmt allerdings,ihr müsst alle viel mehr tun..ihr müsstet vielleicht einfach unbequem werden..indem ihr Abläufe des täglichen Lebens,durch"Kleinigkeiten verhindert!Ähnlich wie die Klimaaktivisten,die sich einfach mit Klebstoff auf die Straßen geklebt haben..und nix lief mehr..eine kleine Idee!
Your right! Americans have had it to easy for too long! They really don’t know what real hardship is! When they start the mass evictions and so called deportations of citizens, then it will be to late‼️😳
Ja die schrittweise angewandten Rückzüge der Demokratie und die Übernahme von mehr restriktiven Entscheidungen,anstelle dessen---führen am Ende zu einer glasklaren DIKTATUR!!Die Judikative wird immer mehr eingeschränkt bzw. ersetzt durch loyale Richter-und zack ist der Faschismus nicht weit...!!!
Sie haben recht! Der erste Schritt hat hier bereits stattgefunden!
Fear of facism lead my father & grand father from speaking or teaching us german when we were young!Even though my Great-great grandfather immigrated here during the civil war( this is why i use a translator🤗)

I think we're already there. We're deporting people for dissent, and now what they might think in the future. "..determination is the alien’s past, current, or expected beliefs.." www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news... ---- www.cnn.com/2025/04/10/u... ------ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
I believe that we're going to need to do more than outlandish protests. It has to be forceful and definitive. They're armed and have power on their side. We need to match that with actual force. Nothing less will do.
I’ve been banging the drum for two months that the only thing that will work is a general strike for extended periods of time, people walking out on jobs, people stop buying-and making THIS COUNTRY COME TO A STANDSTILL. But every day goes by and we slip further and further, no one will sacrifice.
I think it's past the pocketbook strategy. We need a revolt.
Because this is happening right now. www.reddit.com/r/50501/s/EB...
And it won't get better until we actually DO something. Brown shirts snatching people off the streets and sending them god knows where.
You sound exactly like some of the stuff that I’ve been reading about the Black Panther party and the black liberation army, and I think you’re exactly right. They literally disregard every option that we have for peaceful protest.
Joyce Vance, either yesterday or day before, finally said we're in a Constitutional crisis. April. And she's just now feeling this enough to say it definitively until now. We've seen this from day one. Lame people in power.
It is but ☝️ of the tools in the tool kit. We need to do everything, we need to be everywhere, we need to be in their way, all the time. The problem is 2/3 of the country is asleep. Remember the outrage for Ukraine? where is that? Everything just blows by after a day or two.
George Floyd murder protests are close to a start in my book.
