It’s not like I expect people to firebomb federal buildings or start shooting at soldiers or whatever but it feels like everyone is just waiting around for someone else to do something. This is really our response to authoritarianism taking over? Seriously?

It's kind of like police waiting around for a crime to happen. You can't do anything until something illegal has happened. No military has been near where I live. If they do, I'll be there.

Apathy like Russia, China, North Korea, Saudi Arabia and many banana republics.

Imagine being a Black and Brown person in DC trying to breath, but not giving these racists and fascists a reason to gun them down. Get white people to do it.

Too many Democrats, liberals, and even leftists — including myself — have too much to lose. It seems like peacefully marching is the ceiling when it comes to anti-authoritarian action from the opposition. Not optimistic our side won’t just roll over when people start getting killed.

That's what we've been doing for YEARS! For me, it started with thinking the Mueller Report would be his downfall followed by impeachment, Jan 6 trials, Garland, etc etc......waiting, waiting, waiting!

Too much too lose but at some point I will have nothing to lose and that includes a life in an authoritarian country. We're not there yet. Question about when we get there. Scotus is happy to enable it seems.

With violence you feed into their game. That's why Hitler had to manufacture it. Why Trump faked his assassination. More to come!

Sit down and do nothing, buy nothing, unsubscribe to their shit. I've already killed all subscriptions starting with Amazon. No purchases other than strictly necessary. It topples CEOs. Ask Target how that went. Too many CEOs get toppled? WE ARE THE PEOPLE!

We've never been here before in our lifetimes at least. that's what happened in the 60s, troops fired on and fired on civilians, draft centers were bombed, students took over college administration buildings. massive protests too. But that was after men came home in body bags for years from VN.

Black peoples traditionally have LED DISSENT in America. White people delivered this problem to America two times. They had better get busy, or they’ll be attending a coronation or concentration camp soon.

There will come a time soon when somehow that first domino will fall over. By chance, or intent. And when it goes, it’s going to cause a HUGE reckoning!

Once that door opens, it will be hard to close it. There is so much built up anger, anguish, distrust, it will be the beginning of God knows what at this point.
