Get out if you can.
If not, get a rifle and start learning to fly drones.
Fascist focuing their efforts on anti fascists isn’t the win they think it is.
They know they’re fucking cooked in the midterms and probably 2028. The closer they are to losing power the more dangerous they’re going to get.
We should all be prepared for violence and for a long struggle against these fucks.
Cute… they will simply “win” massively in the midterms, no matter the actual votes. Then the media will publish totally ridiculous stories “analyzing” the reasons. And the complacent population will majorily accept it.
Yes, be prepared for violence if you believe and want to defend democacy. But don’t fool yourself into expecting that you won’t be mostly alone.
The reddit defeatists are here.
If you want to give up, go do that somewhere silently. Because when you post online about how there is no hope and all is lost, you sound like a propoganda bot.
Telling people all is well, elections will turn out great, they don’t need to do anything, and -most importantly!- they don’t need to be prepared for any actual kind of resistence, because the fascist regime taking over the US will totally not cheat, lie and break laws to stay in power is the sane thing to do now.
And people actually warning that you need to be prepared for action and can’t hope that a big majority will solve the issues for you are the defeatists and propaganda bots.
That doesn’t make any kind of sense.
Seriously… have you never thought about actually questioning the updated storylines when your troll farm gets new orders once? Or have you just given up on any standards by now reasoning that enough people are now so close to brain dead that just screaming some idiotic lie often enough will make it real?
Sure… being prepared to defend democracy is defeatism. And war is peace, freedom is slavery […]. You idiots really took a dire warning and made it your manual.
Silence, bot.
Cute… another troll paid per comment.

Maybe but how about you ease it on the doom and gloom and those of us that can do something do what we can
When talk about what will very probably happen is already overwhelming you with doom and gloom then I don’t want to guess your reaction to the actual reality of it happening.
Sorry that I have to tell you, but right now you can still learn to cope, prepare and accept what will happen. Getting surprised by reality because even now you can’t handle it without a lot of unfounded optimism will be a much harsher awakening.
Maybe, but history is full of populations that were pretty docile… Until they weren’t.
I’ve personally seen how patience and complacency in a supremely calm individual can evaporate when things are tight. People who are always careful and taking care of the long term abandoning all of that if they feel desperate in a situation.
If the ballot box doesn’t work as promised by the existing social contract, that will be the last straw for some people. Particularly if asshats like Stephen Miller keep up the violent rhetoric about exactly how terrible they want to be to any dissenters. That’s a lot of fear, rage, and impotence for folks to get hit with, and it has a much higher risk of bubbling over than you would imagine.
I’ll confess to thinking I’m personally unlikely to risk things, but other people have surprised me
Exactly. Remember '24 felt off? They fucking took that shit with Vlad and Elon’s help. Why would they not rig '26?
“We can and we must identify and map this threat and rebuild our counterterrorism architecture to defeat it,” Rubio said, describing a transnational threat from groups who target politicians and infrastructure that he said were motivated by a hatred of the West and its success.
What fucking nonsense. If the Left is just made up of malcontents who are jealous of the West’s “success,” why are more and more Westerners joining the Left? Do they hate their own “success?” Or, could it be that not all of us have shared in this supposed “success.” Maybe “the West” doesn’t describe a civilization or a culture, but a class. A class of greedy, genocidal sociopaths.
If they came out and honestly said “we will focus our antiterrorism efforts on suppressing workers’ attempts to organize” their cult rubes might smell something fishy (but probably wouldn’t).
The rubes don’t realize they are going to be harmed by conservative schemes, but in the meantime, they get to thrill about the harm being done to those they have been trained to blame all their problems on. They think immigrants, gays, liberals, uppity women are the cause of them peaking in high school.
According to the US Congress reports, 75-80% of all political violence in the US is right-wing originated.

So, let’s go after the 20-25%, who are also less effective at causing serious harm. /s
Yup, fascists are calling from inside the House.
Just more proof that these white supremacist misogynist fascists hate America and all of its people except for the white magat trash.
They’ll do everything they can to destroy our rights and our lives.
They’re not going after those either. They plan to go after left wing voters.

Yeah, of course that’s what they will focus on.
Despite the findings from W’s admin, and that Obama had to downplay, because conservatives were butthurt about it. Which is that conservatives are the terrorist threat.
Of course they are. Remember when they murdered some firefighters out in Idaho last year and the media reported on it for .5 seconds? Or when they shot up the newspaper office in Baltimore? Or when they mass murdered people at a grocery in Buffalo?
The list goes on and on. You can find multiple right wing terrorist attacks from every year for the last 30 years and the media and average Americans just let them get away with it. The GOP actively protects them.
The magats constantly send death treats to local public officials and election volunteers. Their social media feeds are full of violent fantasies about beating immigrants, shooting liberals, “jokes” about the death penalty for people they disagree with.
They made bumper stickers of Kamala being bound up and thrown in a fucking trunk. They think ICE is “based” because they murder Americans and innocent immigrants. They’ve been primed for violence by their manipulative terroristic media.
Meanwhile a couple BLM protestors burn a trash can and the magat enablers in the media won’t stfu up about it. The media needs to investigated for aiding and abetting these bloodthirsty terrorists.
The most terroristic american administration want to counter terrorism?
I remember when that maga guy murdered a member of congress and the administration didnt care.
It’s not just the political system that’s fucked.
The longer they leave this national shutdown, the worse it gets.
No point running away either because it’s coming for the rest of us as well and they’re the only ones that can stop it.
Evacuate the US while you still can
Yep, run from your problem and hide behind others, after telling them to mind their own business about it. Then get shitty when they disapprove.
That’d be what I’d expect from Americans.
Well, who knows,!it’s not like they were exactly great at dealing with terrorism prior to this
