It's all performative so they get their 5 minutes in the headlines without doing anything of substance. They had their chance to legislate protections against big money in politics and prevent this fascist dictatorship, but like all neo-liberals chose to do the bare minimum to be reelected.
Many former two party countries have managed to elect third, fourth and fifth+ parties, usually once the voters are sick enough of being forced to vote for the lesser evil every cycle.
Sure. But being pissed off at non-voters in the last election doesn't get you out of fascism either, waiting for a blue wave in the midterms is also a mistake since the controlled opposition are bought & paid for by the same people.
The only way to rid themselves of fascism is for everyone to put their tools down, go into the streets, and strike until Trump's paymasters have lost enough profit that he isn't worth the trouble anymore.
The political class in congress (including the controlled opposition) are doing the same thing themselves. All of them serve the same masters and don't care that the poors are suffering.
This places the responsibility for getting rid of Trump's regime on the American working class. The longer they bury their head in the sand the worse it will get, even if there's a record breaking swing to the Democrats in November - Trump has already proven that he will ignore Congress and simply lock up anyone who stands in his way.
They are still firmly in denial unfortunately, and think that they can simply wait for the midterms. FFS, Trump didn't even inform the GOP controlled Congress about the Venezuela attack until after it happened.
If you're so opposed to Trump what are you personally doing to oppose him? I mean other than whinging on social media about him that is.
You Americans act all morally superior towards other people who are stuck living under oppressive dictatorships and expect them to rise up, yet when you're in the same position you get offended when told you need to do the same.
There is no voting your way out of fascism. The tyrant will have you killed even if you do nothing because he plans on starting a war with everyone else. You might as well go down fighting back.
The consequences start when a critical mass of workers stop working and are in the streets on general strike, and shooting back if the feds decide to shoot first.
Yes, it will be uncomfortable and will mean that people will not get their paychecks. But staying passive is only going to make it harder in the long run.
The argument is that Americans seem to be either happy with or passively accepting what their country has become. If they were truly against Trump and MAGA they would all be in the streets participating in a general strike already.
From the outside, it seems that there is very little resistance.
Except they've already proven they will blindly follow Trump's orders even if they're illegal. They wouldn't have killed those Venezuelan fishermen or kidnapped Maduro otherwise.
It's time to wake up and understand that there are no checks on Trump's power anymore, Congress and SCOTUS are now subservient to the whims of the orange toddler. The only way back from this is a popular uprising followed by trials of every person who allowed this to happen, as well as extensive de-programming of the MAGA cult followers.
Neither. Even before seeing this I had decided my next GPU will be AMD, just because of how crap Nvidias driver support is on Linux.
