tbh, most of the internal damage is done. the checks and balances are gone completely. I guess maybe the midterms might provide some opportunity to change things, but those are a ways away and i doubt they can do much. might even backfire if it lets trump blame someone else for the negative impacts that are coming.

the best thing now is probably for the shit to actually hit the fan and let the people feel the effects of all this bullshit - and thankfully maga is moving so hard and fast on all of this that it's going to be very hard for them to lie the effects and blame away.

I think that’s probably true but holy fuck, the lack of reaction is disheartening. Need a bunch of Luigis.

This ends with people who used to be liberals wearing uniforms pointing guns down at the people inside the walls though because they were just following orders and they rolled the fuck over when it was time to fight. I just can't buy that the way forward is to let it get worse. The next step in worse is the military and it's over if they're able to remake the military in their image. Any action to stop this now, probably stops that from happening.
 
I mean there have been some protests. They will continue.

But for me tbh i'm at the point where I think people need to feel the pain to wake up to what's happened.

Before i was scared about the system breaking beyond all repair.....but it's fully broken now. It needs to be rebuilt and that's going to take some soul-changing by a whole lotta people.

And that can't happen unless maga policies are acutally implemented and hurt people unfortunately.

The best hope I have is that all the other democratic powers can resist this maga surge long enough to witness its effect on america.
 
the one thing i think is very important right now is to make sure everyone keeps receipts of everything they're doing.

they are going to get away with plenty of lying about what they did but we have to be able to hold them to account for much of it.

Marching in the streets on a Sunday afternoon waving placards won't change anything. Bullets need to be shot through heads at this point.
