Lemmy is for some reason overcome with peak electoralism brainrot and thinks that instead of being the barest fucking minimum of effort, voting is actually the peak of political praxis. Frankly, it’s bizarre.
There’s no law against saying things like, “we should all get together on courthouse squares across the country for collective action next weekend” that would persecute Lemmy. But people are no longer interested in collective action, it seems.
It’s hard to take action if you’re just one MAGA shithead with a gun (or oversized truck) away from either death or life-destroying debt. Even worse, your police force is badly trained and known to be full of shit. Civil disobedience blocking roads or doing similar, peaceful options come with an immediate threat to life and limb.
And picking up a gun yourself to potentially defend yourself against the state is whole other caliber of action, you’re basically forced into an insurrection.
Without these fears I’m sure there would be more action. I’ve just witnessed my city of Hamburg, Germany, basically blocking the whole center with up to 80.000 people as a reaction to the so-called “christian democrats” and neolibs working together with the AfD nazis in Berlin (who failed). Because the only thing we have to fear are crazy truck drivers and another nazi regime. Hell, we can even blockade streets without previous permission without the police getting out guns or batons (they will use ‘pain compliance holds’ though; not everything is perfect).
I really hope that, after this deep dark nightmare you’re descending into, you’ll get better and go above and beyond with democracy and FAIR economics, learning from your past mistakes and enshrining safeguards into a newly reformed constitution. Like Germany did.
Republicans control all three branches of government. There is not a chance they will give any of that up voluntarily. And people still think elections will be in any way fair and free.
Yes!
Jfc, no…
What the fuck more will it take for people to understand that you can’t vote fascism away???!!!
Yes. Please don’t vote. Send the dems a message! It’ll surely make everything better
Trump vote with a MAJORITY of votes this time.

Since you can’t say guillotines, or the law would persecute Lemmy itself. If it happens, it won’t be televised, that’s for sure.

More? I haven’t seen any.
There will be no more fair voting in the US with Elon controlling the US IT infrastructure

Surely if we ask politely they’ll go away right? I mean, happened with hitler, mussolini, and also with franco! Specially with him!
