        I don’t actually think that is all that’s needed. Trump is a symptom. He didn’t write Project 2025. He’s not the one with these ideas.

            It would actually make things much worse. This cult goes beyond Trump now. They will absolutely rally around whoever succeeds him. People need to stop underestimating fascist propaganda.

          Correct. Killing Hitler would not have stopped WW2, and killing Trump doesn’t solve America’s problems.

          I would party for a week solid if that fucker caught a bullet, but it’s not a solution in itself.

            We could have been partying in July, but some high school kid couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn apparently.

          True, but his cult of personality is integral to the power to keep everyone in line.

          Insufficiently deferential Republican congresscritters won’t be successfully primaried because of a mean tweet from Jericho Johnson, John Thune or the couch fucker.

          You’d really want it to be a series of smaller bangs on lower-level state figures. Less important, less protected, but still mission critical.

      1. Joining and organizing within your local community to create connections with others is incredibly powerful, will lay the groundwork for effective resistance.
      2. We can effect things drastically with a general strike. This can massively impact their income streams, and can bring a government to its knees if done on a large enough scale.
      3. Join the IWW and attempt to unionize your workplace, so that the general strike is even more effective.

      If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Join up with allies while we still can easily!

        These comments are so ridiculous. People don’t just get up and revolt, it takes a fucking lot to get that point.

        Peaceful resistance is much more effective at this stage, as much as I wish this madness would just go away, and as much as I wish the resistance was stronger in the US.

        Any revolt right now would not have enough support to succeed. It’s a stupid idea being spammed by angry keyboard warriors who wouldn’t walk the walk if the shoe were flipped. You’re full of shit.

        The problem is that no matter how right you are, the Second Amendment does not provide any guarantees for your safety after the fact. Someone has to be prepared to die to go through with it, because they’re not taking a 2A invoker alive. There would never be a trial.
