Don’t give into the doom that Trump & Musk want us to have. They want us thinking we’ve already lost so we don’t try to stop them, but the fight ain’t over till it’s over. We the people have power if we’re willing to use it
Join on the streets, take a part in boycotts, join strikes, etc.
This is only “doom and gloom” if you’ve given up and resigned yourself to inaction.
IMO, the worst possible response is ignoring reality and entertaining the fantasy that an election 3.5 years away could overthrow a fascist dictatorship that is doing everything you would do if you never planned on facing accountability, justice, or (fair) elections ever again.
IMO, the worst possible response is believing elections or bi-monthly protests are the only plausible way to remove a fascist dictatorship. There are many options, and Americans are already at the point that warrants a permanent general-strike. The corruption, authoritarianism, and treason to their constitutional oath is on full display for all to see. There should be a million people camped around capitol hill and every single Republican politicians home and office — every single SC justice — right now, PEACEFULLY demanding their immediate resignation/abdication, and new elections.
… and if the above fails, and the fascists resort to violence and terrorism to crush the protestors, that’s when the gloves should come off and the protestors should be prepared to forcefully remove the fascists, by any means necessary. That is literally the entire reason the 2nd amendment exists at all.
Every tyrant in history has proven that they’re either paper tigers who collapse (usually by fleeing) under the weight of opposition (often internal)… or choose violence, and should be met with violence.
But we also can’t just wait and think everything will be fine by next election.
The current administration wants us to be a dictatorship. When they talk about third term, they wants us to hey used to the fact that he will stay in power until his death.
Elections are far too useful as a form of control for the state to dispense with them. Virtually every country on earth has elections, even if they’re just sham elections for show. If you’re a dictator or aspiring dictator, you’re generally much better off having some pretence of democratic legitimacy than just coming out and announcing yourself as president for life.
So far the regime has done a ton of things that hurt its own legitimacy for basically no reason, from defunding USAid to dismantling DEI programs to destroying the administrative state for a the sake of pennies in savings. Those are all extremely useful to the government, just like elections, but they’re evil-liberal-deep-state-woke whatever and so they have to be stopped.
itt: we are completely fucked and this might be the end of america… but i ain’t voting for her! she better personally bless every toilet as transgender compatible and become a member of hamas before i vote for her!

I agree, but those things aren’t voting.
Voting is over. It’s time to do something else.

If we give up, you are right, there won’t be any.
