Starvation. We know raping children isn’t enough. We know that them breaking laws isn’t enough. We know killing civilians on the streets isn’t enough. We know disappearing people isn’t enough. We know these people looting the country isn’t enough. STARVATION - even then there will be some die-hard supporters of this corrupt regime.

Lately, I’ve been wondering more and more often what it would take for the American people to oust this regime from office.

Instead, use the threat of starvation to hinder those who would move agains them and now you have absolute control.

Given the current rate of obesity, starvation will take a loooong time.

American people to accept that violence is inevitable and to make the administration and oligarchs in general fear for their lives

If there are enough people behind it, all you need is a Non-Cooperation Movement.
The regime will just leave themselves.Except that they learnt their lesson after the last time and divided people enough and indoctrinated enough of them to make this not happen this time.

If no change: Same chance/percentage as them ousting the Biden regime, or the Bush regime, or the Clinton regime etc. In fact, they are all the same fascist/Oligarch lead regime and all policies are shaped in for-profit think tanks. It have been like that since the ‘end’ of WW2. The US regimes control of the western information sphere is way too high for any serious dissent threat to arise.
Main event that would work is when the US ponzi-economy chrashes and every Merican suddenly have to face a reality that does NOT look like what was presented/promised in the Oligarchs information outlets.
Right now, US fascist regime are losing all their global hegemony Wars - political, economic, militarily, tech/AI, energy, science etc - and the Dollar ARE going to crash hard. In the Ponzi scheme, Dollar demand though ME oil and reserve currency are the main driver of US hegemony (and their ability to give them selves endless loans/pay for their control/propaganda schema), and when Iran shifts the finance of the middle east to Yuan, the petro-dollar and hence the entire US ponzi-scheme economics - collapses like a house of cards.
US are moving towards the biggest crash in history, and that should do the trick of the youth/poor rising up - even if no-one understands what is happening to them.
Everyone in the US and in their sphere of propaganda/influence, should prepare for the worst.

The people who voted him in are completely underwater in an ocean of perceived victimhood and exist in a state of existential distress and panic. Trump’s followers and the MAGA movement aren’t guided by morals or any particular set of virtues or personal conviction. They are victims of a culture war of their own creation and they are losing. They equate a the takeover of a sane government and righting-of-the-ship with death. They are not guided by logic or reason, they’re guided by fear.
You can’t look at these people and think “What’s it going to take?” As if there is some line somewhere that could be crossed that will change their minds. Thats not an option in the table. If saner heads prevail once again, it’s an indictment of their behavior and it means the death of the culture they’ve tried so hard to save. You wouldn’t look at a scared, cornered animal and ponder what it will take for it to stop being hostile.
On the other Shane, it’s important to understand that the people who elevated this regime to power are not representative of “The American People” as a whole, and the American system of government was not designed to put the full faith of the people into the president for an entire term. The fact that the midterms are happening this year, halfway through the presidents turn is not a coincidence, it’s a design baked into our system of government because the framers of the constitution understood that public sentiment can and will change more often than once every four years. And while it’s too early to know for sure, you can take solace in the fact that “the American people” have seemingly swung hard away from Trump since 2024, likely as a direct response to this administration, the same as last time.
