People need to get it through their head that there will BE NO MIDTERMS.
Trump has done this much in only 9 months, and he still has another 9 to find a way to never have elections again. He’s already got his Reichstag moment with the Charlie Kirk killing. He’s already declared that democrats are going to be investigated and that “left wing violence” is the enemy. Why the fuck do people think he’s done all of that if not to pre-emptively get some bullshit excuse to “postpone” the midterms?
Get your heads out of your asses, Americans.

No they fucking don’t. They have zero fucking days. Time is up and they DON’T CARE, they - the country of freedom - demonstrably want this.

They have no fuckign clue what to do. Nobody teaches you how to oppose a fascist dictatorship and there are zero leaders doing so. It’s an entire damn education and skills training regime that people are too desperately poor to afford to figure out individually.

Have you seen how people online react when you float the idea of strikes (or really anything beyond parades masquerading as protests) as a method of resistance? The vast majority of Americans demonstrably don't care enough about fascism to do something about it. By the way the word isn't "oppose;" it's "overthrow."

France taught us well. Americans love their lumberjacks, you can make a lot of guillotines with that.

I’m sorry you are already so defeated about our chances. Why don’t you just stand aside and collect yourself rather than try to demoralize the rest of us?
Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
America demoralizes every friend and former ally and threatens WWIII.
We are aside, watching America do nothing after decades of bragging about how free you were and how willing you were to stick up for it.
There is no “rest of us” for us outsiders. America is doing this just like Russia invaded Ukraine and Israel is committing genocide, not some of their people.

You’re not helping. You might be worse than the idiots. You have the awareness to see what is happening, and this is how you respond.

TBF, the alternative is to wait a bit more and see how the situation evolves and if the midterm change something.
Everyone’s telling you: react now. The close future/midterm won’t change anything.
The message is more a call to action, rather than anything… Stop waiting.

The whole reason we’re in this is mess is people’s apathy and insisting the only thing they can do is vote for warmongering Democrats. Everyone is just working their jobs and living their life normally, when they should be out in the streets demanding heads on spikes.
