Thucydides, in his history of the Peloponnesian war, uses the same Greek word for “survive” and “win.” In the US if we the resistance survive the idiot reign of terror, we win.

54% of Americans ages 17-65 read at 6th grade level or lower & 24% of the rest are virtually illiterate. We stopped Teaching the Humanities some 40 years ago & reduced education to “how much $$ da ya wanna make?” even at our “best” schools.
I don't think it's stupidity, but greed. There's a parallel between the convicted felon leading this nation and the "emperor with no clothes". It's a strange attraction to power and glory. The reference to ancient Greece -- with real warriors may not be appropros. It's also ok to google + learn.
We will keep mocking them and protesting against them and telling the truth about them. Not only are they corrupt and stupid they are boors. I am so bored with Trump. He was bad enough the first time but the reruns are unbearable. And now he wants to declare martial law.
... And the complacent liberals will hand it to him. They will get out in the streets, Trump will have an agent provacateur throw something at a cop and BOOM! insurrection act tapped
Yes America is an idiocracy—the Republican Party certainly is. I can’t think of a single exception among the Senators and representatives or even judges. They are all incredibly stupid.
We’ll have to get rid of the corruption root and branch, and rebuild all the institutions—NOAA, FAA, USAID, NSF, NASA etc wrecked during the Trump dark aged. What else? We have to put in place safeguards to make sure something like this can never happen again. Probably rewrite the Constitution
Win back the House and Senate in 2026? Then we impeach and remove. Trump and Vance. Then Hegseth, Bondi, etc.
Then we bring back everyone from El Salvador.
Then we purge corruption, starting with law enforcement, FBI, CIA, NSA, DHS, etc.
That's a start. What do you say, Dems?
Y'all are a lot tougher than you give yourselves credit for, you'll survive. Tramp will indirectly bring out the best in Americans through their resistance to his knockoff Temu fascism. Worst case, flee up here and build strength, bide your time, then take it back.
Canada's response would resemble the official unofficial policy during the Vietnam war for men who did not want to be drafted and fled to Canada. Contribute, don't cause trouble, and apply for landed immigrant status. The gov't even eased entry reqs in 1969.

Every day we slow it down is another day for a vulnerability to emerge—or even for it to crumble from its own internal evil pressures.
That would make much easier to survive AND win.
I want to start talking about what we do when we have more power to fix things.
Then we bring back everyone from El Salvador.
Then we purge corruption, starting with law enforcement, FBI, CIA, NSA, DHS, etc.
That's a start. What do you say, Dems?
