There won’t be anymore institutions left. I don’t understand how you guys can’t see that? The trad democrats are useless and they will cave in. Where’s @AOC 😩 save us from the fossils and the “high ground moralists” were DONE. We’re angry, very angry. Yet, no action. Do something 😒
There is a long fight ahead and we’re losing BADLY. At least Romania had the balls to actually contest their election due to foreign interference. While the democrats are “boo let’s play fair we will have a long fight but we must unite” And now look at us. Powerless in all branches of government.
And get active locally. For example, You don’t have to run for the school board if you’re an introvert. But you can support a candidate who isn’t a Moms for Liberty🤮plant.
Fascists first chip away at the rules of law and journalism (which will be traded for Fox state news). They’re going for fricking PBS and NPR, labeling them as terrorist organizations! Handmaids Tale is the roadmap for females. Go ahead and try fighting. Eventually you’ll knock yourself out.
Exactly! Institutions are only as strong as the people willing to defend them. Trump’s chaotic appointees are a distraction, but we can’t lose focus. The long fight for democracy requires vigilance and action.
How are we to fight back when the incoming Trump Administration is going to make life for average Americans and especially average retirees financially unbearable? Every idea they've floated increases costs for us and ensures that the filthy rich get even more filthy.
It’s getting involved at the local level where you have the most influence. Run for office, volunteer with local groups that work for change, get engaged with your local city council & school board.
Do the above, but also organise at a local level. Know your local allies. Talk about it. Maybe seek out resistance in Georgia or Romania on here for tips. I'm just a #meme guy. I don't have the answers. Whatever you do, don't be scared. No one panicking can think clearly. 🤗
The traditional and alternative media apparatusses are, though not entirely, somewhat broken so it is best to educate yourself and use that knowledge to educate others about the correct way forward.
If you can organize with others, contact local officials, donate to fundraisers, peaceful protests, civil disobedience and more. We as a nation and the rest of the world cannot afford America falling to the very authoritarian style government we revolted against.
We are not a democracy.
This has been the response to so many debates on other media platforms. It has become readily apparent that republic no longer fits the description of the government trump and the heritage has in mind.
All media stifle debate by limiting wiord count
The institutions of the democratic party and the media have failed us, and they show no signs of reform. I watch guys like Rahm Emmanuel complain about the big bank bailout while seeming to forget that the shitshow was because of him and Obama.
We can't depend on them.
Is extremely important that the ten year term for the FBI be enforced by safeguards.That a president would have personal grudge can't remove that FBI person on unjustified grounds. Like he did with Comey Why have a 10year law for an FBI director if it wasn't solid I think this a the perfect scenario
I’m sorry to disappoint but their target is exactly to dismantle the present system and create a new one with “extreme x-tian values” to cast out the DEEP STATE out of the government. In the process a lot of people will suffer.
We must also focus on those appointee picks, we can do both. It's the beginning of the fight. It's why we're starting with writing/calling Senators and Reps. I may lose my Agent Orange healthcare, and I'm not getting distracted by people telling me not to get distracted. Your media way didn't work.
Let’s look beyond the chaos to see Trump’s ultimate plan. His cabinet picks have 0 government or public experience. AND most are rich scumbags. Project 2025 is alive and well. Stay alert ‼️
Billionaires seem powerful, but ultimately, their wealth is derived from the economy in general and their investments in particular. Disrupt their economic operations, and they will lose their power. They'll likely sue for peace to keep what's left of their money.
Ding, ding, ding. We must disrupt their financial ecosystems, profit streams, etc. Disruption [through boycotts for example] is one of the most powerful tools in our arsenal.
No reason to leave any options on the table, but boycotts can be hard to build enough momentum to do the immediate disruption we're looking to cause.
Disabling transportation vehicles, even if only for a little while, will have a bigger ripple effect than you might think.
Simple cost-effective tactics for disruption: park and disable a large vehicle in front of a logistics node entrance. While they'll eventually remove it, it can shut down operations for hours, costing them money.
Keep doing that for months and they'll be losing their minds.
Get ready for 2026 mid term elections. Talk to people and try to secure that most of those you know vote Democrat. Support your local Governor if doing the right thing. It's a long battle. I hope they'll turn out to be too incompetent to do much damage meanwhile
i think the problem is that most of us don’t know what that “long fight” means and whether it would meaningfully counteract the oligarchic/autocratic shift we’re witnessing first-hand. there don’t seem to be any organizing principles or alignment in how this fight should manifest
Proof of inability to define or see "long-term" is how many laughed him off, never taking him or his actions seriously. They thought he was an anomaly, and things would course correct. But he's the logical outcome of Reagan and Tea Party legacy. Dismissing the red flags invited a dangerous circus.
No they should defend themselves and us. All we the people can do is complain to our Reps who, if you are like me are all Trump ass kissers. You people need to wake up and quit thinking we can save it this time. The people we hired need to do their job
True, but spending money on video screens outside his NAZI rallys...in a feeble attempt to embarrass him and his supporters... is not the way to go. Right now...concentrate on the Midterms...and the damage he will surely due by election night.
I would love to ask you a question …now the senate is 53-47 …how many of those 53 Republicans are not afraid of Trump ? How many of them would stand up if he does something that really threatens ur democracy in the USA ?
Our institutions don’t defend themselves—we do. Don’t get distracted by Trump’s chaotic appointee picks or his circus act. The fight for progress is just getting started, and we’ve got a long way to go. It’s not about the noise, it’s about fighting for REAL change. Stay focused!
Let me set the record straight: I’m not some MAGA puppet! I’m here to expose the corruption, fight the elites, and stand up for the working class—no matter who’s in power. I don’t play by their rules, folks! Get it right!
Yup. The brains behind Trump found him though. He made all his money laundering money in real estate for the Russian mob.
That's no secret, although I don't know why he's never been charged for it.
In 2018 he was still being investigated for money laundering in Florida.
I want to add something, I have owned myself a business, but never understood why I would earn 10 times more than any other person, I wake up the same and go to sleep the same, sure I do 2 or 3 times more hours + responsibilities, so lets give me 3 or 5 times more but everything above is madness.
You're not a malignant narcissist like Trump or Musk or any of the other CEOs who believe every dime of the companies they head is their money, minus whatever small amount they reluctantly have to pay to the employees who actually accomplish the work.
By screwing people over and hiring the people that can do that AND run your companies. You can't tell me Musk is smart enough to hire those kind of people, someone's done that for him. He's just the stooge with the cash $$ now.
Too bad you didn’t realize that when y’all elected your hero for saying government was the problem. 1980 was a choice. America made a very bad decision that year, and now we see the fruits of that.
Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to listen. The US needs my music right now (if you like this, you're gonna love my newest release "Look In the Mirror" but weird as it is, I'm not allowed to place ads for my music until February because of archaic election laws... they think they're ads.
Seemingly, some sinister entity, that he is likely deeply indebted to, is orchestrating a collision course to set up destruction & undermine the US. Why else would he install such blatantly incompetent, unworthy, unqualified, untrustworthy eejits in places of great importance? So many questions.
I love the LP, but I'm sorry the fight was when that fascist fruitcake was indicted all over the damn place. Instead, we watched top law officials sleep walk through his cases.
We all get the Lord of the Flies, WWE Mashup admin now and its chaos.
Predictable chaos reigns. With Harris, we had put our hope in sanity, peace, social justice, women's rights, freedom of and from religion and $$$$$$ out of politics for starters. We have so much work to do.
Musk loves the rapist who incited his supporters to attack the Capitol in 2021. Musk also loves the guy who believes vaccines turn people into crocodiles who led a coup in Brazil in 2022. Musk is an imbecile who is pro-crime. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/nov/27/jair-bolsonaro-coup
There will be no "Robin Hood" to right the wrongs. This will be a fight between the educated and the sheep. This will be Syrian Rebels against an oppressive regime. This will be, unfortunately, a fight by those who still believe in the rule of law and those who think they are above the law.

the institutions nor us can defend ourselves from the unlimited resources of billionaires that have taken over our country and now can rigged the system even more in their favor.
What the Lincoln project needs to do and what the Democrats need to do is find the loopholes in everything and learn how to use them to their advantages don’t play fair because nobody else is and stop always complaining about the status quo meet them and fight them there
We need to start by electing our people at the local and state level. Lower levels of government. This includes our school districts. Making sure that we are holding them accountable to the rule of law and decency and getting rid of them for non-performance. Politicians answer to us.
And we Dems never seem to fight back, especially w/Pelosi gone. Schumer is lovely but sooo ineffectual! He must step down & b replaced by an action oriented moderate who’ll kick ass & take names!
A-lot of people are disturbed why we are waiting? His cult says we cant wait till his in while still bashing biden! Yet i see steelworkers and some farmers now seeing he lied
The institutions should be defeated. Slavery was an institution, we're better off without it. The US Government regularly defended slavery. Once the US Government is defeated, we'll have abolished the two greatest evils in the history of this continent. Arrest Trump, Arrest Musk, Revolution now.
I disagree.
Yes, the right-wing Justices on this court are ALL corrupt. But the idea of having one body with the final say on legal and constitutional matters is a good one.
We just need to make it so it can’t be corrupted.
- Term limits
- Enforceable Code of Ethics
- Non-corruptible vetting process
Don't abolish the Court. Return it to sanity by expanding it to one justice per circuit: 13 justices. That would help de-politicize the Court while making it far more difficult for RW billionaires like Leo to capture. Won't happen anytime soon; it's gonna be a rough ride for the next decade or so.
Yeah, this works in theory.
However, if it was corrupted at 9, it can be corrupted at 13.
Plus, if we expand it to outnumber the current corrupt Justices (whatever the reason for expanding it - # of circuits), the other side can simply expand it again for some bullshit reason.
True, true.
They should be allowed to make a call on constitutionality, and NOT on changing law.
That is the purpose of Congress and the President working together.
Brutus 15 explains that you can't make it "not corrupted."
Corruption is the design. You could make a different system if you wanted, but SCOTUS doesn't account to any of the things you mentioned, by design. So you'd need another revolution.
If you need to "figure out" how to enforce a code in a land without laws, you won't be the one enforcing it. The entire government is corrupt. Always has been. But the people, contrary to that, are mostly good. They've never held power BECAUSE they are good people.
Don't abolish the Judicial branch of government. Checks and balances of the 3 branches of government is the main point of our Constitution. We can amend how SCOTUS is structured though.
Most law is case law, which are decisions made on appeal by higher courts. It's a check and balance of the other 2 branches of government. If we relied on the Legislature to make ALL the laws, we'd be a-goner. The legislature should be a check on the judiciary, but they often don't do their jobs.
I have to ask... Are you under the impression that before national governments there were no wars?
Didn't landowners raise armies and fund wars for monarchs and churches?
Whilst we have nations and borders and people who yearn for power, there will always be war no matter the governance.
There were definitely times throughout history with less wars. We actually have less nowadays than anytime in his history.

Second, we get self motivated. Politicians shouldn’t have to tap dance for us to gain our vote. Is the policy good?
Finally, brainstorm here. There’s no bigger platform
Disabling transportation vehicles, even if only for a little while, will have a bigger ripple effect than you might think.
Keep doing that for months and they'll be losing their minds.
Each and every election and race will be immensely significant and consequential in their own right; each one arguably more important than the last.
Democratic people, who are the bulwark against tyranny, must be vigilant now and forever.

It’s unfit for purpose in its current state, as it showed by diminishing women’s rights and making one immune to prosecution.

I’m not sure how to do that, considering half of the current government is corrupt.
But what’s the alternative?
There must be a way to answer the question when someone does something, and someone else says, “That’s unconstitutional.”
Only wolves can contest wolves.
The SC is unfit for purpose, as it showed by diminishing women’s rights and making one man immune to prosecution.
It’s ridiculous that unelected judges are permitted to change the law. Changes to the law should be the sole responsibility of Congress.
The courts should be the check on the judiciary.
The job of the courts should be interpret laws and give advice based on the constitution.
