Without institutions to protect citizens, democracy falls and citizens become slaves to the whims and crumbs of the wealthy and corporations.

We need to IMMEDIATELY begin converting our district, City, county councils and state legislatures to Open Forum Citizen DAOs run on quadratic blockchain voting. Nostr and https://element.io are the way to do it.

It's already too late sadly. This will be a fun ride to the end. I hope a few of us see it through. Nobody is prepared for the horrors coming.

2 options to flying. Boycott flying or airlines ground stop until professionals are restored to the FAA.

Yep! Hope you know how to find a safe place....most won't.

You mean you will be sh0t for wearing glasses in the coming culture war?

And now it’s time to split from the maggots. Secession now!

All signs of an already failed state thats decomposing&being cannibalized by a new host:Systemic instability,break down in domestic order,a gov floating the idea of punishing Americans who dont fall in line w/ the new world order agenda, including stripping citizenship&force expulsion from country

Master of understatement.

Republicans in the House and Senate have handed this country over fully.

Do everything you can to prepare yourself and your family to weather a storm. The guardrails are off and i genuinely think we're out of exit ramps from the road to authoritarianism.

Prepare to resist.

I worry about the mass mental health crisis we are going to experience from the impact of trying to reform at the flip of a switch. Before the election Musk said that Americans are going to suffer for a few years, but then it's going to be great. It probably will be for him.

It's the time when organized crime flourishes.

You're not worried about the economic instability? Are you under the impression that these two things are somehow isolated from one another? Are you familiar with the phrase "Let them eat cake"?

It will be ok until there’s food shortages. Then the riots begin…

lordcaedus.bsky.social•46 days ago

Strap in brother, it's coming.

It’s by design: they want resistance so they can smack it down. Blue cities will have a hard time getting the vote out if their streets are filled with armored personnel carriers. And gangs of right wing fanatics.

Yep i bought a gun in 2020...not aorry. I need a pistol.

indicina.bsky.social•47 days ago

Agree. But, that’s what Project 2025 aims to do - breakdown all norms, society, and government.

They need chaos and disorder so they can rob us. It’s a good diversion game.

It benefits Trump and the oligarchs if everything is dysfunctional then no one can do anything about the takeover.

That we have more guns than people isn’t putting me at ease.

roblawrencium.bsky.social•47 days ago

Me too, how far is this going to go before people across the political spectrum who have lost their jobs start taking it to the streets?

jenmayowhittaker.bsky.social•47 days ago

Sooner rather than later, I hope. See my recent post about beef cows. I say we overthrow the whole fucking thing.

sirskeltal.bsky.social•47 days ago

Yeah I just lost my job a few days before christmas and haven't been able to find a new one. A job I recently applied to said they had over 80 applicants per day.
