3. If they don't get it, then they will push until they provoke widespread protests and/or armed rebellion. They will then use this as an excuse for atrocities, domestic military use and for the centralization of authority.

Lawsuits work! Stop these Nazi bastards by giving to organizations that hire lawyers to file & win lawsuits against our enemy: DemocracyForward, NAACP, ACLU, FFRF, LambdaLegal, PublicCitizen, BrennanCenter, EarthJustice. Do more than post on social media: PICK ONE & DONATE NOW!
Start with this guy. And bought. The less famous but influential ones pulling the strings. Get hegseth drunk since he’s a raging alcoholic. They’re not the best. They couldn’t even insurrection properly.
4. The Trump administration and its MAGA followers believe they will win a physical confrontation handily. Therefore, they see no cost to continuing to push Democrats past constitutional limits.
5. Democratic leaders like Schumer and Klobuchar think this current MAGA approach will crater the economy and turn off voters, leading to an overwhelming Democratic victory in 2026. This is a fantasy, however. They don't have time.
Well this was definitely a shorter thread than I thought it would be. A lot of doom-casting and seemingly no prescriptive advice for what should be done..
A start is to actually start saying what's happening instead of "calling on Trump to do x thing he'll laugh at them for". The next step is to obstruct everything they can. Use McConnell's playbook if they can't figure it out on their own. After that they need get people in DC to physically gum it up
Eh, while I agree time is short, she's 100% correct to say the courts have power. It's not smart to concede that power, just as they shouldn't cede legislative power. We know Trump is violating court orders; we have to frame that battle for the public.
Very true. It's not a matter of whether or not you like him. It's not a matter of "but Biden did-". It's a matter of whether people want to live free or die.
Seems like the options here are some unpredictable mix of tyranny, anarchy, and national dissolution at the state and substate level.
And I don’t think people realize what will happen if, say, California is just… taken off the dollar. The economy can be weaponized very quickly with deadly affect.
They are in a symbiotic, abusive relationship with the GOP. Both parties are awash in CU money. That is why they never change their tactics. They play ping pong with the country every election. Biden gave the country over, smiling. Those Vichy fucks.

Now we need a platform and an executive leadership team. That’s not going to be from Dems in DC.
It’s this, or learn to live and die on your knees. Fascism is ultimately a death cult. Always.
