We were outvoted. We are now in the minority. My fellow Americans voted for him knowing his history, his character, his prejudice. 92% of me and my sisters did our part. Now we’re planning how we will survive. We not marching!
If my husband and I didn’t need our f/t jobs, we would be driving up with our recreation vehicle and be in front of the Capital protesting every day, unfortunately, Florida is a long haul. We will stay active in the community even though is bright red where we live.
I think many don’t know what to do. We feel so overwhelmed by what is happening so quickly. We knew what was going to happen, read Project 2025, but now we need more national leaders/spokespersons to get behind.
Not sure Americans are quiet? You may not see folks on the street right now but they are doing what they can. My fellow Americans voted for this. I did not. Doing what I can to push back
Most of us on this site are afraid. Things are tense, it’s a delicate balance when Trump had/has the military and cops on his side plus guns exist here. We are scared but I think lots of us are starting to find our anger and voice.
It’s where I’m at too but it took me 24 hours into his presidency to get there. I will not let this man bully us and everyone else. He is weak, we have the numbers.
I’m still a bit nervous of fbi with Kash at the helm but same for military, I can’t imagine someone from the military being okay with what they did to milley. I also can’t see milley taking this.
Why aren't you taking out to the streets?
For me it's because non of my posts that call to do so gain any more than 30 'likes'.
I also need to figure out logistics for getting and staying there coming from California. It'll take me a bit
If I have to do it alone I will, but don't expect that to work
Probably because Americans are seeing social media platforms, corporations, law-enforcement, and even the media all fall in line to our new dictator and are afraid
I think so much is happening so fast, we are still in shock. I do believe the backlash will be nothing we have ever experienced. I hate to say that I believe people will be shot by military but it’s only going to enrage even more Americans. Be brave.
I have a wife and kid I need to keep housed and fed. I also need to keep my place in order to protect them and anyone that shows up and needs help, as I've done my entire adult life.
I can't just jump into the streets and hope others will join me before I'm mowed down.
This is the mentality of a large number of people. There is no organized resistance to join or follow. There is no organized general strikes. There is no organization to any of it so we're all left to think we're on our own.
I'm a hairstyle in an upper middle-class city in Michigan. I can tell you that most people haven't a clue as what's going on. I'll say, did you see this? The answer is always no. It's very depressing.
I know a lot of folks that have deleted their online accts, and told me they can’t watch the news! Folks have to preserve their mental health as many are getting deeply depressed.
Nope, for what seems like over 20+ years we, the Dems, have had to carry the weight of saving democracy every 4 years. You know what, I'm exhausted, I hope he burns the whole thing down, who knows maybe I'll reengage in the future. Maybe not. 🤷🏼♂️
I know these people are pissing me off, I go to protest in Indy all the time, alone I live 1.5 hours away. Speak to my elected officials face-to-face, silence is compliance I'd be heading to DC right now if I didn't have to work tonight, driving my crappy manual Jeep Patriot.
Because they're about to put boots on the ground. If we go out, we're going to get arrested and held FOREVER without due process at labor camps. The best we can do is General Strike to hemorrhage out the corporate and tax money they're using to fund their activities and #JustStayHome

Resistance, of whatever type, requires time & financial means. In the specific case of the US, an opposition leader to rally behind would also help.
And not a shot was fired
#WTYS
We need leaders to command the #Resistance
#Resist
Project 2025 in full control and it will not be bloodless

If we don't, he takes over. He takes over either way.
We have to find our voice, and if things get worse, we need to work on sabotage and other tactics, like heroes did under Hitler.
