I agree. I want to see determination, not deference. I want to see rage, not listlessness. Voices need to be heard. Risks need to be taken. Moves need to be made. Anything less will lose us our country and our freedom.
It's an endeavor of futility. People complain on Social Media, upset themselves, read endless "Call to Action" posts and convince themselves they are enacting change. In fact, they are doing nothing more than complaining online in an echo-chamber. You'll get more satisfaction posting kitten pics.
Anything said on social media is futile UNLESS it causes people to take action in the real world.
Successful political action by the people IS possible - other countries do it all the time: South Korea resisted a coup just this week; Israel; France
And the whole 'Real World' is missing. Here, people bang loudly on their keyboards and throw their phones. People are exploiting anger by posting constant play-by-play scandals. When we have a South Korea-worthy moment, I'll be there. For now, I regress and have zero fucks to spare.
It seems many journalists are concerned about their own safety and are hesitant to speak out against the new Trump administration. I would ask why did you become a journalist in the first place? If you are now afraid to report on them, maybe you should be doing something else.
We could have started with a recount in the swing states to reassure the American people that our elections were safe and secure. Especially after what trvmp and his billionaire friends said for months before the election. Dems were all fight until the night if the election, then they just gave up.
They're too incompetent to be afraid of being intentionally targeted by. Now being afraid of how said incompetence will fuck everything up? That we understand
It is like the true American spirit deflated and those in power enough to stop his crap are either following the greed chain or are moral cowards who fear the Wizard of Oz who was just a blustering man behind the curtain so to speak.. I just don’t get it..
Excuse my citing history: On 4/19/1943: The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising against Hitler’s troops who showed up to deport Jews. By May 16th, Hitler’s troops has crushed the uprising & deported these Jews to concentration camps & killing centers. To prove that bullies don’t always stand down when challenged
I’m Union. And we Union activists aren’t taking the bullying lying down. We’ve been speaking up & we’re strategizing for what we know is coming after January 20th. Stay tuned.
I’m not saying that we should cower at the feet of the MAGA Machine. But we shouldn’t be so naive as to think that resistance won’t require much sacrifice and even bravery. The way ahead will be tough going. We each must ask ourselves if we are truly ready, willing & able to bear what’ll be required
And u are very correct.
It's not going to be an easy cake walk. I do not have that delusion in my eyes. But until I see a time I can't fight this bully, I'm fighting full throttle.
My thing is for us to NOT allow them to get full power. That's when things will be the worst.
Of course that's true!! The next question is what any of us are willing to DO to protect democracy?
Where is the #BlackLivesMatter level of intensity as we sit around watching our democracy get stolen in front of our eyes?
People are really frightened by what Trump plans to do. I am one of those. I looked at leaving this country for somewhere safer. I decided to stay to be near my brother.
Fear can make even the most brazen critics become silent. How soon can we expect late night raids and arrests from the Trump administration? I don't blame them really.
all they talk about is cuts... no one is talking about increasing revenue by making the billionaires pay their fair share (instead of their tax lawyers)
This is exactly right ! Examples,. Joe and Mika. Why did you bend the knee ? You talked about Kevin McCarthy lowering himself, and now you two. Stand up to bullies.
I removed all my links to social media and MSM from my phone. Bad for my mental health. Puts my anxiety through the roof. I'm trying to quietly block out living in this Hellhole. I predict, will die in a regime just like my mother was born into.

I'm just exhausted saying it... 😩
Or pics of pretty things or even things that just make my mind wander off.
These posts give them (dipshit45) more courage to keep fear mongering in interviews cuz we're being affected.
My apologies before u actually see anything 🤣.
I have great days and very very silly days.

-- (December 2016) How Donald Trump and ‘Morning Joe’ made up

It pisses me the fuck off. What u get me all riled up for if u were just going to bend the fuck over?
Meanwhile as we plummet towards his bullshit once again the silence is pissing more people off.
All these posts do is give them more breath to keep saying shit to install more fear.
These creeps are NOT in control yet. So why are we allowing ourselves to be bullied by them?
Please be sure to let me know when to jump in action.
Already waiting like a lion in the jungle hunting.
Unsure why folks don't get that.

Asking for a friend.

Protests are just one of MANY powerful actions that grassroots Democrats can take...
