And it could do it again.
How many are literally willing to suffer and die for it? We are in a state of existence in this country that has never been truly endured by its current citizenry. Will people just continue to live their lives day to day with the slow drip of tyranny or...?
A ruling elite with a population that thinks it's a democracy. Looks like you're heading back to the British way.
That said, the US has romanticised 1776, it was more a business decision with the French, Spanish & Dutch more than happy to help give the Brits a kicking.
Indeed, as it currently stands. No longer is it a governing body but a ruling one.
People can keep on keeping on with their day to day and just let it be as it may and bitch about high prices, etc. and let everything else that doesn't affect them slide on by or steel the will through sacrifice.
Protest movement will increase as more realise they're being affected, and more importantly, the very rich aren't.
The elite used to throw us peasants a bone to avoid revolutions; this lot don't care and want it all for themselves. They'll reap what they sow.
I just can't see it being any other way than full scale revolution by the Collective. This administration want this war. The question is who's ready to suffer and die for it?
Many have, my friend. The real question is, is your freedom worth a fight? He is basically a weak little man. He’ll flee the country if the going gets tough.
Many have indeed and you ask the right question but what is the answer? How many find that answer to be compliance or defiance will determine the outcome. It will need to be understood that there will be suffering and sacrifice, including life, no matter the path taken and a long row to hoe.
Compliance is the end for your republic. Personally, I’d sacrifice a lot for my country, but first I’d start with mass defiance and protests. Many MAGAts are starting to feel the consequences of their decisions now. Loud resistance will take time, but is your best approach.
So who f made that?Because I don't see where we're cooked I see where we're f****** pissed the f*** off like I said if our government won't pull its head out of its ass and deal with this problem we the people will and we will win the odds and the deck are stacked against him and his co-conspirators
I was going to reply that no, Molly, we are not cooked, that we should stand up and fight, fight like he told us to (he didn't say who to fight). But if Congress and the courts and the Sup Ct and any Repub with a spine (and Dems too for that matter) don't act it will put 1000s of us in danger
"The history of the present King ... is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States."
Remember when the GOP liked to read the Declaration of Independence out loud? Time to do that again.
We're not cooked. We're simmering, and when we reach a boil, God help him. He will fall hard enough that the work will shake and the crater it makes will suck Musk in.
We are in this together. They have spent decades and billions on trying to divide us because these Facists know that when We stand together, We are 334M strong. That reality is what keeps them afraid, hence, the division tactics.
Next DC protest is mid March.
Yes! Thank you! So there is going to be at least two in the first half of March and that's very good. In the meantime, I'm still gonna b[0w up phone lines calling DC, and I'm also curious to learn more about the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
With the way things are going currently, the advertising won't be as necessary. Folks will be pouring out of the woodwork out of discontent and frustration. Everyone is already p1$$ed.
The mass firings are going to work against the turd Reich.
I cannot speak for them, they will have to speak for themselves in due time. As for myself, I will fight until the bitter end. I have nothing left to lose.
When we’re told we’ve gotten too comfortable in our little lives, it’s really infuriating. But not because it’s wrong. But because it’s a hard truth that most of us aren’t ready to accept yet.
I’m afraid that we’re going to be given no choice but to get uncomfortable real soon.
That’s why I said “as an aggregate.” The bulk of society is “comfortable.” On the whole, the people of the US have better access to food, shelter, and medical care than people even 60-75 years ago. We have more and easier access to leisure and entertainment.
Notwithstanding all of the important issues with Trump actually proclaiming himself King, I have always thought Trump looked ridiculous in this pic. The white vest and coat look terrible. The idiot can’t even look put together in front of the Queen. Embarrassing
SIGN your strike card! SHARE IT ON ALL SOCIAL MEDIA! We need 11 million to make this work! We can do it! We MUST save our country from the ruthless wannabe dictators! If we don't fight like hell, we may not have a country anymore! Sound familiar? Cripple the crooked!!
she was one of the only leaders who saw right through him early on and wasn't afraid to show her disdain for him. i'd be in favor of a constitutional monarchy if EIIR could be brought back for the sole purpose of beating DJT's fat fascist ass! 👑
I know. It’s pretty telling that they are preparing us that there will be no more democracy and no more following the constitution. Trump is now the dictator of the US and looks like no one has the power to stop it.
I think people are waiting because so much is happening so fast and some of it will stick and some may not. The real question is what SCOTUS says about Trump being able to fire Dellinger. If they rule for Trump, it’s all over. If they rule against Trump and he ignores it, it’s all over.
Agreed, dems need to get real loud. It’s past time to start fighting against these Nazis, they’re already sending immigrants to “camps” in the jungle. @democrats.org @raskin.house.gov @adamschiff.com @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @kenmartin.bsky.social
It’s not enough.
All movements must come from multiple sources, or they will always be outflanked and overpowered by the oppressor state and its armed apparatus.
the Ultimate in Non-narcissism is sacrificing your life for others or your community... if you aren't willing to do that... you have a narcissist side to yourself. Its difficult to come to grips with losing everything so your community can survive. But we don't need lives, we need comfort sacrificed
Maybe Molly needs a little rest. She’s been on the front lines for awhile. Rest girlfriend and get refreshed. We’ll keep fighting until you reenergize. We’ll never give up and we’ll never comply with the orange turd or his despicable cult.
The majority of white people in this country complied on Nov. 5, 2024 when they felt whiteness was worth burning this country down for. They will comply. In fact, they already have. It's over until white people decide otherwise. Most white people like you will fall in line to survive.
If I were a Black person I would probably look at every white person and think "fuck all y'all." It would seem like too much energy to separate "decent" from "Magat." White ppl, we have to realize the fatigue of sorting us out "bad vs. ok" is exhausting for BPOC. Decades upon decades of exhaustion.
This is perfect. I can't relate to the generational trauma but I at least have a .00000001% idea of how exhausting it is to play the "good white person/bad white person" game.
If you've given up and stopped trying to figure out which of us is evil, I don't blame you.
2/ I'm exhausted just having to do it since 2016. Not even a decade. Not to mention for me it's just who I associate with. For BIPOC it's literally about trust and safety.
I have tried to imagine having to think that way every single day for 50+ years. I can't. It's overwhelming.
Yes. Yes we did. White people fucked over the entire country. I don’t hate my race. But im starting to hate everyone that didn’t listen and voted for this dumpster fire. Wake up
You’re correct and I do blame my people. It’s not all of us though. Many of us are scared and stand to lose a lot too. Many of us do and have drank the kool aid and are ready to have their life tanked. Bigotry explains it and it’s so infuriating I want to scream every waking minute!
ALL of us are scared and have a lot to lose. If we don't fight him, we will lose even more. It's very much in our favor that he no longer cares what we the people think. The more he acts like a dictator, the more the rational will desert him. We must unite and demand his impeachment.
I find when I ask them questions they disappear. When I tell them what to believe they will fight to bitter end even when wrong. But they hate being questioned 😂
Most of the people I know, not claiming friendship with any of them currently, did. Facts don’t matter, stats don’t matter. Nothing matters except precious white male mediocrity & pick me women cutting in line.
I don’t believe the majority of whites in the country voted for Trump, but I DO believe those who did vote for him were the majority white. And POC have fought too long and hard to go backwards. This white person and others like me have had enough and are standing up for you. ✊🏻
Not really. The majority of white people who voted did, which is disgraceful, but given 90m eligible people didn't vote, and the majority of them were white, it's fair to say most sat it out. The biggest failure in the US is in making a true plurality of people willing to actually take part.
Not voting, and this is applicable for millions, is due to information and logistics.
Information, in that the right owns 90% of the news media consumed by massive swaths of the populace, shielding them from bad information, justifying what they can, and preventing good news about democrats.
And logistical in that many are disenfranchised. The roll purges from 2021 to 2024 were at historical highs. I don't believe for a second that that's not the most effective voter suppression effort in US history
Oh you won’t? What are you doing to build community? What are you doing to educate yourself about how we got here? What are you doing besides protests or complaining on line to fight back & being majority of WW to do so and to vote appropriately going forward? What did you do to gotv in 2024
Time for Republicans to put their big boy pants on and make some shit happen. This will end well for very few-- and Marco Rubio will not be one of them.
When everyone bows down and kisses the ring, looks the other way and allows him to make the rules, why wouldn’t he think he’s king? When you make a hand gesture and your followers respond, or you are told you are like God and Jesus, why not think you are king? They cower and obey, for their king.
So it's clear he has failed in his duties to protect the constitution. We are no longer in a legal nation. Best we can do now is hope each state wakes up and takes steps, because the federal system has failed and has fallen.
Protect yourselves, it's going to get nasty.
On a scale of 1 - 10 (Fear & Disgust) when I woke up the day after the Election. ( I actually knew by 10PM ) I was at panic level 8.
A month later it's doubled.
That should not be possible.
Any excuse to post this again: This king is certifiably crazy in his malevolent grandiose delusions and, by the way, he has no clothes. (Two can play the AI game.)
Fear not, Molly. We're not cooked. We're all helping each other to climb out of the pot. NO one is cookin' this Magpie, least of all that orange coward. I'm a retired HS teacher. I know how to handle sniveling bullies.
🤦🏻♂️ HOW DID THIS WORLD GET TO THIS PLACE of acceptance of a single man and his cult to totally create so much hate/ division/disillusion / gaslighting /misinformation! How have WE allowed this to turn against one another especially in a time of crisis. Love/ kindness is lost 😞
We both wish for that. Sadly, there are too many undereducated, hate-filled white people in this country right now. But there’s also a whole lot of us who were crushed when Trump won—both times. Let’s form an effective coalition to kick MAGA out of power once and for all.
Trump does not have the support of most white people. Between those that stayed home and those who voted for Kamala, the majority are indifferent to active hatred.
Molly, you really shock me with this comment. We are not cooked just because the felon says anything. This should piss people off and not roll over. People, get mad and make never-ending calls to your reps
Everyday is a new montage of horrors. I know it is by design, and they want us to feel demoralized and helpless. Feels like they are winning. It’s so depressing.
This picture alone should make every American mad as hell. This was the whole purpose of starting this country. No religious persecution, no being ruled by a tyrant king, etc. The New York Times was wrong.....Democracy dies in any light.
He told us what he was going to do and he's doing it. I hate the prick, but imagine if a Dem was this effective for 5 minutes.....the fact that we put up with stagnant politics is why we now have this clown......
I think France still has a few guillotines left. Shouldn't take that long to put one back to a workable state.
Don't ask DOGE to do it, thought. They are known to work fast, but they also tend to break things.
Makes me so 🤢 disgusted & so, so angry 😡. Our kids & grandkids deserve so much better. I’m even angrier at the main stream media who took out Joe & Kamala & burdened us with this evil demented monster
The history of the present King is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.
You have to be real truthful to yourself right now. This is happening! We are under attack. None of these maneuvers are to benefit Americans, which is the sole purpose for electing a president or leader.
Well, New Yorkers know this demented clown for what he is, a convicted felon and adjudicated sexual rapist sociopath to just name a few, so let's wait for the new yawker to kick in. Like Virginia, we don't tolerate nor are fools for kings ... “Sic semper tyrannis” ... just saying
On the 30th January 1649, King Charles I was executed outside the Banqueting House in Whitehall. His trial was a momentous event in British history.
He was found guilty of treason - a ‘tyrant, traitor, murderer and Public Enemy’.
He likely had both. Until the tide turned against him. Say what you will about the French. They knew how to throw a revolution. We are nearing let them eat cake territory.
Wait till they cut Medicaid & the social security.
Once the MAGA Zombies start starving & dying they will riot - & blame immigrants!
Those jizzstains will never learn - once a racist always an asshole.
Oh, I don’t know: Chuck Schumer making his ‘tough’ videos shows he’s not even in the cockpit. I kinda think the boomers are too tuckered out, and (rightfully so) are blaming the millennials for their ‘protest votes’. So they’re saying, “You guys want freedom? Prove it!”
Yeah. He did. Half the nobles supported him. Never mind that the monarchy owned a lot of land. He was using the income from his personal lands to rule. Among other issues. As for his supporters: Parliament had to burn them out - they won the English civil war through attrition.
Exactly what I came here to say. Kings throughout history who have screwed with their people often times end up being ripped apart by those same people.
Well, if he considers himself a King, then he should be removed as being an illegitimate office holder since we do not recognize Kingship in this country. Let the removal begin!

There are no life boats for this sinking ship.
It's comply or die.
Does anyone see a way out short of revolution?

Go away.

Vive la république!
They're far too busy focusing on making Trump's birthday a national holiday --- a far more pressing matter.
Next DC protest is mid March.

Take a deep breath. Touch grass.
Come back to the fight.
We having these tyrants EASILY outnumbered.

He is so delusional he probably thinks it’s true. We are not cooked, we are still prepping the meal.
If the people accept his BS he wins.
Resist !!!
The Constitution does NOT support a king.
Sometimes misspellings are more factual than the intended spelling. 😉
I’m afraid that we’re going to be given no choice but to get uncomfortable real soon.
Oceans impede logistics in colonial America times.

I needed a good laugh 😂
This time foreign powers seem too scared to even say anything.
So what was the war of independence about?
“ Give me liberty, or another dictator“…….
Not as good as my official Royal Portrait though.😊
#KingTrump
It’s from the official WH account.
Intended to encourage his base to accept him as King, and intimidate the rest of us.
Bring out your bayonets and your muskets.
Laws mean nothing under an illegitimate, lawless Nazi regime. With lawmakers complicit or cowed, & the courts compromised.
They seek to goad us into street action as an excuse for Martial Law.
But wouldn’t we rather go down fighting?
We must counterprop.
And counterprop without end.
All movements must come from multiple sources, or they will always be outflanked and overpowered by the oppressor state and its armed apparatus.

Yeah, all of that is performative nonsense.
And trying to explain your fears? To a BLACK WOMAN?
Is insulting.
Yes, it is.
You just pulled some mediocre white dude bullshit by insisting on individualism(a characteristic of white supremacy and the patriarchy)
Bet you didn't even see it.
Who exactly do you believe you are convincing?
Information, in that the right owns 90% of the news media consumed by massive swaths of the populace, shielding them from bad information, justifying what they can, and preventing good news about democrats.
Think normal people across the USA like the idea of enacting a toll that’s so expensive only rich people can afford it?
And they’ll continue “reporting” until it’s too late + suddenly they are off the air …
Democracy dies in broad daylight …

Protect yourselves, it's going to get nasty.
Get fucking mad! We are NOT “cooked” dammit!! We are FUCKING PISSED OFF!
Start throwing some frigging haymakers & stop cowering. It’s beneath you.
Now get up, shake it off, and let’s get fighting!
Better to disengage rather than fuel his constant need for drama.
A month later it's doubled.
That should not be possible.

We have no kings in the United States. Go to Russia where you can suck off the king all you want Donny boy
The convicted felon should be careful what he wishes for.
We MUST resist. And persist.
