Maybe, just maybe, it’s someone who was a long range sniper in the forces. You realize that the world record is held by a Canadian soldier at 5 miles??
THIS!!! Our politicians seem to be only equipped for “strongly worded letters”. Like this is not what they signed up for and they are COMPLETELY at a loss at this point.
The adults are in the minority party. The repubs have admitted they are too cowardly to stand up for the the oath they took to the Constitution. Unfortunately, too many dem pols are showing they are not capable of addressing the moment either.
there was a way out. now there’s not. but there was. people just believed so truly that things were Already As Bad As Possible that they took the way out for granted and didn’t bother to show up when it mattered the most
I have a petition is at https://change.org. I call it: An Amendment to the US Constitution, Checks and Balances. Here is the link. https://chng.it/DBqPdkb5YV Add to that recall petitions across the country.
Recall Trump, the GOP Congress and for good measure Democrats as well. The idea is to see just what the American People are thinking. To establish how they expect issues to be dealt with.
I'm not at all sure WHY you used that image [cross] for this post --- DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THAT "RELIGION" IS THE ROOT OF WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THE RIGHT-WING AND MAGA??
"religion" is actually a, *SOCIO-POLITICAL IDEOLOGY [SPI]*
You are obviously not familiar with domesticenemyhat (take a look at posts)/popehat on twitter... the symbology is more against than for organized religion. Pardon me if I appear to be stepping toes.
The opposition and resistance are the adults. We have to be the heroes. Stay loud, stay in elected representatives face, find ways to protect the vulnerable, don't surrender, DON'T obey in advance. Be the challenge to authoritarianism, be an agent of change. Be not afraid.
It is because they came for all fronts at once...but, the lack of education, the Faux News lies, then tRump lying constantly with the Republican chorus backing him up. The courts, the congress...they have been putting this in place since the 1980s. The perfect antichrist came along and they all fell
Why should Obama show..a good chunk of the country Shit on Him and his wife en masse...racism and all.....Clinton..he didnt help his own cause..unless you mean Mrs clinton who is heavily despised...Bush would be warmonger puppet callin the kettle a nazi ....so I mean cant blame em
There is a group, 50501, that is making noise.
I try to share the Ralph Nader radio hour often and with Americans that show their support of Canada.
Share away!
I think many of us grew up thinking that certain chapters of history were "closed", that we had grown past the worst of it. I had an almost spiritual belief that things were always getting better. If I am lucky enough to have children, I will teach them about this moment and about my naivete.
We can’t afford to be armchair Americans. We have an obligation to stand up against those who are dismantling of our Constitution and our Laws and our freedom.

It's us. The adult is us. It's time to step up, everyone. Our freedom is worth it. We can't let fascism make its home here, nor can we let it spread to the rest of the world. We've defeated this brand of ugly before, and we can do it again. 💙
Voter engagement and participation in the mid-terms will be unimaginably epic and that is why they are in such a hurry to smash everything so the mid terms become easy to manipulate
My goals. I don't care if you are black, White, yellow, sky blue pink with red polka dots, male, female, wendigo, or Vulcan. I hope to elevate Culture, rather than let Greed destroy Culture.
Indeed very sad, a bloody TV celebrity and con man with a rich rascist from South Africa is now running the show with little regard for anyway but themselves and a few very rich men. 🥵🥶
Agreed. Now that he's moved on to the military brass, the final steps will be in place to finish the job of destroying our government and way of life. Loyalist traitors at the head of every agency. Decent, sane, Americans need to get prepared like it's April 12, 1861.
They literally would come out of the voting booth say they voted for him, be of a group he vowed to do x to and they would say, 'awe nah, he isn't serious about that.' Or 'that won't actually happen.'
As Elon Musk’s DOGE chainsaws through federal agencies with budget and staff cuts, Tesla and SpaceX, cornerstones of his wealth, continue to benefit from public money. They probably wouldn’t have succeeded without it.
Kelley won't hack it. We need General Milley. We need him to organize the staff officers to fight this mess before Trump fires them all. They need to refuse to be fired and order their troops to Washington D.C. There would be no opposition, and 10's of millions of Americans would stand behind them.
A historian friend points out that all Americans alive today have lived their lives in a period of largely stable political consensus, compared to earlier eras- even taking into account the Vietnam/ civil rights struggles (and I'm of that generation) the foundations have seemed steady.
The end of WWII was the beginning of an era when there was a huge emphasis on nonviolent conflict resolution, even with Vietnam and the civil rights movement.
It really seems as if he sees the world as Russia (eventually subsuming Europe), the US, and China, each with their areas of dominance. That's what "making America great" means to him- 19th century imperialism to go with his 19th century economic understanding.
I might suppose that this notion of an external savior out-there-somewhere fits in well with the Judeo-Christian mythos of Messiah, but the best we've had through Nixon/Reagan/both Bushes has been US, and WE are going to have to step forward once again. Don't ask me how, I'm not so good on planning.
Yep, we Americans have had it pretty easy with government stability. This could be why so many people don't pay attention to politics and government -- they haven't needed to.
We have truly been too complacent , too affluent, too lazy, too self serving and watch way too much reality tv. We deserve this. Now let’s get busy and recover.
Sadly you are correct I am a democrat but I thought that at least the republicans would protect our democracy President Biden won and did great things and still the maga believed all the lies and now we are in hell our country is dying and I don’t see America surviving how do we forgive maga
I suspect that by making such a big deal about illegal immigrants, Trump has brought about the unintended consequence that they know to keep a very low profile if not actually go into hiding, and be extra alert.
The moment an unfortunate and embarrassing amount of Americans realized that things were usually fair to middling because there wasn't an actual sociopath in the White House. Furthermore, there were no ultra wealthy robber baron capitalists as acting president. I love this for ancap Libertarians.
Taking the system for granted helped cause this. Most people have no idea how much they rely on the system until it's gone. In fact, only the system successfully functioning for so long could have bred this attitude - we are victims of our own success. Democracy dies of irony.
I am honestly fine with people who are reasonable, kind and tolerant helping one another because that is their usual impulse (even when voting) and with the sort of assholes who voted Republican because they believe in rugged individualism eating hard potatoes and dying alone.
Americans seem to think freedom is free because they’ve never had to fight for it, and that democracy will magically withstand a President, Congress, and the Court trying ti destroy it.
Also until just now there were an alarming number of middle class white men in America who imagined they were some kind of superior John Galt character from an Ayn Rand novel, when in fact they have below average self awareness and below average social reasoning, and are in truth weak little fools.
We need the Military chiefs who are still there(are they?),who align themselves with protecting the constitution,to step up and stand with us,not the nazis.
I fear that if they don't,this nation will burn and millions will either be disappeared or die.
Thats where we are now.
Stop under reacting.
yes, from the cradle up Americans are raised on the idea of the strong "individual", through school and TV etc. They are not raised learning the mindset of joining together. So yes, they are waiting for SOMEONE, ANYONE, emphasis on ONE, to save them - rather than joining up and using numbers!

But greed and power are the root- religion is just a convenient vehicle for manipulating people's emotions.
There’s millions
Us
Where is #Clinton?
Where is #Bush?
Movements need leaders.
Are you just trolling?
Why aren’t they on the streets in their millions?
Why aren’t they grinding everything to a halt in protest?

Not now.
Not under Trump. He believes in raw power & spheres of influence, where less powerful countries do what the more powerful force them to.
Democracy is irrelevant, power is everything.
Only we can save ourselves
