If we are similarly wired, dozens of times a day you feel like shouting at strangers (or friends, neighbors, and loved ones), “Hey, do any of you people actually give a sh*t? Because now would be the sh*t-giving time?”

1. Everyone has too much to lose, no one will fight.
2.The despot has consolidated power and owns the military, no one can fight.
3.Things get so bad that there is no alternative but to stand up and fight.
With luck a charismatic leader emerges.
The USA is on step one.
They CHOSE
A CRIMINAL.
A RAPIST.
INTENTIONALLY!!!!
Like ON PURPOSE.
They thought - I know who’d be a great person to put in charge! A Mob Boss career fraudulent criminal with no morals and no ethics.

Generally strongmen have the good sense to not screw over their own.
This dipshit is blocking emergency aid money to Arkansas.
W ate shit over flubbing Katrina and that mainly hurt Democrats, this is Arkansas which is 2/3rd Republican.
Here's my answer: NO! THEY'RE TOO STUPID TO DO ANYTHING RIGHT EVER SINCE NOV. 5 2024 THUS PROVING ME RIGHT TIME & AGAIN THAT HUMANS ARE SELFISH, GREEDY, IGNORANT, & INCOMPITENT AND ONLY CARE ABOUT THEMSELVES!
When it comes to toughness, we are as soft as a baby’s bottom.
This is a large, dumb, soft, mean country.
It’s FAFO time.
I don't see anyone arresting federal law enforcement or ICE agents for breaking laws.
Blondi, Noem, Hegseth, Cocaine Kash, Trump are still walking free.
First, lack of experience.
Second, too many Americans being okey-dokey with that.
Third, way too many of them either being fascists or arranging with fascism in the government.
Fourth, way to little numbers of opponents which are ill-equipped to combat fascism.
I can no longer walk amongst these people with middle fingers flying and they’re none the wiser.
I am hoping I'm wrong, but I feel like this is where we are at.
As David Feldman says (on YouTube), "Showing up to protest, peacefully, reminds our police & military whose side they're constitutionally obligated to be on."
Seriously, I don't know how every person in the country isn't in DC, knocking down the doors of their reps.
I don't know why the terminals in the DC Airports aren't clogged, preventing any of them from leaving.
WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE

Ever TRIED to get anyone out of a Cult?
It's nearly impossible. It's an addiction, so imagine getting them off heroine
Where is my $1 million DOGE rebate check from the 50% Pentagon cuts now that he has ended the wars in Ukraine and Palestine?
Instead, there are
*over 1000 children still separated*
since Trump ONE:

The " sh*t-giving time" has come and gone.
Not so sure about the other half
It's more important to have a smaller number of committed resisters than a ton of people who come out for one day.
Keep showing up! ✊🏽🇺🇸
It's a democracy, right?
Please look at your history!
Lets say Trump was mistake, even after his first term.
Since US is founded (by committing genocide) it terrorised te world, initiated wars and slaughtered millions of innocent humans!
Under Biden Gaze Genocide started,continued
I think a lot of people will profess there opposition until they realize that Freedom has a cost: If we're not willing to pay it, we don't deserve Freedom.

Sitting at the pool, and there are two men having an argument about whether the earth is flat.
I thought it was a joke! I thought we were being punked!
They were serious. Oh Jesus H. Tapdancing Christ.... 😳
If you're one paycheck away from not surviving, this horror is just one more.
We did this to ourselves. Over decades.
Being able to resist is now a privilege.
It’s not like what is happening was not well documented and communicated before the election. Nothing being done is shocking.
If you can't stand up against Trumpism you're not welcome here, simple as that.
It sucks. But necessary?
It reeks of "Let them eat cake" attitude...
Ideas I can hate. People, not so much. Except for one person and that is Donald Trump. I have Trumpers as neighbors and I am not about to yell at them.
Liken this approach to feeding the good wolf.
Narcissistic authoritarian sociopathic pathological liar wannabe king is bankrupting the government by dismantling, weakening it and tanking global economy so he can have COMPLETE CONTROL. Will be sending us to concentration camps like the Jews and Japanese. Let’s nip him in the bud ASAP
I have no faith in the U. S.
77M voted for him because he's a genocidal fascist pedophile.
70M couldn't be bothered to vote against him for being that. ^
They will cut medicaid, medicare, SSDI. If 100M do not protest daily on the streets in response to that, the U. S. cannot save itself.
Germany did not save itself from Hitler in 1933-1938. It was saved 1939-1945 by a war that culminated in their invasion.
Honestly, it's unreasonable to expect the U. S. to save itself.
Resistance is growing and even Republican rage at electeds is palpable and expanding.
Things take time...
I'm optimistic we'll remove this regime with democracy still intact albeit a few bruises.
We don't give a shit. It is too hard, too inconvenient, we just want to eat junk food, buy cheap crap from China, and watch TV.
Too many USians are too far removed from any meaningful relationship with the country, they're the civic equivalent of 'C & E' Christians: benchsitters.
