Propaganda has a purpose. They want us to give up. They want us to throw our hands up and surrender before offering a fight. What’s better than fighting a battle to win? Not fighting at all because your enemy surrenders. Let's not fall for it now.

They wanna appear bigger and more powerful than they are. THEY'RE NOT.
If they get us to believe they are, we throw our hands up and give up. Bullshit.
Let's go!!

It is time to march.
https://peoplesmarchseattle.org
There were probably more than 100 of these marches across the nation today.
Your post is naive or just disingenuous.
We have a lot of work to do. Not all of it is sitting on our asses playing with algorithms.

Marches don't get the attention needed for people to get the message. That message has to come through other ways that we don't have yet.

But America's been through crap before. Slavery, Trail of Tears, Great Depression, Japanese internment. Won't be easy, never has been, but we can grow greater than this too.
We keep hoping someone or something else will hold him accountable. Yet we don't hold our Trumper friends and family accountable.
Coddling is giving permission.
Forgiveness in advance is permission. We gave them permission.
Yet I see everyone else giving up too. Where are the nation wide protests? Nationwide strikes? Barricades? And has a true American Resistance even been formed yet?
There's work to be done to regroup and fix this in a smart way. It can't be loud or reactionary, it has to be quiet, calculated, sophisticated, precise, and organized. because that's how you win against lowbrow scum after taking such massive losses.
My point is, "rising up" against this outcome, however shitty, would be a tad hypocritical. We already saw this happen 4 years ago.
Can’t wear out the peanut gallery so fast
2. These guys are stupid and corrupt, which ends in failure.
3. They are not "wildly supported" by so many people. There is a hardcore cult that is the minority. The majority don't support them, esp. when they know what they're about.
You say don't fall for their lies.

We say many many (peace)demonstrations and strikes be torn down by police/military even by passers pulling them from the streets. This made the subconsciousness conclude that doing that is not really a option, cause the chance you get hurt is to high.
70% on trolling libs (think raking the forrest floor, his admin picks). Takes up 24/7 news, clicks, reposts and exhausts us.
20% stealing money & making real behind the scenes threats. Mafia stuff.
10% very dangerous treasonous things.
Let's do counter propaganda and post how we're going to kick their facist asses out of this great country.
The fatigue is real. We need a little time. Sorry.
Fuck 'em ALL.
They're all traitorous scum.

Resist: this blatant corruption of our democracy.
Regroup: to get qualified people elected.
Regain: our country.😑
It will be a 2nd American Revolution, and we'll be looking for heads on pikes and nazi scalps.
Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in, except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.
They want you to be compliant. The whole thing.
It's dangerous to get worked up about everything (exhaustion), but it's also dangerous to reach a state of apathy (giving up). I think that's what "they're" shooting for.
We must have boundaries & focus.
Who will lead?

All these gun-loving magas that trump is flushing, may not react kindly to that.
Especially the ones we’re glad he failed to meet~ because that’s gonna burn even more to MAGAs.
Their tears, not ours.
The turnip’s final failure starts Monday.
We don’t need to invent genteel terms just because the liars are Republicans.
“Lies” and “propaganda” worked just fine for centuries. Let’s bring them back.

Dems need Winkler & David Hogg to bring a fresh approach to getting the vote out in the midterm election.

Now Kari Lake has control of the Voice of America.
Same.
It’s not about creating “enemies.”
It’s not about causing some folks to “surrender.”
The founders’ intention was a system that forced collaboration.
That’s where we screwed up.
We ignored the founders’ warnings.
And allowed power concentration in parties.

Yes, it is the Rs who’ve gone off the rails into dictator-land.
Nobody’s disputing that.
But we’d never gotten a Trump if we had stayed—power-wise—with the founders’ creation. No organized party control of govt functions and power.

It was inevitable 👇
lead our country. We are a disgrace. We’ve failed and let down every person whoever lived and died for this country and its constitution.
We never even protected and every living president attended! 😤
The might of the US Military, not propaganda.
The devastation contained in the nuclear codes, not propaganda.
The bizarre insanity of giving that power to monster Trump, not propaganda.
Consequences will prove.
That won't be forgotten.
It's up to the rest of us.
Then repost
Then do something which does not include liking memes or shrugging shoulders and rolling eyes at clever posts
A criminal will be in charge of the United States very soon
If you do nothing, then you're okay with that
Here's a few ideas
