I stopped engaging with anyone about this because i just grew too tired and that was back in 2020 before the election. Some kid I went to highschool with that I had recently reconnected with, was posting positive shit about Trump and saying he was just joking about a 3rd term, etc etc, when Trump first hinted at this illegal 3rd term idea. I tried explaining, why is he talking about a 3rd term when he hasn’t even secured his 2nd term, he is dead serious about wanting a 3rd term dude, its obvious and he just couldn’t see it or believe it. Its all a joke, locker talk, etc. The usual.
I have totally given up engaging with these people, maybe other people have the energy to slowly and kindly walk them through to the acceptance phase of who Trump truly is, but I don’t.
As opposed to what? Hoping shit just works out for the best if you just click your heels together and wish hard enough?
Grow up. This is the real world. You’re literally watching your country’s constitution be shit on and you can’t even be bothered to care as long as the corporate oligarchs keep you sedated with your shiny toys and your marvel movies.
I guarantee you that anyone who themselves came from a dictatorship or had parents who came from a dictatorship (like my parents) is shaking their fucking heads at how idiotic your pacifist “trust the polls” attitude is, as though Trump hasn’t already got his people running every single part of the election apparatus.
You have no idea who I am or what I do. So don’t just assume whatever garbage you consume defines everyone in America.
The whole concept of America is based on immigration and diversity. That’s what makes it what it is. Many of us have generations of rebellion in our veins from Vietnam and everything that led to the civil rights act. The labor unions paving the way for workers rights, and even the No Kings Protests of today, the largest peaceful protest time and again in our history. That’s democracy in action. That’s how we change things. By deciding as a people, united, by standing up to the powers that be and telling them how it is going to be.
Every big step forward in our history came from social turmoil and political changes. That’s just part of how things evolve.
He’s literally already had the hats made…
JFC Americans take the phrase “burying their heads in the sand” to some astonishly crazy levels.

They drank the Flavor aid.
There’s someone like you in every thread. You aren’t helping anything.
Plot twist: they’re all the same person.

Still not helpful. They at least post links to protests. You just have a ranting Rush Limbaugh vibe going on.
Ah, what a nice time to remember he died.
“I went outside and picked up rocks to protest Trump!”
“At least I’m doing something, what are YOU doing?”
Okay.
