    Lots of are organizing and pushing back. Let’s not assume every American is accepting fascism lying down.

    And even if you’re not protesting and organizing neighborhood ICE watches, sharing these stories is also important. Especially since right wing media censorship is increasing in the US. People need to know what’s happening in order to be mad about it.

      Until the fascists are gone, it’s not enough. Sorry, not sorry.

        Sounds like a good way to lose a lot of babies searching for that perfect bath water.

          Absolutely meaningless statement lol. Just because there is a saying (aka meme) that sounds deep ands profound doesn’t make it true.

          The perfect bath water in this metaphor being “not having a fascist, warmongering, narcissist pedophile head of state”.

              The benefit of doubt is wearing thin. The US has a rich history of memorable and highly disruptive political protests and riots, from the Boston Tea Party to BLM and the J6 insurrectionists storming Capitol Hill. None of those happened since Trump took office for this term.

              Maybe that would be okay if your country wasn’t threatening mine. Also if you were, you know, actually dealing with it.

        You are right, look at history, freedom was always paid for by blood.

          Indian independence, South African end of apartheid, Philippines end or Marcos, US civil rights movement, and I could go on. We have plenty of examples where protests, strikes, and civil disobedience were the main catalyst for change, not a violent resistance movement.

            Indian independence?

            https://www.sciencespo.fr/mass-violence-war-massacre-resistance/fr/document/india-1900-1947.html

            https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/06/29/the-great-divide-books-dalrymple

            Mother fuckers out here trying to cherry pick and revision history to align with their narrative. While their leader is openly saying that only violent power matters in the world.

            How much is Trump admin paying you?
