Trump has said that the United States shouldn’t have midterm elections this year because midterm voters often vote against the president’s party. Democratic congressional leaders have said they expect Trump to disrupt and dispute the midterms.
“It’s some deep psychological thing, but when you win the presidency, you don’t win the midterms,” Trump told Reuters in a recent interview. He then boasted that his presidency had accomplished so much that “when you think about it, we shouldn’t even have an election.”
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) told the Associated Press that Democrats are concerned that Trump will try to prevent open and fair midterm elections.
Yes, that’s what I’m asking for the details of how you do it. I don’t know how to do a revolution. My assumption is that the people who confidently and definitely know that we’re doing it wrong must have some idea how to do it right.
So again, how do I overthrow the US government?
“So long”? What’s your threshold for a reasonable timeline for a revolution to start? he hasn’t even been in office a full year.
Also, this is his second term of presidency. Also? If you think the issue is just that a democrat isn’t in office then you don’t actually understand the issue with the US.
The US is controlled by capitalist oligarchs, your Elite. It has been since before I was even born. When I say your people should have revolted long ago? I’m talking about decades ago. Long before Trump.
There are many things you can do to support positive change. Talk to your community. Work with local organizers. If you dont want to be put in a situation where you have to be violent? Fine, push for a general strike. There are groups in every municipality trying to do this, maybe start by trying to get in touch with your local IWW or union block. Just as one example.
US is a big country. Surely there are people who know what to do. Find them, support them. You don’t have to be the leader.
Do I look under rocks for revolutionary leaders?
No, you use this crazy new underground networking system called the internet. Theres discords for like every niche ass party thats trying to do activism now. Its easy to even find MAGA Communists near you if you look for it, and if you can do that I’m pretty sure you can find anything to put yourself behind if you actually take the time and effort to do it.
