Too bad our cops are armed like a paramilitary force. You would probably see a lot mote activate protests if they weren’t shooting people in the face and tear gassing entire city blocks. I absolutely get the need to be courageous and stand up against fascism, but we need to be practical about the pressures being used to keep people from standing up. The wealthy have spent decades putting larger and larger roadblocks between the American people and their government, to the point that the very real and massive protests so far have been almost entirely ineffectual. Calling for a general strike or pointing at another country and expecting it to just happen in the US is ignoring the reality and nuance of the situation and only services to make people feel even more powerless.
Public support for ICE is at an all-time low, and even deep red districts are electing democrats in special elections. What we’re doing now is working. I want to believe the noose is tightening on Trump & co.
MAGA only has a one vote lead in the House, and seats are flipping so fast, MAGA may lose their majority BEFORE the Midterms, which would really blow their election interference strategies. And be fucking hilarious.
The DNC should be recruiting Republican Reps to immediately retire, offering them big cash bonuses if they leave now. That’s what MAGA would do.
Maybe talk to some big Democratic donors, and see if they’ll hire some MAGA Congressman for a high paid cushy job where he can’t do much damage. Then fire him when MAGA falls.
Look at that

Not to mention that violent protests is exactly what Trump wants.
