Sometimes those people’s necks just start squirting randomly.
Three things: 1. A general strike. 2. Vote them out in the mid-terms this November. 3. Full scale revolution.
Vote? Mid-terms? We’ve got an optimist here.
Nah, I’m no optimist. You’ve just given up too early.
Not necessarily given up. I just don’t think this entire facade called democracy will solve anything. I’m entirely open to other solutions, like the ones you suggested.
Though it should also be noted I don’t live in the USA, so I won’t be standing side by side with you guys. Not physically anyway.
Vote anyway. If we can’t organize to vote our credibility to strike doesn’t exist
You’re right, votes havent mattered probably since computerized voting machines have existed.
But still, do it anyway. You never know.
Though it should also be noted I don’t live in the USA, so I won’t be standing side by side with you guys. Not physically anyway.
In lieu of that, please petition your government to immediately recognize and support any future uprising against the US government.
I guess it should be noted as well…I don’t live in the USA and am not American. What are the odds we’re all discussing America as foreigners? That would be too crazy, even for this timeline. All the best.
The Orange pedophile already executed a coup to not give up the power on his first term… expecting he would give up power willingly now is just “ignorant and proud of it”
yes, a General Strike… if the people of the USA stop working for a week, that would be enough to cripple the Orange pedophile supporters
In the meantime, you can do very easy stuff like deleting your Meta (Facebook, Instagram, etc), Google, Xitter and Amazon accounts… but that seems like too much to ask of the American people… better descend further into fascism and drag the world down than stop using X
if the people of the USA stop working for a week, that would be enough to cripple the Orange pedophile supporters
They would just call it a terrorist attack from antifa. Americans are terrified of an uprising from black people, it’s why they all have 12 guns.

even better
Europe is its own path. You guys will have internet id before USA the way you guys are going.
Half of the USA already have internet id in some form or another… also, I am not in Europe
Holy shit, this doesn’t work. It’s 2026. You cannot get the runway you need to ever make this happen. None of you even bothered to create the runway. You handed the runways over to the people you want to protest.
The very last thing you should be doing is deleting any of that. You need to be creating multiple accts. Building groups. Building hype. Spreading information and stopping theirs. You have no business ever suggesting a general strike until you solve how to control the messaging.
General strike is maximum effort. Online action is much lower effort. If you can not find success at lower effort activities, you’ll never get success at higher effort. You don’t walk into a marathons without running 5km just because you have big feelings. Need to work up to it.
Vote in better Congresspeople who will vote to remove him from office. The problem is the people. Always has been.
People yes, but also the system is extremely fucked up and stacked against people. If you are unlucky to be born in bumfuck Alabama, you’ll grow up with your asshole priest telling you lies, your TV / Radio telling you lies, your patents telling you lies because they too were lied to and your school being underfunded and shitty.
It’s a vicious cycle that we allowed to get to a point of no return and it is not easy for somone to get out of it.
And this is by design, the elites used religion and propaganda to brainwash a huge swath of people.
I honestly think even they are surprised how well they did, because they were afraid they went too far when Trump got into office the first time.
They thought they had pushed their luck and now a fully open conman rapists was the leader of their party.
But, the brainwashing was too strong and complete, the cult members are literally cheering him on as he’s killing people.
I get that and I could see that as an excuse maybe 10-15 years ago, but my thinking is that in the age of regular internet availability, nation-wide, there is less of an excuse to be ignorant and it’s more of a choice at this point about whether you are informed or not.
It is got you because you are not in their bubble. The tech oligarchy has fully isolated the cult of MAGA.
Cults in the past had to be in a physical compound to keep the lie going, but today you have X, Facebook and FOX News which does not let any outside information in.
And let’s be real, your racist grandpa doesn’t know about lemmy or how to make an account or how to spot news slop.
Again, his highschool education barely thought him evolution, and critical thinking skills were not on the curriculum.
In November he’s going to try and steel the election, if we effective block that, his days are numbered, so get organized locally.
Sorry lone wolves, you had your shot and and all your incoherent takes achieved was a poll boost for him.
Yes. Maga gets tremendous power from 2 main sources. 1. Money. 2. Social media, and also religion, but not much you can do about that.
So, like Kimmel situation, disney had profit in firing him, once peiple boycotted, it did not, so had to bring him back.
You need to make siding with trump non-profitable.
That means, you, an individual, even if you think your choices dont matter, you need to boycott every company that supports trump, no matter how hard it hurts you. Now, it does t need to be a complete boycott. But as much as possible. For example, there are suitable replacements for chrome, and google search. But not really for YouTube. You don’t need the stock for these companies to be zero. You just need the projections to be significantly negative.
This is especially important for the social media maga controls.
They are using it to brainwash others. Not you. They know you cant be persuaded to become maga. So they let you think it is free, and subtly control what you’re allowed to see, and they corrupt young people, spread lies, teach to hate women, etc… they wont show the ones they are brainwashing all the truths you know about maga.
They have this power because everyone continues to use their platforms. So number one thing is to stop using meta, twitter, and tiktok, no matter how much you love those. Force people to use signal if they want to contact you, not WhatsApp.
Organize irl, whatever local movement you align with that fits into being pro democracy and freedom and equality for all.
When people organize, they can donate, and fund. This lets you go and protest on congress’ front lawn. You can have buses, trains, free food, things people need to come and go, and create a sustained peaceful protest. And MAGA will see that. The administration will be forced to call them paid actors. So be vocal. Get pro democracy flags for your car. Put them up in your homes. Maga can control what the brainwashed see on social media, but not irl. So you need to be vocal irl. Social media makes everyone think all the world agrees with them.
Do all of those things, and trump will lose tremendous power.
Even if you act alone. Make the sacrifice. Show by example, and remember those videos of one man dancing alone, and then another joins and another, and once people see the movement they join in. Start the wave.
Looks like America (and the rest of the world) has to suffer him at this stage, unless they go full coup de tar mode.
I wonder what the future leaders will look like for Russia, USA and China…
China is the interesting one. Since Deng , it’s been an interesting and varied toss up of goals and actions mixed with pragmatism and technological improvements.
I wish Hu’s reforms went further, the oppression of minorities halted and Xi wasn’t in charge
Mmmm a very interesting one. I guess growing up during the Cultural Revolution after having your high-ranking dad purged makes you hungry lol
?
Lol sorry I got Xiaoping confused with Xi Jinping (im sick and my head is blurgh).
I was commenting on Jinping’s focus on power consolidation and breaking the term limit.
But watching China has been very interesting, especially their grip over global critical minerals and how the rest of the world is reacting. It’s been a wild ride for lithium stocks on the ASX lol
Good thing no one has set a precedent for kidnapping or blowing up leaders.
We thought we couldn’t do worse than Bush, but here we are. I’m not holding my breath for the future. I’m expecting 4 years of someone not a total asswipe and then we elect mecha hitler or someone somehow worse.
Oof i was watching old Bush speeches about trading with other countries on youtube and felt weird when he sounded smarter than Trump.
Hopefully the next person can even undo some of the cords Trump has managed to tangle, if not cut completely
Fixing what trump has broken will be a generational project, and nobody will be given the time required.

I suggest this.
Edit: to clarify nonviolent protests, at least 3.5% of the population.
US politicians doing their jobs, serving and representing the American people.
The way I see the only chance is if Peter Thiel backs a Trump removal sometime after the midterms. In that case we would have Trump out.
On the other hand, the goal would be so that J. D. “Couchfucker” Vance can serve the remainder of his term and then still be constitutionally eligible for two terms, leading to a decade of President J. D. “I Also Fucked Erika Kirk Because I Actually Hate My Wife Who Isn’t White And Isn’t Christian” Vance 🫡🇺🇸🛋️💦✝️🙏
With some luck diabeties or aneurysm. He looks ripe for it.
Sit around and wait. No matter what you think will happen next election he is old and not the image of healthy living.
Such an unsatisfactory way to deal with orange baby tyrant.
An exceptionally blue midterm this year. Not gonna happen this time around, as it needs a majority far beyond what is achievable in just one midterm election, but the long term clue is to have people willing to hold him accountable, instead of a congress consisting of 50% yes-men.
There’s a lot of justified hate towards the dems, but believing voting for neither serves anyone but the doofus in charge is naive at best
No
So lets do that
He already stormed the gates and frankly, it wasn’t a good look.
