Wrong community. This dystopia is about get real interesting, real fast 😬

You can't beat Trump's brand of fascism with spineless morally flexible subservient people. People are going to have to fight back do what they can. Dems are already rolling over in advance and some are going to fight with what resources they have. It is going to be rough.

The dems are the wimpy kids who internalized being nice to their bullies will somehow earn them respect and show they are the better people. In reality their abusers only hold them in even more contempt and spit at them at every turn.

Don’t forget to put all the books in a pile and set fire to them. And smash their shop windows.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 1 points 3 hours ago

They have been doing that for years against the 'wokes' all the while publishing books that they claim the wokes want to burn when they never did. In their minds anything other than unmitigated cheerleading and throwing support is tantamount to a book burning.

Nice, by the book. The fascist admin guide as seen in most of Europe, recently

When again are americans using their right to bear arms to protect themselves against an authoritarian government? If you dont do it now never again use this argument for the second amendment.

If any of us actually find ourselves in that situation, it would be unwise to post about it on the internet, even if someone is calling you a phoney.

Every post we make here is getting recorded by the NSA.

A lot of Americans don't feel this is authoritarian and actually welcome it. They would love to have Trump as president for life.

Yeah and that is one the reasons the argument is dumb. Fascists often are supported by big parts of the population. They arent going to be displaced by them. Especially in america

Our arms don't exactly match theirs. The military has a lot more budget than citizens.

Dude, if they didn't rise up when the kids were cages during Trump's first term then it is clear they are the brownshirts.

[–] Tyfud@lemmy.world 15 points 8 hours ago

Right, which is why the whole 2nd amendment argument is silly in this day and age.
