People aren’t going into the streets because trumps goal is to incite protests and respond with martial law and then the nakedly fascist state fig leaf removed begins.
We need to be showing up to protests armed like the far right does if we have any standing chance, but the so called left and liberals are weak and soft as hell, caring more about micro aggressions, trigger warnings and being nonviolent martyrs than actually effectively protesting. And that’s when they’re not being snarky with sharp comebacks on social media thinking that’s actually doing something, meanwhile the fascists have been organizing for decades, took over congress, the school boards, the federal judiciary, built their own media, etc. But you know, kneeling in kente clothe in congress is progress to these soft liberal morons.
I protested for years and I voted since I was old enough in every election and it doesn’t fucking matter. Protests don’t matter when the ruling class doesn’t care. The dis United States is collapsing faster than ever now. Some say it began with not holding Nixon accountable. I believe it started with bush stealing 2000. But the democrats are a controlled opposition party and haven’t done shit to stop them in 25+ fucking years and all the so called left aka liberals have to offer is to vote harder or it’s your fault the country fell to fascism.
As a real fucking leftist and not a fucking pussy ass milquetoast liberal I’ve been shouting at the top of my lungs for years about the rise of fascism in this country only to be gaslit mocked and ridiculed. Oh and banned from most social media platforms because my views are “inciting violence” meanwhile the state does violence against us and the rest of the world every goddamn fucking day.
