      1. Joining and organizing within your local community to create connections with others is incredibly powerful, will lay the groundwork for effective resistance.
      2. We can effect things drastically with a general strike. This can massively impact their income streams, and can bring a government to its knees if done on a large enough scale.
      3. Join the IWW and attempt to unionize your workplace, so that the general strike is even more effective.

      If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Join up with allies while we still can easily!

        I don’t actually think that is all that’s needed. Trump is a symptom. He didn’t write Project 2025. He’s not the one with these ideas.

          Correct. Killing Hitler would not have stopped WW2, and killing Trump doesn’t solve America’s problems.

          I would party for a week solid if that fucker caught a bullet, but it’s not a solution in itself.

          True, but his cult of personality is integral to the power to keep everyone in line.

          Insufficiently deferential Republican congresscritters won’t be successfully primaried because of a mean tweet from Jericho Johnson, John Thune or the couch fucker.

          You’d really want it to be a series of smaller bangs on lower-level state figures. Less important, less protected, but still mission critical.

        Democrats for the past sixty years have fought tooth and nail to ban guns and succeeded in their own states to demonize ownership of them.

        Not only are they pathetically unable to leverage threats of violence against fascists using Second Amendment rights, they are also unwilling. So fuck them.

        Cops and fascists don’t respect unarmed protestors peacefully waggling their fingers at them, they will resume disrespectfully destroying the nation and laugh gleefully while they do this.

        To those who rebuke me saying they are a Democrat that owns a gun and doesn’t make it their identity, you are outnumbered by dipshit inbred armed MAGA Republicans 20:1, so no you are useless as fuck and continue to be useless as fuck unable to protect LGBTQ and vulnerable people from this Orange Shithead.

          Yah, that’s your problem. He has declared war on canada, and we have guns. A large amount of them, and mostly undocumented. I’d say he better not step foot on our soil, but he’s a felon and can’t.

          My 3 year old thinks disobeying me and his mom is the funniest thing ever. It’s maddening. He doesn’t give a shit how frustrated we are, he’ll just run away once I put him down after hauling him upstairs, grabbing anything he can get his hands on just to throw it down the stairs.

          Wait, we’re taking about toddler behavior, right?

        The problem is that no matter how right you are, the Second Amendment does not provide any guarantees for your safety after the fact. Someone has to be prepared to die to go through with it, because they’re not taking a 2A invoker alive. There would never be a trial.
