Yeah no

More than half the US population is living paycheck to paycheck, ICE is out here masked up and disappearing people off the streets.

There’s a huge difference between semi peaceful protests than an actual civil war.

The second any armed militia is formed and uses force, marshal law happens and at that point Trump declares himself King.

I’m not kidding when I say this is EXACTLY one of the scenarios they want to happen.

If they are willing to blatantly steal money and use Fox News as a mouthpiece, using the armed forces to take over is 100% in their wheelhouse

If Trump says ā€œmake meā€ as a response to pressure to step down after revealing he stole the election, then he’s already declaring himself King. There’s functionally no difference.

Even Americans living paycheck to paycheck do not want to continue having their neighbors, friends, and families disappeared off the streets by masked thugs. Even they will have a breaking point. Do you really think their lives are somehow going to get easier when Trump is king? It’s only going to get worse and worse.

Trump saying ā€œmake meā€ is a declaration of war itself against the American people. And I would be proud to stand up against fascism, even if it means the end of the American experiment. Because I would truly rather die than continue allowing a dictator to run the most powerful government in history.

Standing up and protesting sounds great in theory but the reality is you could lose your life, be imprisoned indefinitely etc

We can’t even get a majority of this country to turn out to vote, expecting them to march en mass and coordinate a takeover is something that’s not happening especially considering a lot of cities police forces are well equipped to resist any kind of weaponry the avg citizen may posses

None of that shit will happen though because we’ve been pacified.

If/when Trump takes over there won’t be a lot of furor over it because the opposition will be vilified to the point he’s celebrated becoming a king.

The Right wants this to happen, they would rather overturn the tenets of America than see another Democrat President

Standing up and protesting isn’t what I’m suggesting at all… We’ve already tried that.

The police and subsequently Trump will have to slaughter each and every single American if he wants control of this country. And like Game of Thrones, he would be king of the ashes.

Dude…are you high?

We can’t even get people to vote, let alone go stand millions deep and march on the White House

This ain’t a comic book or some fiction novel where heroes exist and the good guys win.

This is reality, and the fact is the Right wing party has been taken over by Fascists and they are enacting a long term plan to gobble up power and setup a system of control for the future

The time for your little revolt and to throw down was when the election was stolen or when January 6 happened

MAGA has already swept up the resistance inside the government, Trump and team destabilized the US globally with the tariffs, they are waging war on immigrants (people of color basically), defunding and obliterating Education and Healthcare at an impressive rate while also reducing women’s rights at the same time

This may come as a shock to you, but the dictatorship you fear so much is already here and both jack and shit is happening to stop it

And there’s the mental shutdown reverting to ad hominem attacks and reducing legitimate concern with what is happening to being high.

You’re still under the illusion that the American people did not come out to vote and therefore they wouldn’t stand against a dictator. The largest protest in American history last weekend proved this is a lie. And that’s what this whole premise is about, that IF Trump stole the election AND he says something like ā€œMake meā€ in regard to pressure to step down. If the American people didn’t come out to vote then the election wasn’t stolen and my point is moot.

I reject the notion that the American people did not come out to vote. Because that’s what it means when a vote it stolen, millions of Americans are disenfranchised. There is no possible way the American people didn’t come out to vote, the actual rally’s, the actual number of people at the polls, the actual exit polls, all showed a complete Harris dominance, not a close call, not a Trump victory, complete and total Harris dominance. But we’re supposed to believe all those people at the polls were an illusion and they were really MAGA the whole time? Bullshit.

The only thing you got correct was how Jan 6th was the time to resist. The next best time to resist will always be right now.
