America first to be sold
I like the Woody Guthrie line from his song Lindbergh about the American fascist collaborators in the 40s:
And I’m gonna tell you workers,
'fore you cash in your checks
They say “America First,” but they mean “America Next!”
In Washington, Washington…
Complete hypothetical, stay with me, but if Trump was a Russian asset what would he be doing differently? 🤔
The only thing I can think of is to be less obvious about it.
A properly trained russian agent wouldn’t be so blatantly corrupt, surely.Then again he’s a damned imbecile so he’s doing the best he can with the 5 brain cells he’s got.
You get what you pay for. I have a feeling Trump is doing it for free.
Being an imbecile does explain a LOT about Donny 2 Dolls.
He isn’t a Russian agent he is too dumb for that. You don’t “train” assets you handle them, whoever his handler is, their life must be complicated.
I don’t know how many times I need to spell it out Americans:
Line item #2
You need to deal with your worthless president hellbent on destroying the planet.
How. Tell us how to fight back against one of the most highly militarized police forces in the world and the most powerful army in the world? How are normal middle class Americans supposed to fight back against that? I mean I love the fantasy of fighting back, but tell me exactly how to do it. You tell me that and I’ll start doing it.
I’d be willing to bet a decade from now we’ll know that Trump probably cheated in the election and Republicans stole it. If there wasn’t vote manipulation I’d be extremely surprised, knowing what we know about this administration and the people running it. How are we supposed to fight back against a system this fucking rigged?
It’s really fucking easy to sit back in your armchair and call us dumb or lazy for not doing anything about this. I’m sure a lot of us would love to do something about it, so why don’t you tell us how.
Especially when most people have some variation of, “I am going to work myself to death now for a comfortable later” burned into their head from generation after generation of parents.
The, “No Kings” protests basically accomplished nothing beyond a, “neat statistic”, in my opinion.
Most people are tuned out, my worksite has 1000+ people at it, no one is talking about this stuff, ever. I am a bit, most people do not care, do not want to risk doing something or have shit going on in their personal lives that take priority.
Anyone critical should do themselves a favor and watch the 1961 film, “Judgment at Nuremberg”. The USA judges’ servants, when asked if they knew about concentration camps initially denied it. Then, seconds later (paraphrasing), “Even if we did, we are but little people, what could we do?”.
P.S. Down voting doesn’t change stated reality, sorry.
I think the No Kings protests enabled a lot of people to meet the ones who truly represents them and motivated a lot of people to vote in the midterms. We’ve removed Trump from office before and we can do it again.
That said, it takes 67 votes to remove a sitting president and that would mean flipping all 20 Republican seats up for reelection: fat chance in hell. We’ll be on damage control until 2028 at a minimum and come 2032 assholes will have already forgotten the harm again.
Protests are not about a single day changing anything. Ideally that’d be great, but protests require constant work. Georgia (the county) has its citizens protesting in the streets for over 200 days day. Protests bring like minded people together. Those people connect. Make plans. Make arrangements for further protests and so on. It’s not about “winning” a single day. It’s about constant, persistent pressure in the form of protests that may eventually let the people when, if/when a gov’t backs down. I don’t discourage protesting, but I don’t trust this regime to not cart people away in unmarked vans. Again.
Thank you! I go to the protests, donate to the causes. We really are fucking helpless and it sucks.
It’s a shitty feeling to know that you’re doing everything you can and still have to watch our country speed run to authoritarian.
Im honestly tired of assholes telling us how to deal with this.
One, if you don’t live here don’t act like you would be all Badass. If you are, by all means, come to America and show us.
Two, realize the vast majority of this country didn’t care in November and still doesn’t care now. You’re not fomenting some revolution with a seriously paltry amount of the population and especially not with the environment you described.
It’s not defeatism- it’s realism. Most people dgaf. That is the current situation.
You, America, are the ones who’ve built a culture of violence and guns and freedom in the name of being able to “deal with this”.
Now you’re not doing jack shit.
So yeah. Assholes are going to abound when hypocrites threaten the entire world with their broken promise to themselves and everyone who they shoved the culture down the throat of before threatening invasion, ruining climate mitigation, killing science, promoting religion, assisting Russia, and demolishing the world economy in acts of economic war.
We haven’t built jack shit. Our parents built this shit, I voted for the left ever since I was able to vote. What do you want me to do go vigilante and start killing people?
You sound like an asshole when you accuse people of doing things they aren’t responsible for.
The people who like guns so much aren’t the ones opposing Trump. You should take notes, because it’s coming to your country next.
This is such small pp energy.
It’s also incredibly obtuse.
Tell us how to fight back against one of the most highly militarized police forces in the world and the most powerful army in the world?
Afghani peasants did it. The Iraqis did it. The Vietnamese did it.
You never fight an enemy on their terms. The military control the guns. American civilians control EVERYTHING ELSE. Authorities can only be in one location. Citizens are everywhere.
Organize.
Block roads. Obstruct government and commerce. Hit infrastructure. Dump manure in the streets like the French. Stop garbage pickup. Bring society to its knees.
If those nations I mentioned can do it then surely the “home of the brave” can too.
Afghani peasants, the Vietnamese, and Iraqis all had the support of governments.
The only time they have guts is when they’re aiming advanced weapons at poorly armed brown people on the other side of the world.
Not true. They also aim them at your own brown citizens on the other side of the street.
Am American and this is entirely accurate. There’s few we hate more than another Americans of incorrect skin color, ethnicity, or religion.
True.
Offer the country you’re spending billions against in a proxy war resources that will likely find their way, directly or indirectly, used against the US’s financial expenditures in the war.
No wonder this idiot bankrupted a casino.
I have been saying for years he is going to donate Alaska to Russia…and now this.
I should not be, but I am entirely astonished right now, lol.
Not donate, that would mean it’s for a cause… Putin has said for a long time now he considers Alaska Russian property and wants it back. So Trump will just give it to him as if it was loaned from Russia.
This is also why Trump wants Canada and Greenland, he needs to find a way to balance things so it looks like a win for him… “We gave Alaska back to Russia, but won Greenland and Canada for the greatest usa, best deal ever!”
I would not be surprised in the slightest if he invades Greenland by next year.
At the very least he needs to find distractions to keep the American people drowning in chaos while the country slips even further in misery.
Yeah, I agree with everything you said.
What a fucking nightmare.
Yeah, in case you didn’t realize, he’s literally a fucking traitor, and he isn’t going to stop fucking us over until a violent mob kills him. The longer we wait, the harder it will get. That’s why it needs to be done before the end of the month
It’s been clear since around 2017 that he was a traitor, you think we’re going to be able to get this done in a month?
Criminal in chief.
Holy shit, I thought I was joking.
Hol shit.
So he was Putin’s bitch all along! Who could have guessed it?
Anyway…
Release the Trump/Epstein files
Meanwhile, the files at an undisclosed location
It’s insane that anyone needs more proof.
He’s been pretty clearly working with Russia since like the 90’s.
The Russia investigation origins conspiracy theory or Russia counter-narrative[1] is a conspiracy theory narrative created by Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, Republican Party leaders, and right-wing[2][3] conservatives.[4] It attacks the legitimacy and conclusions of multiple investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 elections and the public and secretive links between Russian intelligence and Trump associates. Trump in particular has attacked the origins and conclusions of the Crossfire Hurricane and Mueller investigations and ordered Attorney General William Barr[5][6] and U.S. attorney John Durham[7] to conduct reviews of the investigations.[8][9][10][11]
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia_investigation_origins_conspiracy_theory
As someone who actually watched the impeachment … Holy shit there is SO MUCH evidence that Trump’s campaign was helped by Russia and that he is basically a Russian tool. Like … Mountains of evidence that people just pretend doesn’t exist.
It’s wild AF to me honestly. People just don’t want to believe what the evidence says is the truth so they called it a “Russia hoax” and that’s that. All it took was saying the word hoax for all of Trump’s bootlicking sycophants to ignore their own eyes and ears.
I think it’s more just about the regular person not having the interest to even remotely look at the thing.
If the large majority of people actually were made to watch and give their verdict… I think it would be pretty clear.
The crazies are a minority but they’re a very vocal minority so that it seems like there’s some actual debate doing on, when there fucking isnt. But the perception of “it’s still undecided” is what serves Trump.
“The evidence isn’t in yet.”
Yes it fucking is Trump is a Russian shill
Shocker! No, not in the least.
Release the Trump/Epstein files
Big enough of a disaster to distract from the Epstein files?
The wrong way, though. This will get the rest of his base big mad.
So that’s what he meant about a “big betrayal” to take the story away from Epstein.
We can’t supply weapons to the country getting attacked anymore, but we’ll give up our natural resources to the country that started the war? Trump is a bitch.
*Little Bitch. You’re welcome.
The republican traitor filth must be humbled.
Jesus fucking Christ. Will someone for the love of God get this asshole out of office! This isn’t yugo fucking salvia!
Just arrest him and prosecute him!
He will NEVER see a jail cell, never. There’s really only one way to deal with him at this point
What did you expect? Trump is a goddamn Kremlin Gremlin.
