Dear Rest of the world: I think you’re still in denial and need to understand some things.
There are three main factions in the US, two of which have actively taken a side: Pro-trump/Maga and Anti-trump/anti-fash (because this is way bigger than just trump). The third group is staying out of it and consists of the apathetic(“I’m too busy just trying to get by”), the dual-haters (“Democrats are just as bad so fuck everyone”), and the frightened targets who are lying low.
When you say things like, “you sacrificed children for your 2nd amendment, this is what it’s for,now is the time to use it” you are talking to the Magats. They love guns and the second amendment but they are the PRO-trump faction–they aren’t going to go against him, they love him. The Anti-trumpers are not the gun nuts, though some of them have been acquiring guns recently out of fear.
The numbers are against the Anti-fash faction: There are a lot of magats/maga supporters, more than many want to realize or admit. They do not live in the same reality as the rest of us. They watch and listen to pro-fash propaganda from Trump, the media, their religious groups, and now the institutions of government itself. They believe it and believe in it. Anti-trumpers are in the minority compared to the magats and the third group. Looking at protester demographics, a large percentage are older/retired, which doesn’t help in a general strike. These numbers will likely shift toward the anti-fash as things get worse, but it hasn’t happened fast enough.
The entire republican party apparatus is completely under trump/maga control, and it controls the entire federal government and the majority of state governments. The Supreme Court majority is 90% in agreement with their agenda, so the regime can do whatever the hell it wants with impunity. And is.
The magas have taken control of the election process in many States. We don’t know how free and fair the 2026 elections will be. We can be sure that by 2028 they’ll have even more control over the election process in more states than they do now.
Trump will invade Greenland, at least if Europe and NATO don’t make it clear they will go to war against the US to stop him and I’ve seen nothing but hand-wringing and “please don’t talk like that” from them so far. Trump is all in on the “Sphere of Influence” worldview with Putin and in that worldview USA gets the Western Hemisphere. Europe and Canada: Stop wishing and waiting for American citizens to be able to depose this regime and start preparing for what you’re going to do about the US.
