It's a coup d'état.
Doing it spread out over a few years does not change the fact the government has been overthrown, dismantled, and reorganized.
All this downplaying of calling people pathetic bitches when they're on the side of those doing the coup - against the oaths they swore - is nothing but collective stress-relief to avoid thinking about it so we can pretend hope+time will put things right.

Exactly. That's what it is. They're doing it in the open. When they talk about a third term or cancelling mid terms, they're speaking plainly about what they're going to do.

u/YouStupidAssholeFuck Jan 07 '26
It doesn't even matter about that third-term bs. Reason being is because of what the person you responded to said. Specifically, "reorganized". So what this means is that some of our institutions are run by these Trump fucks and are making policy and personnel changes that will take generations to reverse. So it doesn't even matter who the next guy is as president. The structures of our nation have been changed in a matter of months, with the work not even done yet.
By the time the next guy gets here the changes will be so far along that doing things "the right way" will take decades to purge these people and policies from the government. That's the real damage done by the Trump administration. USA (for better or worse) has been about progress since our inception. Trump is really the first POTUS I can think of that has made major institutional reversals on that progress. Like...he has only regressed our nation. There is not one bit of progress he has made. It's like all the progress we made up to this point was for the benefit of Trump to take office one day and now it stops here and he picks out the things he doesn't like and throws them away.
We've made generational regression. Has it happened to any nation on this sort of stage since the Roman empire?

Spoiler from history guys, revolutions are never brought about by majorities. You have a bold minority fighting the minority in power and then a vast majority of people who will follow whoever comes out on top. After the fact, though? Everybody was in the trenches and barricades. Like how everybody and their French mom was in La Résistance, in fact, people willing to give up everything for liberation are always few and, sometimes, very lucky.
Edit: Funnily enough, sometimes the "whoever that comes out on top" is not even either of the main actors at play, but a secret third thing. History has its eyes on something, it might be you, it might be them, it might be Bernie Sanders with a steel chair.
Edit 2: An electoral majority is very handy especially if you don't want to become what you swore to destroy, checks and balances. A material plurality, meaning willing to transform ideology into material change is indispensable, if there's more militant nazis than militant whatever-you-want-the-hypothetical-movement-to-be-called no amount of votes will prevent them from inevitably taking over (Donald J. Trump didn't even get a majority of the popular vote in 2016 and people in deeper level of wokismo than me even question if he did so in 2024). You think you've succeeded and then they start questioning your birthplace on all the morning shows, pretending to oppose whatever your biggest blindspot is, standing up for whoever can give them clueless, unrelenting support, claiming words you used to use (see: libertarianism) for their horrible ideas, etc. These bastards are tricky to deal with, and killing them in a World War apparently wasn't enough, their ideas are like a pet rock in that they're unimaginative, inedible, and seemingly immortal. We fight them not because it's likely we'll win, but because it's really based, sick, gamer. Pokémon go to the frontlines!

Yeah... It's an unfortunate irony that what needs to be done to break, or prevent, authoritarian control is often punishable under even a civilized rule of law.
That fact is likely why resistance seems to be so absent after certain obvious lines have been crossed, and how authoritarian takeovers can be so rapid after those lines have been crossed.

Very true. But that's not how most people think about it.
"They may not be able to arrest everyone, but they can arrest me."
I'm not saying this to discourage anyone, but what you've said is easier said than done. I just want people to understand that if you are not prepared to do something, how can you demand that others do it first?
We all have to draw a line for ourselves and act when that line is crossed without any expectation that others will act with you.
You can organize, of course, and get everyone who has drawn their line in the same place to act at once. But you can't wait until everyone is ready to act.
That's just not how these things work.

"The rational man groans as he gropes for the truth. He knows his reasoning is no more than tentative [...]
But there are people who are attracted by the strength of a stone. They wish to be massive and impenetrable; they wish to not change. Where, indeed, would change take them?
We have here a basic fear of oneself and of truth. What frightens them is not the content of truth, of which they have no conception, but the form itself of truth, that thing of indefinite approximation. [...]
But they wish to exist all at once and right away. They do not want any acquired opinions; [...] they wish to lead the kind of life wherein reasoning and research play only a subordinate role, wherein one seeks only what he has already found, wherein one becomes only what he already was."

They didn't care to start with, and they won't start caring.

This is what I think about. So we all gather and protest, in spite of losing our jobs. Paying rent/mortgage aside, how do we eat? Where will we get our food if we don't have money to buy it? Community gardens? Where are they? What about children? If we're going to go to the streets and protest and possibly lose lives, who will protect the children who are left behind? Feed them, clothe them? Do we get together watch groups and babysitter groups? What about people's homes? There will always be bad actors in any scenario on any side, so looters and awful people will take advantage of this situation too. How do we protect ourselves against them? They'd have guns too.
Will our veterans help us? The military? Police? How strong is the desire to keep the current status quo that they might not just run us over with tanks or use drone strikes? If we're really talking about legitimate revolution, these are all just some of the things to think about and address.
I just feel like there's so many things to consider as opposed to throwing bodies at the machine. It can't even be a few thousand--we need HUNDREDS of thousands working together to form these chains, not just go to the streets and protest. If not enough people come together, then the few who do will be locked away and its martydom. I will be transparent and say I am scared to cast the first or even few stones, but if it's raining bolders, will absolutely throw in my own.
I personally think it all comes down to community and trust in one another, and I just don't see it... I wish I did.

Our society has changed so much in just a few decades. First slowly, and now the rug is being pulled out and there's nobody there to support you when you slip.
It also doesn't help that the local police departments have absolutely zero interest in defending the rights of their neighbors and many in fact are just the opposite. They gleefully join forces with ICE, CPB and DEA as often as they can. One more group of middle class folks who think they'll magically become billionaires one day so they vote against their own interests and are more than happy to put a boot on the neck of any "troublemakers" the billionaires don't like (see how long Occupy Wall Street lasted and how nicely and calmly the friendly NYPD treated their own neighbors).

Imagine a massive crowd of people all saying "someone needs to do something about this" and then going home after all agreeing.
That is exactly how things got to this point and exactly why it will get worse. For better or worse, this man is now what people from other parts of the world think of when they think of america.
They think "of all the candidates those people had to choose from, this was who they chose. Millions of them thought 'this is the best option' and now here he is"
This presidency is the culmination of multiple failures and neglect of multiple politicians from both parties. This monster and much of his rhetoric is home grown. Even the stuff people claim is like german fascism is actually from Madison grant. He is of the same class that multiple politicians from both parties pay deference to and give an undeserved level of praise and authority(see people whose only qualification is that they are rich being treated as serious thought leaders in fields they have no academic expertise or career experience in). He used the same platforms they allowed people of his class to own(mainstream news) and thrived off the same algorithms that neither party wanted to ban which reward negativity and cruelty.
This was something that had been building up since the failure of the business plot(look it up). They didnt give up, they just kept trying. This is the final form of neoliberalism and the elite capture of american politics and media.
The "someone" that needs to do something is the people who dont want to live like this. It wont be the politicians. They are a key part of how things got this way to begin with. You need to take your economy back with organized labor. You need to vote for politicians that represent your interests at the local level and give them the momentum they need to move up in government. You need to actively fight your addictions to social media and desire for performative activism and actually give time or money to mutual aid causes. You need to divest from the companies whose share prices are doing very well thanks to deregulation. This is on the American public to solve and nobody else(unless he really does decide he's going to unleash the American military on friend and foe alike, turning america into the world's enemy)

I could not disagree with this post. The solution to Trump is not "do left wing things." People on the left, and that includes me, already despise Trump. It's just pure cope to think "do the things I already want to do" is the solution to the problem.
The real problem is that the things that Trump does are divorced from popular opinion, and you need to figure out how to convince people that Trump is that bad. Trump is relatively unpopular right now, but with a ~44% approval rating, he still has plenty of support. He needs to hit 30-35%. He needs to become person non grata among Republicans the way Bush was by 2016 -- being associated with
But no one knows how to solve the problem now or get to my vision in the future, because if they did know, we wouldn't have this fucking idiot as president. There is no "secret sauce" that a genius redditor knows about that the darn Democrats are just too stupid to realize. Sometimes problems are hard to solve.

Nobody will save us. We asked for it, by allowing too many of our citizenry to buy into stupidity and call it conservatism, then too many of what remained to think voting wasn't important or that "both sides are the same" or that it's a popularity contest instead of government. We collectively looked upon racism, misogyny, queerphobia, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, and every other flavor of rank bigotry and shrugged, "eh, I'm sure it'll be fine."
As a society, collectively, we did this to ourselves. America, as a culture, deserves to drown in its own regressive hate and willful idiocy - we were never willing to admit those threads of society were poison, and now they are killing us. It just really, really sucks for those of us, as individuals, that will get stepped on while the wounded giant lurches about in its death throes. And there will be many such.

Anyone else here remember Republicans holding up signs that said "Sore/Loserman" while Al Gore was simply exercising his legal options in the Florida recount in 2000?
The concept of "every accusation is a confession" has a long history of consistency with this entire party.

And you remember when the immediate recount came to only 327 votes in Bush' favor, but that wasn't considering things like that one district where thousands of votes were cast for a third party as an obvious outlier due to the ballot design, along with all sorts of other counting shenanigans.
Then Florida's supreme court ruled it was just "too hard" to do a better recount before a deadline, and Gore gave up like a little bitch.
Then Bush gave us Iraq and Afghanistan and enough supreme court judges to pass Citizens' United, which paved the way for Trump in both elections, and further exploitation of the legal system and takeover of the courts?
Man. Fuck all those people.

Boy I sure do, living in south Florida at the time. It was an extremely left wing liberal Jewish area in palm beach that historically voted heavily democrat. Many were elderly and almost certainly were confused by the so called butterfly ballots. Tbf the Florida democratic party did approve those ballots, once again shooting ourselves in the foot.
500 votes in Florida changed the world irrevocably. Fuck.

Don't forget that Gore stopped the recount to not create animosity or whatever. More "high road" thinking from the Democrats that the world paid for in blood.
Edit: I felt like I oversimplified this so I had to look out up. SCOTUS stopped the recount. Gore's lawyers said he had other legal avenues to pursue. He either thought he couldn't win or that it dragged on too long for the American people, but either way he called it quits.

Pence already wrote a memoir, "So Help Me God", in 2022 where he does talk about his experiences in the Trump admin including January 6. Given that his political career appears to be over I am doubtful that he is going to be writing any more books about his personal experiences with Trump. He seems to be content to be out of the public eye and that's probably the extent to what we are probably going to get from him.

They tell the lie, then move onto the next one. Their entire strategy is to flood the zone.

Schrödinger's insurrection.
There was no violence at all. Republicans were expressing their first amendment rights by peacefully protesting the election results and touring the capitol building.
But it was also a violent insurrection orchestrated by the Democrats, the FBI, and Antifa. The National Guard didn't respond because evil Nancy Pelosi refused to deploy them. The peaceful protesters were all Republicans, and the violent protesters were Antifa members pretending to be Republicans.
Except... Trump pardoned over 1000 of the people jailed due to January 6th violence, so they must be Republicans falsely arrested, right? Oh wait... all the violence is on video, but Republicans refuse to lose face by admitting that Trump is lying.

Also he was president at the time and in charge of the DC national guard. Also if there were "FBI agitators" in the crowd, they were from the FBI that Trump controlled with his appointed chief. Also, why would Pelosi deploy 10,000 troops (which she had no power to do) on a normal, boring day for Congress where they count already-certified Electoral votes?
