My fellow Americans and all y'all...

I don't know about y'all, but I'm trying to find ways to resist what's coming. They want to fuck us over. Don't make it easy!

The two biggest ways are to get organized, like joining The Party for Socialism and Liberation or Freedom Road Socialist Organization, or an org more local to you or better aligns with your views. The other biggest part is reading theory! A good primer is Blackshirts and Reds. It will help contextualize what fascism is, what causes it, and how to stop it. I can offer a good introductory reading list regarding Marxism if you'd like, but this is a good starting point.

I made a longer, 6 point list of what is to be done, but these are the most important bullet points.
- What are these groups' position on voting for 3rd party candidates in the US's "first past the post" climate? Genuinely asking. I'm all for organizing and educating, but until we can end the correct 2-party system, these candidates are in no way viable.
- Yeah no thank you. Yeah lets all join these groups so that it will make easier for them to find us when they come for us.
  
  DON'T JOIN ANY GROUP AND ESPECIALLY ONES THAT ARE ORGANIZING ON SOCIAL MEDIA LIKE LEMMY.
  
  Only kind of ways we should organize should not include our phones and should hold no fucking lists.
  
  We are about to live in a mega (nazi) government. For now I am going hide and wait. Luckily for me I am white maie. My dad gave me a Trump hate that had planned on burning instead going just keep it just in case. My boys are going play straight and we going hold out.
  
  I want a fight I want the largest strike in American history. Instead every posting memes and whining online. Or trying to find a way out. Fuck that we can't give in. But at same time can't be joining any groups who will be keeping lists.
  
  When Project 2025 goes in full effect they will be coming for those groups. All I can say is arm up and be ready to fight.
This is actually so true. We're all dazed and staggered. Donald Trump won. But he'll win even more and do more damage if he keeps us all feeling helpless and powerless going forward. We're not.

Nope. I’m done. The majority of this country voted for a Nazi, that makes them Nazis and by extension the country is now a Nazi country. I’m out.

Hence the "keep fighting".

Find a way to resist. Join local leftist groups. Focus on mutual aid, further educate yourself and educate others. Resistance can come in the smallest forms and they're all important.

Keep your head up and keep fighting.
Yeah I’m making plans to fuck off to a different country. This place has clearly become completely incongruent with my personal beliefs and ethics.
a majority of voters, but it still only ends up being about 33% of the country in literal terms.
- Doesn’t matter. The left squabbled amongst themselves and now we’ll have a Nazi president. Again. I’m done with this country.

Despair is typical of those who do not understand the causes of evil, see no way out, and are incapable of struggle.

-Vladimir Lenin

There is hope! It isn't easy, it isn't fun, but if we can know our circumstances, we can know our way out of them, and if we know our way out, we can get out.

Get organized. Join a Leftist org, find solidarity with fellow comrades, and protect each other. The Dems will not save you, it is up to the Workers to protect themselves. The Party for Socialism and Liberation and Freedom Road Socialist Organization both organize year round, every year, because the battle for progress is a constant struggle, not a single election. See if there is a chapter near you, or start one! Or, see if there's an org you like more near you and join it, the point is that organizing is the best thing any leftist can do.
Read theory. A good primer is Blackshirts and Reds. It will help contextualize what fascism is, what causes it, and how to stop it. I can offer a good introductory reading list regarding Marxism if you'd like, but this is a good starting point.
Aggressively combat white supremacy, misogyny, queerphobia, and other attacks on marginalized communities. Cede no ground.
Be more industrious, and self-sufficient. Take up gardening, home repair, tinkering. It is through practice that you elevate your problem-solving capabilities. Not only will you improve your skill at one subject, but your general problem-solving muscles get strengthened as well. Theory guides practice, which sharpens theory to be reapplied to better practice.
Learn self-defense. Get armed, if practical. Be ready to protect yourself and others. The Democrats will not save us, we must save each other.
Be persistent. If you feel like a single water driplet against a mountain, think of the Grand Canyon. Oh, how our efforts pile up! With consistency, every rock, boulder, even mountain, can be drilled through with nothing but steady and persistent water droplets.

I have been seeing some positive vibes coming from .ml over the last day or so. Kinda cool, actually.

Revolutionary optimisim is one of the key aspects of being a Marxist.

I'm just trying to psych myself out with this.

“Do not comply in advance” includes giving in to despair before fighting. Stay strong and ask for support when you need it, everyone 🫶

too soon

Hell yeah, I'm so ready to fight
