I'm also paying attention to what happens to the judges.
That's the problem ... American isn't paying attention ... they haven't been paying attention for 40 years
- Or they have been paying attention to the wrong thing for years. Imagine if your country allowed a right wing propaganda media arm to masquerade as "news" for 40 years.
  
  Bro the average American is more plugged in and detached from reality than Neo was back when he was just Thomas Anderson. They don't even know reality is out there.
- The republicans have, people seem to think this all came together with trump but behind the scenes i 'll bet this is a long con to hand America to the very rich, and its worked perfectly, you just dont realise it yet, there are no more checks and balances, you arent getting another election.
  
  @Aliktren @ininewcrow I think they've been packing all the little local committees for elections and education for years. It's not a coincidence that so many black people got kicked off voter rolls at the last minute in certain states.
  
  The orchestrator of the Red Scare, MacCarthy had a left hand man, Roy Cohn.
  
  Roy Cohn is Donald Trump's mentor, his other mentee was Roger Stone. Roger Stone is the one who got bush elected in 2000 by kerfuffling in Florida with proto proud boys
I'm paying attention. And I don't know what to do. Protesting has done nothing.
- General strike, now!
  
  This I agree with completely.
- Bring more people to the protests. Don't stop now.
  
  Thank you for the encouragement. That is actually needed, and thank you.
  
  Also, buy a gun at your local gun store. Do some open carry, exercise your rights. Make them know that they can give in peacefully, or otherways
- Wwld?
They need round-the-clock community driven monitoring and protection.

Might as well get started catching the fascists in the act.
Where I think this is gonna end up is that one of the J6ers will take matters into his own hands and off one of these judges.... And F-47 will just pardon the guy. That's your Constitutional Crisis.
I have been but a majority of Americans have their heads up their asses
Let me know when a judge puts the orange man or the rat in jail or prison. When they start doing their job, I will care about them.
Also pay attention to the arc of Argentina over the last few years.
- ?
  
  Crazy, right wing politian, sold out Argentina to privitize. Stocks went up at first, but was soon met with out of control inflation. Now he has to cancel diplomatic trips abroad to deal with the dumpster fire he stoked back home.
...and let someone else do something about the indignation and blatant ignoring of due process, right?
