I feel like every second this US administration is not defeated it becomes harder to root out. No time to waste. Shitposting won't cut it.

We’re in a conundrum here:
- The elections were rigged
- The Constitution is a living document but ultimately didn’t take into account technology:
- First Amendment didn’t anticipate the internet and how much quicker information flows. It also didn’t take into account that there could be financial and lethal repercussions.
- Second Amendment didn’t anticipate weapons that only the government or wealthy could have. You might have a shotgun, but they have the ability to wipe out entire cities if push comes to.
- People are in such dire straights living paycheck to paycheck with health insurance dependent on a job. Who wants to risk any of that when they have a family to support?
- The Democrats who could have put a potential halt to this getting any worse are STILL thinking they can get changes after the Midterms
We’re stuck, nobody really knows what to do besides protest. Unfortunately, I think it’s going to come down to life and death decisions before there’s any hope of change.
Shitposting doesn’t solve anything but if it helps some people relieve a little stress 🤷🏻♂️

In addition to protests:
- Joining and organizing within your local community to create connections with others is incredibly powerful, and will lay the groundwork for effective resistance.
- We can effect things drastically with a general strike. This would massively impact their income streams, and can bring a fascist government to its knees if done on a large enough scale.
- Join the IWW and attempt to unionize your workplace, so that the general strike is even more effective (plus you'll get better pay and benefits!)
If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Join up with allies while we still can easily!
The founders had privately owned warships with the most modern cannons available, and wrote the second amendment in the context of a government with no standing army that organized common defense via militia.
The idea that individuals could wield enough power to level cities was never anathema, merely assumed not to be an issue due to the financial limits on the size of mercenary companies in that age.
I don't think the last elections were rigged outside of propoganda but it does knock me over the elected officials who seem to be working toward the midterms when its pretty obvious to me the administrations plan is for midterms to not happen in any meaningful way. Either not happening or really rigged.
I'm with you, I think we all are, but what would you propose we do? I certainly don't know. "Attending protests" doesn't feel impactful or immediate enough.

You could visit your congressman’s office and hold them accountable. Thats why their office is in your county, but hopefully not too far.
But please do attend the protests too, they need to have these protests at media stations/HQs for maximum effects and coverage
Tell people what's happening because facebook/meta musk et al are censoring it all.
Can't do anything effective without organization. Can't organize without surveillance.
I'd recommend taking a look at this online anonymity guide we put together for our monthly meta post over at slrpnk.net.
Tor browser. Go dark. There's resources.
Still going to have govt snitches.
It's already past the point that it will require violent uprising. Voting and protesting are no longer sufficient at this point.
Hahaha are you guys at war now against a democratically elected president? So basically at war with between a third and a half of the country citizens?
Boy I really hope you are having a time shanking people left and right. Remember to ask who they voted for tho, you know, to avoid popping a guy who has nothing to do with it.
That's insane hshshsj
