I will preface this by saying I understand that I am more radical, revolutionary, and extreme of a leftist than most. Despite that, I still ask that you actually engage with this as I'm asking in good faith.
When is enough enough? We have elected a fascist into the highest office and handed the keys to him and his friends. Is now not the time to actually get organized, involved, and armed? In my opinion, the time for peaceful, democratic means of avoiding fascism was before the election. But we have failed to do so, and as such there will soon be a tyrant in power. Are we going to wait until troops are rolling down the street to stage any form of resistance, because by then it's far too late. Now I want to be clear that I am not advocating for random acts of violence or an insurrection like January 6th. But is this not a point of radicalization? Is this not where we start organizing within our communities and getting involved in mutual aid and resistance? How much more do we need before people are actually ready to stand, fight, and maybe even die to avoid continuing down the path that we are on? Fascism is not on the horizon, it is here. Are we really to do nothing about it as a society except lay down and accept our fate? Because that doesn't jive with me. That makes absolutely no sense to me.
ETA: To the people responding, I will admit that I was heated and frustrated when writing this post. Having had time to cool off, reflect, and get some differing viewpoints my stance has changed to focus more on what needs to happen first and what's practical. You may have seen that in my responses. That being said, I don't disagree with what I said here, and I'm still frustrated we're at this point at all. I've linked a comment though that elaborates upon what I actually want to see done though, which is a lot more reasonable and is still inline with this post.
Whether he supports it or not, Trump is ushering in Project 2025. The Republican party has control over the presidency, the senate, and the house. Additionally the Supreme Court has been compromised. Disagree if you want but Project 2025 is a christo-fascist plan to overtake the entire government. The implementation of Project 2025 is a literal life or death situation for a lot of the country. It will cause many women, people of color, queer people, and gender non-conforming people to die. This will also kill many services and programs that the working class people rely upon. This will only benefit the powerful and uber-wealthy. For everyone else it will be a horribly dystopic future. Anyone who thinks that they will benefit from this is misunderstanding how much will actually change. Otherwise they would have to lack empathy for their fellow humans.
