Then we agree. Rather than watch what’s happening, let’s focus on what action to take.

“Hey, this building is on fire! Stop sitting around asking for money and tell me where to find the extinguisher!”

Can we just focus on the fire?

We are watching the r’s dismantle the government. That’s the problem. My texts and emails are from d’s asking for donations to formulate an idea, but they’re doing nothing else that we can see.

There are over 150,000,000 working age adults in this country who are not registered r’s or leaning r, yet every one of us - including our leaders - are just watching it all go down.

Many of the 150,000,000 would like a plan to take real action.

Thank you for providing context for Sweden, where this happened, for the fuckers who think USA is global.

Right. It isn’t illegal, afaik. But what’s going on with the CBS 60 Minutes transcripts demand, the investigation into PBS and NPR, and this legitimizing disinformation sites that claim to be news, the agenda is obvious - and it’s straight out of the authoritarian checklist. I believe it’s also laid out in Project 2025?

I’m just struggling with the complete absence of a grassroots plan for the people who oppose where this is going. Is there nothing we can glean from other countries that went through authoritarian or fascist takeover in the past century, so that we can anticipate and effectively resist a USA version of the holocaust?

So what does 21st century resistance look like? It seems that the bystander effect Germany experienced 100 years ago is happening in the USA now. What would have prevented the rise of the Third Reich? Protests are ineffectual, and I have no idea how to organize or resist - I’m just trying to stay informed in a horrified and helpless kind of way, which accomplishes nothing more than my passive complicity.

Do we need a modern Black Panthers movement? If a brilliant and charismatic leader like Malcolm X were to come forward and lead us, would we be inadvertently accelerating the inevitable martial law or creating the excuse for Civil War II Red vs Blue? Is it even feasible to envision an effective plan from a demographic that prefers pacifism?

Who wants to bet next year, in addition to zero tax, sweet government contracts and whatever other grifts are imaginable, Tesla will get a $500,000,000 tax refund?

Not only that, Delta Air spent $3.8 million to lobby for more slots. United, Alaska, and American Airlines objected because experts have been arguing for years that Reagan is dangerously overcrowded and had been experiencing near-misses.

Anyway, Delta got what they wanted and just last month the airport started allowing more flights.
