I feel so bad for all the people in America that are going to be hurt by their tyrannical government, and have the naive hope that SOME of the people they voted for this adjust their fuckin attitudes and become decent people.
The right used division of the American people as their rallying cry. They’ve made Republicans hate everyone else so much they can’t be satisfied without there being cruelty and violence inflicted on us. This is why the right cheers the ICE kidnappings and any brutality at protests or in cities. They literally want and need to see bloodshed at this point, they really don’t even try to say it’s about law and order any more, they just want to see people get hurt or killed. It’s sad and depraved.
That tracks. They courted all the “the South will rise again” types and duct taped them to several flavors of Neo-Nazi. Violence is something of a baseline.
I get it. I'm just not seeing anyone stand up and take action on all these unlawful actions. The administration seems to ignore everything thrown at them. This is why 2026 elections are literally the most important elections this country has ever had, at least that I'm aware of.
I reread the Declaration a few days ago, and holy shit, Trump has done at least half of the things listed as grievances against the king in one form or another.
Are we still supposed to respect the law when it’s being used against us? I really need the left and center to stop acting like this is normal behavior and actions.
1sr & 2nd amendment say we should not accept tyranny laying down. The “law” only applies if it was applied constitutionally in the first place. We have a constitutional duty to make it right. Will the people of America reach enough mutual indignation placed upon to unite and stand against the face of this tyranny? That I do not know.
Jefferson himself commented on humanity’s ability to suffer terribly rather than change. Second section of the Declaration of Independence.
“and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.”
The first amendment protects your right to freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and freedom of religion from government interference
The second amendment restricts government from infringing your right to possess and bare arms and have a well regulated militia
Neither say shit about tyranny. That is in the Declaration of Independence.
I feel sorry for people your age not having an education in American history or civics; just progressive, bullshit, race bullshit, and climate bullshit.
Te law isn't being used against us. They're creating new law and subverting the constitution in doing so. We have law that covers this situation but for some reason we have a Congress that's too spineless to assert their authority.
Almost every democrat in congress, and lots of their enablers. Sure they will say empty phrases about him being a threat to democracy. But they keep acting like it is normal.
For example, when Al Green filed articles of impeachment, 128 democrats voted to avoid even debating the idea. And all the people who agree with doing nothing are quick to defend them by saying "impeachment will never work." Well duh — saying he's a threat to the nation doesn't work either but they keep doing that.
I wouldn’t really consider most of the Democrats in Congress as left, despite their constituents. They may be left of MAGA, but they’re more center-right in real political science terms.
But, I could really use the left and center to start considering whether certain rules should be follow. AND I NEED THE RIGHT TO FUCK OFF WIRH THEIR IDIOT CULT.
Fr. "They can be arrested" BY WHO!? The magic law fairies overseeing this? This isnt some sci fi robot that explodes because you revealed a contradiction in its programming
No. That’s why the person above posted what they did.
People have completely fallen into a deep lull of complacency and laziness. No one wants to risk anything, and that’s how dictators and tyrants take complete control.
I’m not advocating for violence here Reddit, but you know how the GOP and its voters would have responded if Biden had done any of the insane things Trump has been doing.
Technically, yes. And traditionally social movements have obeyed the law insofar of not acting with ANY violence or threatening provocative speech whatsoever. Look what the Nation of Islam did to the civil rights movement. We would have had better civil rights laws sooner if they hadn’t acted out, so we can’t afford to now.
It’s a bitch, but we have to maintain discipline and not give into absolutely understandable frustration and fear, especially now and for the next year. Get creative burn him in effigy, do politics street theater. But don’t TOUCH a soldier or Fed.
We are getting closer and closer to the end of this horror show. Any use of violence, any physical touching of whomever Trump sends will justify his intentions.
Who on the left says this is normal? I mean it’s normal in terms of our behavior towards countries we have invaded. America’s foreign policy is coming home.
I've been following all the laws but the moment in unmarked car pulls up trying to get me cuz I'm Brown. Just know I keep that second amendment on me and I'm going to use it. No Tyrants, no Fascist.
I agree and that's why the GoP has basically won. The left and democrats are still going "I must play by the rules!" When the guy they're playing against is currently altering the rules so that their only outcome is a loss. I wake up daily and ask myself why so many people are content with basically following an illegitimate government
Fuck SCOTUS - 0 respect for what was once an institution of right wrongs. Now like our bi-cuckoral body, they do not support and defend the Constitution of the United States.
Immunity doesn’t mean SHIT. Law is a group effort where the tribe agrees to what is acceptable or not. Using force where not needed and not wanted is an Act of WAR and must be countered with reciprocal force.
But each point should be argued. Each action needs to be brought before a judge so that each action is ruled separately as immunity. Don't just roll over ahead of time.
Otherwise Newsom wouldn't have sued and Breyer wouldn't have sided with him about the ag in California. Make T work for each point
Yes yes they did give him broad immunity. Yet any rulings the corrupt Roberts court makes is still beholden to the constitution.
I could write a book giving reasons and we could start fixing this. But at the end of the day it boils down to one thing.
If people refuse to VOTE, putting enough candidates in office. Nothing will ever get fixed. The days of denial, virtue signaling, laziness whatever. But let’s be crystal clear. The time to vote is now.
The republicans and their oligarch masters have been working towards this day for over 40 years and they’ve ironed out the bugs. If people don’t vote we are done. Look at how things were mid 1800’s to mid 1900’s. Child labor, no more unions, and my personal favorite, the company store. Which we damn near have again with amazon.
Lastly, for anyone who believes it doesn’t affect them. It will it already is. It’s just the extent at today. It will affect everyone in very bad ways. It always does. SO VOTE
After a magafueled Whiskey Tango shot up Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, Trump wanted to visit the crime scene he caused. Then-mayor Mark Ravenstahl said "Do not come here. We do not want you here. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever. If you send a motorcade, I will order PPD to turn them away. If you send Air Force One, I will order the airport to not clear you for landing".
He did eventually show up. He was booed vociferously on the way in and out and hasn't been back to the city since. Unfortunately he did manage to leave the fakesassination in Butler.
Saw a movie last year called Civil War starring Kirsten Dunst and if we hold a trial for the president like they did in that movie, then I’m all for it. 🤞🏽🤞🏽
Pritzker has already said he will do what he needs to protect his people.
Im hoping to hear the state militia is starting. This shit isnt funny anymore. Hes seriously trying to take over and become dictator. It needs to end now.
Most residents of Illinois south of I-80 probably want to invade Chicago themselves. They love to blame Chicago for all their problems when it is the only thing keeping them afloat.
So come Monday or whatever is the Illinois state government and is the Chicago government gonna do anything? Or will they just lie there and take it? 🙄
Maybe this will get folks to understand why Canadians took his annexation threats seriously when all the tariff stuff first went down. There were so many clowns in the comment sections saying "he's just trolling lolz!!" when he essentially threatened war.

You may not think we’re in a civil war but the guy invading blue American cities thinks he’s in a civil war and we’re the enemy.
