Impeachment? Midterms? Those words are meaningless now. The system has been broken and dismantled. You can’t vote your way out of fascism. The fight needs to be fought on every front, including those ones, but they will not save you.
The only way out is for the population to rise up in mass protest.
Alone, there’s not much you can do. That’s why you need to organize. Find other people and groups to join with. Not only do you have more power as a group, but you have other people so you feel less alone and isolated.
Organize. Resist.
very little return
Seriously?! Stopping the march of fascism is “very little return”?! You understand that this will get worse and worse, right? It might not seem that bad now, but they’ll haul away more and more minority populations, steal more power, start wars, and oppress everyone else. You’re not fighting against what conditions are like now. You’re fighting against what they will be when he takes full control.
There is only one way out of fascism, and that’s by fighting with everything you’ve got. But it seems like once you finally realize this, it’ll be too late.
You still could, but it requires taking to the streets in protest. The days are ticking away as he consolidates his power. It won’t always be an option.
could
That’s the key word. Or it could be swept aside like all of your other right he’s taking away with permission from Congress and the courts.
The system is broken. And now it’s being dismantled. Stop relying on it to save you. It won’t save you. Keep trying, by all means, but it’s time for other plans. Organize. Protest. Strike. Resist.
Stop waiting for someone else to do something. Barack Obama isn’t gonna fly down from his Fortress of Solitude and solve your problem. Go out and do it yourself! Organize. Protest. Strike. Resist. This is your country and your future. Fight for it!
STOP WAITING FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO SAVE YOU.
The American people need to do this themselves. Organize. Protest. Strike.
I can see the attacks on the press are well underway. It’s the key to a fascist takeover.
They’ve already got the digital forms under control: Facebook, Twitter, etc. They just need to silence the traditional press.
But most other people don’t. This needs to be shouted loud and clear over and over again until everyone knows what’s happening.
Wait, he’s still in his probationary period at a new job and he committed to buying a new house?! The job isn’t even really yours until you’re hired permanently. You can be let go for any reason at all. (I know this the US, where worker protections suck even after that)
Getting a new probationary job means you can commit to going out for dinner to celebrate, not tying yourself down with a 20 year mortgage.
How many other things is he not allowed to do, but is doing anyway with permission (either tacit or direct) from congress and the courts? You think this will stop him?
Words on a piece of paper only have power if people uphold them. No one’s upholding them.
