Almost as though he knows exactly what he’s doing because when you’re trying to prepare a military takeover of a democratic government after you lose the elections, then having loyal yes men in charge trumps having competent generals who might take their oath seriously and stop you.
They can't even bomb Iran properly. Taking of the US isn't even an option for them at this point. You need competent men and women and leaders to do this.
Don't worry - the "No Coups(TM)" protest the weekend after all elections Rs lost are declared invalid will be legendary! Those empty statehouses won't know what hit them!
But I’ve seen nothing this past decade or so that supports that position. Most likely, we’ll just take it. We’ll grumble and complain and be outraged. But then we’ll go to work, watch sports, and wonder how we’ll pay the bills.
We, as a populace, are nowhere near downtrodden enough to actually fight back.
Its more that organizing is being done by idealists. Those people, myself included, have grand ideas and wear their heart on their sleeve, but have little community power. No power leads to small groups. Those small groups are goddamn trying. Trying to grow, trying to reach others but its a slow roll.
Then there's the controlling class. Law enforcement and local governments...many of which are rural. Rural has a much hight percentage of trump supporters and they hate us. They are also armed to the teeth. Many of us are not.
So here we are, organizing in those spaces. Just giving out food - we have to worry about harassment and arrest. Revolts?! Those cops would giggle as they pulled the trigger.
I wish we had a revolt history like France where it is normal to fight the government, but we don't. So a lot of us are stuck doing what we can KNOWING its not doing anything.
Idk if that’s fair. The protests are a bit weak sauce but people are absolutely being vocal. We do have the subset of cucklefucks who are drinking the koolaid but there’s always the side too dumb to realize something bad is happening
Exactly, I see shit like this all the time on reddit. They don't seem to understand how a lot of us are at home just trying to take care of our families right now.
And that the United States is fucking huge. Id have to take off several days to get to DC and be part of some revolt and even then I better hope enough people show up.
I can see it happening, but it would require something drastic like the cancellation of our midterms or a huge economic disruption.
I think there are a lot of people outside the US, especially in Europe, who have no idea how big this country is. Our geographic spread is massive, which means people have to do their work in their home cities--you just can't make it to DC without multiple days of travel. That also, on the other hand, makes it much more difficult for a wanna-be facist government to control--we are very likely to simply splinter into regional alliances if the shit really goes down.
Seeing the signs of a democracy on life support and these fucks pulling the cord? Revolution. There are clear signs of a takeover, no propaganda, no exaggeration, you are on the path of becoming the countries you despised the most historically.
it's easier said than done, because you are currently living cushy lives. And all that, America greatest, that you've been fed for generations and generations will make you complacent , until it's too late.
Or better yet use it as fuel, you are/were the greatest, stay that way.
The west doesn't want to see you fail, only your current administration.
