    We sort of had one with the government shutdown. We could have kept it shut down, and made the entire Midterm campaign a giant food and medical care drive, and showed America who really cares.

    But then the shutdown hit the airports, and the big campaign donors couldn’t move their operatives around the country, so the Dems folded, and got nothing. They showed America who really cares, all right - NOBODY.

    These are the leaders we expect to lead us out of the MAGA darkness - the MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries.

    Yup never was impossible OP just getting initial organization and building that with coordination was the struggle. The more of us contributing and getting others into the movement nationwide the less work for us all to do to do it, and the more we get done. Plus stronger, more resilient, and better off we all are

    Example: Who builds a skyscraper faster 1 person or 3,000 people working together with a plan?

    Funny Example: I can’t make sandwiches for millions of people in a day to keep people going but I can make a couple thousand!!

    Just as Putini messed up with Ukraine we are making them mess up here in USA. Side note: Wish we could properly help the Iranian people right now if it wasn’t for all this mess

    Literally what so many people have been saying. Literally all we have to do is stop fucking going to work for one fucking day, get the fuck outside, and march to the white house, march to whatever state building exists and just fucking protest. Stop traffic. Stop business. Stop EVERYTHING.

      I feel like that would almost immediately kick off a civil war. Maybe that’s what’s needed but I’d like to believe there’s at least a couple more options left to try first

        kick off a civil war

        looks around at “detention” camps

        looks around at military being moved around in preparation for things

        looks around at states invading other states with their own guard members

        looks around at civilians being executed on camera in the streets by government-backed SS-style secret police

        My brother/sister/non-binary in the flying spaghetti monster, we are there. Whether it’s one-sided or not is going to be the real question.

          If we get to that point it will be one sided. We will win. We the people.

          Former MAGA are dropping out from what you see online of posts/videos of them quitting, real right people are coming out the woodwork to do even though are minority and aren’t being let to be intimidated anymore, decent amount of Blue people who voted red in red/purple states (to not be ostracized) are coming out in force to do and not just vote blue, plenty of us Blue own firearms (will not be intimidated), and they did not realize we have our allies with us against them too around the world doing their parts
