If you made it this far into the new administration thinking you will have a future fair election, you need to take a good fucking look at the mirror and ask yourself how far you are willing to fight for your own future.
No one is going to save you. Waving signs and impotent chanting never made a difference. No one is going to fix this for you. It’s going to take a collectively outwardly aggressive movement, in the spirit of the armed Black Panther party, to change this shit within your lifetime. Anything short of this you will never see get fixed until long after you die of old age.
If you are not willing to be aggressive in any way to help everyone get this ship back on course away from racists, Christian fascists, white supremacists, bible-thumping mega-church millionaires, lobbyists, and billionaires… Then you should leave.
And even IF you decide to leave, if this shit doesn’t get fixed here, it will simply follow you where you go next.
Fascism is a fucking disease, you can’t ask it nicely to go away. We literally had to have a global war to stop it.
And yet, as with any disease, outlook depends on many factors. The number of cells in the immune system that recognize an infection, for example, can radically alter its progression.
A sudden widespread immune response may be all that can save the organism following an initial exposure, but often a more targeted, adaptive, and coordinated immune response is possible later. It mostly depends on how much of the body recognizes the infection and does its part to block its spread.
This judge had a particularly crucial part and played it to a Th.
It takes a hell of a lot more courage to hold the line with your comrades, like this judge did by laying the groundwork needed for their future victory, than it does to
abandon them because “waving signs and impotent chanting never made a difference,”
take long looks in your mirror to “ask yourself how far you’re willing to go” because “no one is going to save you,”
tell all the comrades currently fighting for your rights that they “should leave” if they’re not willing to be more “outwardly aggressive,” or
otherwise pose for all the other terrified edge lords on here who dismiss activists, predict defeat, lionize fascists, and imply that they’re prepping to do what’s actually necessary to “fix this.”

You are emphasizing the aggressive portion of it, but I think Americans still need work on the collectively. “Get armed or get out” isn’t going to get you far in building a movement. For example, if Alex Pretti was alone and not recorded by a mass of other non-violent protestors at the time of his gang murder by ICE, the propaganda that Pretti was looking to shoot them first would stick a lot longer. Gun for gun, ICE’s budget for weapons per agent is a lot larger than even the most kitted out Black Panther. It’s already stupid the amount of weapons they have stockpiled against peaceful protest. If violence becomes the only way to win as you believe, ICE will put out a purchase order for a few LRADs or other “less-lethal” technologies that will make it hard for organized armed resistance to hold a gun straight. And further, at the first sign the administration can muster up a flimsy excuse to do a “MOVE bombing”, they certainly will.
Elections are state level, and while the fascists and gestapos are trying over and over to take it over from the states, so far it’s not working out. The MN boycott and national day of action happened last month and I don’t think they are saying “mission accomplished, we don’t need to do anything else” in response to 2000 of 3000 federal thugs sticking around. Various other groups are also organizing, like the supporters of Haitian refugees in Ohio, who will use these moments to organize and over the next few months become part of a national resistance network. Then there will be more options for aggressive and non-aggressive tactics.

You use numbered lists and em dashes in your overly verbose reply.
Suspecting that either you’re a bot or, no offense, extremely autistic.
Solid rebuke.
Not a single emdash or any sort of dash in that response, mate. A numbered list does not a bot make.
