If the Dems were not just a thinly veiled version of the GOP and there was actually a “Liberal Media” this guy would be on 24/7. If this guy was a Trump supporter and the Dems had kicked him out, Fox/Oan/NewsMax would be running with this ad nauseam. He’d have a job on air ffs.
We have all been abandoned. There are only a few elected Democrats who are not all “In on this” any longer. The vast majority have been bought and sold but have to give the guise of being on our side or there would be mass chaos, revolts, and riots in the streets.
Behind closed doors they are all laughing at us like the GOP has decided not to make behind the scenes any longer and now just laugh at us in front of the cameras at the galas, balls, and feasts…
What is the GD tipping point folks? Are we just waiting for the Trump supporters to wake up and realize they are just useful idiot pawns being played by the 1000 billionaires that want us all dead, too? A national reboot is going to require them to be on board, too, and I am starting to see cracks but man, we have a long way to go in reprogramming people who have been convinced their neighbors are the enemy and not the people in the castle casting a shadow on us all.
its exactly for this reason I’ve just abandoned most social media. The f*+king water is nearly boiling folks, but too many worry whether their tv screen is big enough.
A lot of us actually worry about paying rent and bills, affording groceries, and not being disappeared. We need robust networks of supply and support, cash reserves, food distribution, child care. Study previous guerilla tactics, adapt them to our environments, prepare. If one psycho just goes in guns blazing he’s going to be leveled. We need to start ACTUALLY getting organized, designating roles, practicing those roles, and drilling. It seems to me like a lot of people think it’s just going to be us fighting billionaires. They will very likely retain some portion of the military and paramilitaries will absolutely form quickly around those who can afford it. It’s going to be literal war, against the US military. We are far from prepared.
If you’re so damn gung ho then get your ass out there. Knock yourself out.
I’m sick and tired of keyboard warriors on here screeching about action that they will never take themselves.
The most common response on social media to the democracy crisis in the USA seems to default to a need for extreme violence.
This response seems to have skipped from frustration and “don’t blame me I voted” to “civil war is coming” – and jumped right over ‘time to furiously organize civil society’.
Strategically, this is abandoning fundamental and practical matters. I don’t have much hope for success, those self-limiting ideologies seem to run deep even in the progressives there.

I know there are actual people like this, but I do think it’s mostly foreign bots beating the war drums. It happens here too, though far less than on Reddit.
Fascism doesn’t stop just because you ask nicely. I’m sick and tired of these keyboard warriors that preach peace and kindness for Nazis. No, I’d rather punch a Nazi in the face
By all means be my guest. I love that you’re insinuating that anyone else feels differently just because they’re not constantly advocating violence in every post and comment.
I have a rifle and plenty of ammo for any of these idiots to borrow
I already am. What the fuck are YOU doing about it. Cry harder and cope while you continue to ass up and open your pie hole. The fact that my post triggered your ad hominem speaks volumes about what you purpose is here. P L O N K
Okay bud, whatever you say.
I feel betrayed
Being betrayed will do that.
That morning, they were waiting for a taskforce leader to provide instructions, but Cruz-Estrada quickly realized the men arriving in trucks were not emergency responders.
They were US border patrol agents.
The armed officers surrounded the firefighters, directing them to line up while agents checked IDs. Officers “cleared” the crewmembers one-by-one until they got to Cruz-Estrada, 35, who they said was under arrest. The agents handcuffed him and another firefighter and drove the two away from the forest, where the fire was only 13% contained.
I would feel betrayed too
Trump has betrayed his fellow country folk
I say this as a trans latina who fled the US because of him
A BLM spokesperson said in an email the bureau was investigating “potentially significant timecard fraud on the part of contract fire crews” and during the process discovered that some crewmembers were working under visas. BLM then contacted US border patrol to “conduct visa verifications”, which led to the arrests.
Bootlicking Rats.
Kind of sad to think this alone should be a country stopping moment, but it’d been buried under the garbage dump full of other cruel, illegal and unconstitutional things this administration had done.
Yeah. We all do.
Read a chunk of the article, though I admit I stopped part way.
Specifically, after the part where they note this guy had been kicked out multiple times already. Got kicked out in 2013. Again in 2015. Came back in 2019 and just started working with no documentation/authorization. So kicked out twice during Obama’s terms, the guy fully knows what he’s doing is ‘wrong’ by the govt/rules, yet took the risk anyhow.
Yeah at that point it’s hard to have sympathy.
