    Well so far they’ve been holding signs in congress… that’s a very effective way in fact I remember the first pustch attempted by Hitler was entirely halted by mild mannered people holding signs.

    Please don’t pawn this off to “democrats”, some vague entity not connected to yourselves. It’s each and every resident’s duty to resist and fight back. Some politicians can’t do anything when operating within the laws the fascists explicitly skirt.

    Seeing the negative and know-it-all comments on this thread is depressing. Maybe some of you need to just go back to pondering which Linux distribution to use and leave the hopium posts for the optimists.

    There is no logic in threatening prosecution for attempting a dictatorship.

    Those who attempt try to succeed. There is no prosecution in a successful dictatorship.

    If this is the mentality you’re gonna approach this situation with, you’re cooked. The demented orange asshole is already building a dictatorship and democrats barely give a shit. “Fearing the consequences” isn’t something they do because there are no consequences as we’ve seen multiple times. You gotta make them fear for their lives. And you gotta give people a real alternative to the oligarchy that is the US.

    A man rubs a lamp and a genie comes out and says, “I will grant you one wish, anything you ask for, whatever you can imagine, your wish is my command.”

    The man shouts, “I want a dragon!”

    The genies responds, “I’m sorry, but a dragon is just too much, it’s just not possible for that to exist. Can you think of something else?”

    The man thinks for a minute and says, “Well, in that case, I guess I wish for the rich and powerful to face significant legal consequences within the existing system for the harm they do to regular people.”

    The genie sighs and says, “What color did you want that dragon?”

        Stalin couldn’t have done it without the vast amounts of money the US sent his way (Russian nationalists don’t like to talk about Lend-Lease), and without the US and Western European countries fighting the Nazis on a second front.

        Even then, Stalin’s psycopathy and ruthless incompetence caused far a far higher casualty rate than on the western front. He was fine throwing infantry into the meat grinder in a war of attrition, because Russia had more bodies than Germany did.

        Any vote with that kind of bipartisan support is a sure sign the ruling class are fucking us over.

        Incidentally, that near-unanimous vote came soon after Senators and Congresspeople had been receiving letters with anthrax in them. And that crime has never been solved. (Hint: it was probably instigated by Cheney).

    It’s going to be fun watching all of these traitors stand trials for their crimes.
