This, 100%. Fanning the flames of outrage only works on people who are already on your side.

I think their plan is to break every public institution, privatize it and buy it back for one tenth of its worth.

Same thing happened in the USSR in the 90s.

“This is not what I voted for”

This is why anti-American rhetoric is being pushed to you

As a Canadian, I can assure you the anti-american sentiment does not come from any rhetoric being pushed. The actions of trump and co are quite enough.

I don’t think you can claim refugee status in Canada if you are an American citizen.

At that point, he’ll die, Vance will take his place, and will be so un-charismatic that he’ll be defeated by a Democrat in 2028 which will find themselves with all this power thanks to the Supreme Court… but will prefer to take the high road and reach across the aisle only to get fucked once again.

Well, I tried.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see political opponents falling from windows before the next midterms.

This is what happens when there is no more rule of law. Now migrants are sent away, tomorrow citizens will be arbitrarily jailed and criminals freed, next political opponents will be gunned in the streets while the cops will be told to look the other way.

Wake up US. Fight this, no one will if you don’t.

Tariffs don’t work like that. They are taxes in foreign goods, so Americans are the ones paying.

This sounds so much like the “when the Communist revolution comes” of old Soviet countries…

These days the only hope I have left for the US is that everyone on the left become a dem party member and primary the shit out of all these “high road” cowards.

Trump and co won’t stop, and there won’t be a backlash if it’s not supported politically.

I see a lot of negative comments, but the sad truth is that resistance needs a political alternative, and Trump won’t stop.

So why don’t you try to put pressure on Dems so they represent you better? Ask them to take a real political position, publicly. Nobody should give them any money before they do.

This. Even if they don’t have any real power in the Senate or the House, they should be fighting and actively resisting on every front.

Protests, occupations, or any other popular movement initiated by the people will serve nothing unless they are clearly supported by the Democrats.

I don’t think it’s a distraction, Trump’s been talking about tariffs since he took office. And besides it seems clear he doesn’t give two shits about what people say.

Trump and co have 2 years (until the midterms) to bankrupt the US, let Bezos, Musk and Thiel buy whatever is left that can turn a profit (energy, utilities, etc.) and put loyalists in charge of the election in key states.

See USSR in the 90s.

If Democrats had some sort of plan against what’s happening, they would ALL be saying this, over and over, to all journalists in every news organization and podcast.

They should lead the pushback but they look like spectators.

The only thing at this point that could prevent the USA from annexing Canada is a civil war to deal with. So yeah, it’s gonna get worse before it gets better.

I fucking love NYC

Yeah but remember, ACAB /s

Social media contributes to the polarization of public discourse and should absolutely be boycotted. However, this polarization manifests in various ways, and your comment is a good example of this. When everything becomes a purity test, we fall into extremism. To counter the rise of fascism, you must be willing to unite with those who do not share your opinions.
