Oh, yeah, its going to be painful beyond what traditionally comfortable Americans can imagine, but in the end, the Nazis will have a very ignominious, and probably very violent and painful, end.
Not unless Americans start rising up in massive protests to bring the Dumpster to his knees.
I means why aren't there at least a million people surrounding the WH right now? Or surrounding whatever building DOGE is working out of?
Why aren't there 100M Americans marching towards Washington to tune these chucklefucks in?
Y'all watch France kick ass immediately when it's required, but it seems you've been trained well to obey power no matter how malevolent it is.
America the great has become America the cowed.
Americans are one paycheck away from being homeless. It's not that we won't or can't protest, it's that we can't afford to.
Once he's stripped Medicare & Social Security, a lot of people will hopefully get off their ass.
So you expect America's senior citizens to save you?
Wow.
Wow. Social security isn't just senior citizens, and entire families depend on it, not just those receiving it.
And I don't need to be saved. I'm just here for the show. 🍿
Right now, Americans have too much to lose. But when they start losing it, they'll get ferocious. Protests are increasing in number, in cities all over America, and are steadily increasing in size. If you live near a city, and want to protest, I guarantee there is one going on somewhere near you this weekend. By next summer, every city will be seeing simultaneous multiple giant protests, for multiple issues.
Go ahead, start deporting our children to 3rd world torture prisons for exercising their 1st Amendment rights, start drafting them for an incompetently managed war of economic opportunity, cancel elections which were the only thing offering hope for a return to normality, etc. and behavior will change fast.
If I find myself in a tent city, you can absolutely bet that I will be working closely with whatever resistance force is forming in the camp, and if there isn't a resistance force, I'll start forming one. A Hooverville style camp is the perfect place to gather a motivated militia of people who want revenge/ change.
It takes time for the damage to "Trickle Down" to the people and affect them, and it will affect MAGAturds as much as anyone else. At first, they'll try to blame it on Democrats of Biden, but they won't really believe it, and it wont stick. They will know who is really responsible, so when their children are starving, or dying in a war against Canada, or have been disappeared, they're going to get angry at the right people.
Never forget, MANY leaders have been assassinated by people they thought were on their side. Nobody gets angrier than someone who thinks they've been betrayed.
