They didn't say that though and now you seem to think I did. Which is bizarre. The point is that a couple of protests a month isn't enough given the severity of the situation and that while blocking a couple of executive orders is better than nothing it's not sufficient.

They're abducting people and sending them to labour camps, openly ignoring people's rights and judges orders.

Pointing that out isn't cowardice, ignoring it is complacency. Showing up a couple of times a month and pretending the rest will be sorted out by someone else is what you'd do if you were trying to trick people into inaction

Where are you getting "roll over and give up" from?

They said its not going to cut it, which is true, they said its baby stuff, which is true. Do you not understand the severity of what is happening?

You're talking about hero's fighting but you're describing judges and lawyers, who have publicly been ignored, and occasional protests. 2 protests in february, 1 in march. The people involved are carrying it out Because they don't think there'll be consequences. So far there hasnt been.

What's the maximum penalty in Texas and California where the planes took off? Every administration member, every ICE member, are they going to just get away with it while people say "well actually, that's illegal 😏"? Do people just go to work and hope things will work themselves out?

Whatever you do don't blame the people who threw the campaign and rolled out the red carpet for where you are now. Maybe they'll get back into power and make sure the people involved face no justice at all, so they can do it again

They're still at it with their "Gulf of America" nonsense

Would it be easier and more efficient?

You'd have to scrap the entire party. Pretty much every candidate, every analyst and advisor. They won't oppose the republicans, but they'll for sure oppose that.

I don't see it happening, I keep hearing the dems wanting to double down.

What will happen is they'll go "we tried to be more like the republicans but people voted republican. So we need to be even more like the republicans" and eventually they'll win because the republicans do so much damage and they'll say "we won by being more republican" and then they'll pass the power back over. You need a real opposition party.

Well think about a lot of the characteristics of the US and maybe you'll at least see where they're coming from. It's not about 100% accuracy as much as perspective. And it seems like it'd hard to shatter illusions some people there have.

High poverty rate compared to developed countries, low literacy rates compared to developed countries, Highly authoritarian, highly propagandised, militia compounds spread throughout.

You you can be taken and imprisoned in a desert camp, fed expired food, put in a chain gang and not that it would be OK otherwise, but you haven't been convicted of a crime.

Constant terrorist attacks.

You can be put in solitary until you have psychosis and youre smearing feces on the walls, and then the confessions you give after that can be used in court.

There was a mass protest of slave Labour and the slaves were starved until they went back to work.

You can be disappeared and have your residency revoked for protesting war crimes. You had someone who worked in your torture camps run to be a candidate for president and they got far.

Child marriage is legal.

People are sent back to a polluted industrial hazard town after train derailment and all the animals are dead and they're complaining of chemical burns. If they complain the get dragged out by cops.

Food standards not accepted elsewhere. Companies can poison large parts of the population and even if they're punished its an amount that still means the profited from it

They took a guy who promoted health misinformation that led to dead kids and they put him in charge of health, even though a worm ate his brain.

Expansionist, aggressive, worships the military but fucks over veterans, complains about first responders injured on the job getting health care, so they scrapped it. Constantly chasing culture was BS, never quite left the satanic panic.

This is why I can't get into it. The whole twitter format just feels so unappealing to me.
