Because that would be "protesting the wrong way." The left is obsessed with decorum, and most people seem to think that if we get enough people holding signs on street corners, then they'll have to stop the slide into fascism.

It's less that they can compromise and more that the only policy that they care about is policy that hurts minorities. They'd happily jump on a grenade or march into an oven so long as they can take a liberal and an immigrant with them.

On the other hand, look at how much effort it's taken for the fascists to get power again. The groundwork for the current administration was started under Reagan and solidified under Bush Jr. They had to take every branch of the government by force to get to where they are because there just aren't enough of their supporters to actually get them into office without bending the rules until they break.

Also worth noting that the US is not and never has been a "Christian nation." Not only did the Founding Fathers specifically separate church and state for that reason, but they also didn't declare a national religion and enshrined religious freedom as well for that same reason. Plus, half of them were agnostic or atheists. Anybody who says we're a "Christian nation" is just using religion as an excuse for bigotry.

If God truly exists, he more so loves the atheist who questions the world around him than the Christian who blindly follows.

Not only a fake tradition, but one started by the wealthy to muddle what was a quite literal saying.

Jesus straight up said that it's impossible for the wealthy to enter heaven.

It's always a good time to remind people that MLK's family proved in civil court that the government killed MLK (either through intent or negligence) to enough of a degree that the judge was convinced and awarded them restitution on the charges. And the only reason that the case didn't go to a criminal court was because every judge who read the case refused it.

There isn't one. The exact same thing happened to every brand that tried to market to Tumblr users as well, and it's as easy to set up and use a Tumblr account as it is a Twitter account.

Becoming unmarketable is not the same thing as having a difficult account creation process.

Also not safe from being assaulted by a Republican politician in a women's bathroom, which has happened tons more than by trans women - especially since there's no recorded incidents of a trans woman assaulting anybody in a women's bathroom and the group behind the claim openly said that they made it up in an interview 15 years ago.

We do have evidence of the way this is almost guaranteed to go, however. There have been 2 other times in US history where the government has enacted massive tariffs on international trade: in 1828 and in 1930. The results of both times were the worst economic depressions the country has ever faced, and the world in the second case. The economy only recovered the second time thanks to the planned wartime economy, lend-lease program, and post-war rebuilding which cemented the dollar as the international currency, and the consequences of the tariffs were that the party responsible for them didn't hold power again for 60 years.

One is holding ground that you already own vs. taking ground by force. From a military standpoint, there's a massive difference.

Not that I disagree that it's violence either way, mind you. It's just a different scale and situation.

The two heads representing the east and west coasts, obviously (please let us join you, California, when you go).

For one, because the way that the government is set up means that you would need the cooperation of at least 26 states to ensure control of the legislative and executive branches, and even then, the Supreme Court justices are lifetime appointments, so you'd have to wait a long time to get the judicial branch on board. So you'd have to wage a war of conquest to secure the entire country. For another, much of the country is a burden on California's economy. They're the 5th or 6th largest economy in the world on their own, and many of the states are dependent on their tax money and produce.

I think if you're seriously talking about seceding, the most practical/logical plan would be a coalition of like-minded states seceding to form their own nation or EU style group of nation-states. The most likely to consider it would probably be the west coast and the northern end of the east coast (New England specifically), which would be a logistical nightmare for everyone involved - both for the US having hostile nations on all sides as well as any seceding states trying to trade across a hostile country between them. Though aid from friendly countries would be easily available, as both coasts border Canada (and Mexico on the west) and have plenty of infrastructure for trade internationally.

Tear out the lawn and re-wild the yard? Wild flowers, clover, etc. Less watering and mowing, and not just bees will love it - all kinds of insects and wildlife from birds to deer.
