When will America realize that this is not a joke. They'll be laughing right up to the goosestepping.

Americans know. They just don’t have any idea what to do, and no single person can solve the problem.
One person just about did.

There’s way too many, like myself, who can’t even afford to take a week off of work much less however long it would take to revolt.
And we’d be going up against a military that just waltzed into another country which has a functional and organized military and expect to succeed against them grassroots?
I don’t think anything will happen before a state or group of states splinters off with their national guard as support.
We’re definitely not laughing. Well, not the ones against him - which does seem to be the majority, at least when you’re here.
This is really it in a nutshell.
I’m honestly not sure what to say to the Europeans and other non-Americans posting a lot on Lemmy lately, who seem to think all Americans - even those who have opposed every Trump action and have despised Trump since the 90s - are individually to blame for Donald Trump.
I’m like: Imagine everyone around you decided you were going to be married to an abusive spouse. You never agreed, yet sure enough, one day you woke up legally married to, and having to live in the same house with, a delusional, malignant narcissist abuser. No divorce possible, consent was never required after all. And if you tried to ask for help, your neighbors - who want you to know they absolutely hate abusers! - would spit at you and say, “Take care of your own problem!”
Ok, thanks, appreciate it.

Canadians: Greenland must be the line in the sand. Non negotiable.
Dear Canada:
Issue a warrant for Miller and his fascist wife and abduct them in the middle of the night.
Apparently we will just go with it now.

When trump dies all of these people will end up killing each other for the throne.

That’s what we expect you to do.

One can hope. It will be delicious watching the GOP self immolate in the ensuing squabbles.

Does the story of the burning bed carry any weight?
It’s just one more slap across the face, one more forced sex in the middle of the night and being choked as the fat fuck does what he wants and then the little Mrs. is gonna snap.

Seems like a pretty American thing to do IMO.

There are many who actually believe the midterms will solve this.
The time for electoral reform was 4 decades ago. Time to go through the motions. Good luck, and good night.

Just fucking kill her

American hero Tommy “iron sights” Crooks?

Nah. Just start selling the US bonds that backs the US currency. The USD with crash in value.
Most of the people in charge don’t have their value in USD, they have it in material and speculative value. The crash of the USD will hurt everyone but them.

Personality cults have trouble transitioning to a new leader. North Morea did it, but otherwise it doesn’t really happen often. One aneurysm may be all we need.

I agree, but the ability to strike in America was purposefully neutered. The only real way to strike effectively would be, at best, extra-legal, if not outright illegal. It’s not like most of the civilized world. The “leader of the free world” has made it very hard for the citizens to freely stand against it.

I don’t, but also I’m fucking doing it. It takes all of five minutes. You’ve got the time to do it. You might as well. It can only help. It won’t solve the problem, but it will make it harder for them.
-
Honestly, still not a bad outcome. If it’s happening either way it might as well be sooner and not on his terms. If he launches a coup then no one can pretend to be blind anymore.

The only reason anybody ever had the right to legally strike was due to illegally striking. You’re not worse off than early 20th century trade unionists who literally fought private militias and the military. However, this is what ICE is going to be used for at this rate so y’all don’t have much time.

You know its even worse than that - fascist or fascist adjacent parties are leading in polls in the UK, France, and Germany simultaneously. Canada and Australia only avoided electing mini trumps as a response to trump. And that’s only speaking of the larger countries. When I hear someone on here go off about how the “world” has always known the US is just bad I’m amazed. Can you not see what is happening in your own countries? International capital is making its move, and something is happening across the democratic world.
Cribbing this from some tumblr i saw: “My wish for 2026 is that Europeans will be as critical and vigilant about authoritarianism and racism in their own country as they are about them in the U.S. and that Americans will be as critical and vigilant about authoritarianism and racism in the U.S. as Europeans are.”
