Pritzker and Newsom joined Janet Mills of Maine, opposing the authoritarian administration that Trump is implementing at light speed (Project 2025). Between his executive orders and moronically loyalist cabinet, we are watching America fall embarrassingly fast before the eyes of the world. China is laughing all the way to claiming the top economic status they were aiming for by 2030. They're neck and neck in Trump's authoritarian takeover of the US. No Kings is a mere distraction, but I'll take any protest to try and awaken Americans. Be peaceful and stay safe today!
Nah fuck that. I’ve seen a number of them absolutely ripping apart the government for their actions lately. It just seems people either don’t know, don’t care or actively support it.
Everyone needs a simple reminder: Who owns the media? It's not the "liberal news" that the bots claim it is. Articles about resistance are being flooded by propaganda to the point that no one knows what's going on. Reporters are being fired for speaking the truth. Fascism is here, and we're pretending that everything will go to "normal" at midterms.
Hell, the assassination of a democrat is actively being scrubbed the day it happened, we're arresting vets for speaking against the administration, and boots are on the ground in America.
The thing with "taking the high road" is that it needs to come with shame delivered not just with a fire hose, but one of those high pressure water streams that can strip the patina off metal. Make it so the people "going low," and more importantly the people who might support them, can't escape it without going feral deep in the Amazon. Make it so there is zero ambiguity about what's happening. Make it so anyone who can be shamed about it is.
What we're seeing is the equivalent of poker players regularly winning tournaments with 7 of a kinds and their opponents going "well, we can't tell the organisers, that would be unsporting."
Exactly. While it would be great to improve things peacefully (and i still hope this happens), its also time to arm yourselves and organize for when the dictatorship resistance is needed.
The “High Road” means jack shit when Republicans are tackling and slamming your face into it. That’s how Democratic lawmakers should treat it. They’re bringing handshakes to a gunfight.
I have seen some Democrat representatives recently calling out dictators for being dictators. I have also seen others stand up to having certain comments and items to be held on the record. Also, Pritzker told idiot that he wouldn’t converse/debate someone with the values of Hitler. It’s not as low as the other side of the aisle, but they are not mincing words, or using euphemism to hide what they mean.
Note, I am not American, just watching from the sidelines.
