1) Trumps goal: amass all wealth and power via a gangster syndicate (his administration,…)
2) Destroy the country to weaken and conquer it
3) Con supporters and hide plan by demonizing the vulnerable and any opposition

NEW: PublicSquare, a website that lets you search for businesses in your community that explicitly want you to know they endorse Trump/MAGA values, is backfiring as people use it to boycott those businesses. www.huffpost.com/entry/public...
Website For MAGA-Friendly Businesses Backfires As People Use It For Boycotts
Social media posts about PublicSquare have gone viral as Trump critics use it to find companies not to support – the opposite of what the site was set up for.

If someone says they are a Centrist you can safely bet that they have fallen for propaganda suggesting there is a “far left” equally as bad as a “far right”. Reducing all issues to just these two poles is enough evidence alone that they are being emotionally manipulated.

To the degree our government has failed the American people, clearly acting outside what the constitution intended, it is no longer legitimate and thus Americans need not heed it and rightfully can do whatever is necessary to restore democracy (and hopefully make it more democratic than before)

I think it’s very dangerous to assume these tariffs are the result of idiocy. That is the more comfortable explanation, but the better supported explanation is this is a well executed component of Project 2025 to weaken the US while distracting so P2025 can succeed.

The one thing Americans need to realize: Trump’s only goal is to destroy the country.
I repeat: TRUMP’S ONLY GOAL IS TO DESTROY THE COUNTRY!
Don’t settle for the comfort of denial - the evidence is his every action.

Trump achieves subservience with fear.
It’s way past time for the opposition to take off the gloves and do the same. Make it clear when we regain power, AND WE WILL, we’re coming after them with maximum retribution. They need to question if Trump loyalty is safe.

Unwavering loyalty = lies. In order to be 100% loyal , you could never tell the truth about something that could be perceived as disloyal to Trump. When someone lies sometimes, you have to assume they lie all the time. Thus you must assume anything Team Fascism says is a lie. (It is)

Dem leaders not treating the fascist coup as a fascist coup are sending the message that it isn’t a fascist coup so why would anyone know there was a fascist coup?!?

We can win this with nonviolent resistance, including economic actions such as boycotts and strikes. However, we need to implement them with tactics that have proven effectiveness.

We’ve been slow-boiled into accepting that every company and institution in America must be a wealth/power-concentrating authoritarian dictatorship. Imagine if instead they were all democratically run, or at least run by a democratically electing governing body.

Why Dems in government need to walk out and start organizing grass roots resistance.
Government is 100% compromised and illegitimate.
It sends a powerful unambiguous message.
Team Fascism unambiguously own the mess.
Continuing to participate sends message “it’s not dire yet”

If Trump is above the law and does whatever he wants with impunity and fills his government with unwavering loyalists, doesn’t that render the constitution inoperable and define an illegitimate government in which case we are free to resist in any manner that restores a legitimate government?

Most Americans spend their day in an authoritarian work place then come home and watch 2.8 hours of TV … meanwhile, they are oblivious or catatonic as a fascist coup is in its final stages which will usher in an era of dystopian hell unlike anything we could have imagined.

A civil war is actively underway. Once side is pulling out all the stops and taking no prisoners. The other side isn’t even aware they are in a war, are being rapidly outflanked and will soon be annihilated.

Saw a video of a Palestinian child trying to pick up the scraps of flesh that were left of his mother.
And I live in a country where if you call this barbarism you risk arrest & deportation, where protest is ‘anti-Semitism’ & colleges turn students over to the gestapo.

So we’ve got two competing schools of what the Democratic Party should do next. One of them is hosting the largest political rallies in history in places like New Hampshire and Arizona, and the other one just got $120 million from Silicon Valley and is on a book tour.

A fallacy Americans have to overcome if they want to survive Team Fascism‘s blitzkrieg destruction of the U.S. is the notion that efforts for change must be constrained to the corrupted political system where they have zero influence. However, you can control what you buy/invest-in, & where you work

All of the fronts on which Trump’s fascist regime is attacking are important to defend … which is precisely why we can’t. Defending each worthy cause can only be done if and when we oust them and defending each worthy cause now prevents that. We only win with one concentrated effort to oust them.
