My feeling is that if the people of CA don’t fight back with equal, brutal force, America is officially done and this will happen everywhere.
I’m not sure what else one can do.
Fighting back is the only thing that works. Look at 2020. Fighting back effectively kept the number of Trump W's in that time in the single digits.
The absolute cowardice and cuckoldry the Democrats have shown isn't a path to stopping fascism. Time to dust off your gear from 2019 folks.
Visionary battle plan of “sit back and do nothing, then they’ll find out!” (How controlled we are as opposition.)
It’s a joke that is infinitely unfunny.
W's?
Wins?
yes.
Democrats, even in the minority, were highly effective at stopping Trump from getting almost anything done legislatively, and also were effective somewhat at curtailing his executive overreach.
A major component of that was how they embraced the left, which was mostly focused on BLM, as a source of outside power. The inside outside power game can be highly effective when both parties understand their roles.
2025 and Schumer and Jefferies decided on the strategy of curl up and die, after basically denying the base of the party a place at the podium last convention. There are still some good Democrats, but the rest need to embrace their base.
I was just asking about the initial 'W', but thank you for elaborating anyway.
Well the old guard dnc do not want to let the grift that they have been leeching off the gop go away
First video we see of a drone strike officially makes it a civil war. Either side.
I have to think that if anyone is going to fight fight, it’s Los Angeles.
Get ready for the fight to come to your town.
It feels dirty rooting for LA from the north bay but go LA! Grrrr...
(We have a great sports rivalry in this state for those who need context) ;)
Media attention benefits the Trump agenda and the point is to set off the powderkeg. There is no deescalation.
To cause a riot is the point; that's why punishment for objecting to agents was fortified as soon as the turd defiled the white house.
Americans will die, but only those who oppose Trump's agenda.
Nor can there be deescalation with fascists. Trump is looking for a fight, but fundamentally there can be no way to stop him but a fight. Something something they came for the immigrants, and I ____ (fill in the blank).
I wouldn’t be so sure about that.
I guess I should have worded that better. The danger is to the citizens defending our immigrant community from ICE raids.
Americans will die under Trump in other ways too like measles, lack of healthcare, food insecurity, pollution, violence, etc.
That’s not what I was referring to.
Resistance fighters.
