There hasn't been a woman action hero actor like Pam Grier, before or since. She's the GOAT.

Actually, this is what happens when people ignore the wealth accumulation to the top under capitalism.
Probably so they can get money to "take care of their family." That's why I hate the excuse of "If I do what's necessary, then I won't be able to feed my kids or pay my mortgage" people because that's the reasoning of a cop or a Nazi soldier putting a gun barrel to the back of a pregnant womans neck, "I'm just protecting my own." As if prioritizing your own children over other children at large isn't anything other than fascist. Those people are self-reporting themselves as narcs and should be feared like the plague. Everyone's family is at risk now, fuck your own. People need to start realizing the world is bigger than themselves.
The populace outnumber the police by more than 1000:1. Yes, it could be a massacre, but if the populace want victory bad enough then they can get it. However i'm convinced that Americans would stay at home and stop protesting if police start shooting at them, Americans are cowards. History has proven that the US Gov't could bomb and burn a US city to smithereens and Americans will do nothing as a consequence (Tulsa and Philadelphia)
The prestige, if you will.
I'm really sorry for you and your situation, I wish there was anything more I could do than tell you that (as not an American myself). If anything I hope your situation is a cautionary tale for anyone thinking of moving to America.
I wish i could, but if I do, I’ll never see my children again
What about when you're in a situation where you have to report other anti-MAGA to protect yourself from MAGA? Would you rat out strangers you don't know to protect yourself and your kids?
The "but my children" excuse does not make you an ally, it makes you a liability and untrustworthy. What if they decide to deport you? You'll definitely never see your children again. What about other peoples children? Just because they're not yours, they don't matter to you? Children, aka the future, depends on you going out and fighting, not hiding behind your kids because "my kids are more important than your kids." That mindset of fear and capitulation to fascists is exactly what creates fascism, so stop using your kids as a shield from responsibility. You decided to bring your kids into this situation, not us.
There are other ways to help on the frontline that don't involve picking up a gun and getting shot. On the back end as well, people are needed. You have a unique set of skills, stop giving them to the people that bribe you with money and start using it towards your childrens future.
It's interesting you mention why Republicans are so unwilling to consolidate votes, yet the only time in history where they did consolidate votes was to prevent Hunter S Thompson from becoming sheriff of Aspen.
I don't live there, and Americans should clean up their own mess for a change. Aren't there like 11 guns per American? Remind me the reason why Americans allowed kids to be smashed to pieces by AR-15's in their schools?
Citizens too. If you're an American, you're not safe. These people are actively threatening your lives, what are you gonna do about it? Voting won't help you. Holding up a sign or marching on a Saturday won't stop Nazi 2.0. Remember what it took to stop them last time and get it over with already!
QAnon, dude. Wtf.
Romans.
