I highly doubt the left will do anything uncivil. How can they win back the country? Is it too late?

    I’m not sure that we do. Not in our lifetimes anyway.

    I don’t understand this sentiment as I’m hearing it a lot.

    We’ve elected a fascist into the highest office. We’re cooked. There’s a lot we can do right now, but the most important thing is organizing. Organizing your community, your family, your town/village/city. Organizing mutual aid, direct action, and resistance. How much more do we need until people actually get off their asses and start doing something about it? Like the time for peaceful and democratic means of avoiding fascism was before the election. But a fascist is now in power, so are we going to wait until the troops are rolling down the street to do anything? I’m not saying go out and just commit wanton acts of violence in the name of revolution, but the longer we wait the more difficult it will become to get organized, involved, and yes armed.

      Organizing? Resistance? Armed? That’s honestly insane.

      You’re going to organize against half the US? Gonna start a civil war with every last (fully armed) enemy in your own backyard?

      They could blockade cities from food and shut down any movement in 3 days.

      The Civil War worked efficiently because there was a battlefront. This is more of a Republican Soup.

      Good luck with your local police. They’ll get a federal warrant and gleefully raid your home at 3 am.
