    Basically the only realistic thing an individual could do that would have any effect would absolutely be violence.

      It’s a lot easier when there’s nothing to be done, isn’t it? There’s no responsibility anymore. No call to action. Despair is simple. It doesn’t require you to do anything, it only requires that you feel bad.

        What as a normal person is there to be done? I shall vote for local people who will resist Trump. I shall vote against Trump and if I’m not allowed to vote I’ll fight.

          Great question. Step one is educating yourself on how to answer this question yourself, but better ask this of you local groups, I’m not from Seattle so can’t help you figure this out. But the short answer is to organize.

          Democracy doesn’t happen only on Election Day.

      As the article pointed out, your fellow countrymen were willing to exercise their 2nd amendment rights on beer because a trans person drank some. I’d argue this could be considered a slightly more consequential issue.

        I’m not paying any money to fucks that bend over for Trump either. Buying and shooting the stuff I oppose is less effective than not buying it.

          I find it hilarious that you and I are being downvoted for being angry and wanting to do something more than just sit back by people in the comments that are saying, “we wish you americans would do something.”

          Keep withholding your cash, fellow prole. We can only force our cowardly brethrens’ noses into their own shit and hope they get angry too. The only way for this to be non-violent is to completely withdraw ourselves from the system in all aspects and en masse. Take away their real power.

      Which might be what he wants. To declare a national emergency so he can send in the national guard on you guys.
