    Yes, and I’m sure that “doing something” makes them feel better. But it’s not gonna change a damn thing.

    If I knew what would change a damn thing, I’d be doing it too. So, aside from wasting time in useless protests that the Trump administration is absolutely going to ignore, do you have some magic spell that can cause them to change their mind? Because protests aren’t gonna do it. Petitions aren’t gonna do it. Hell, someone trying to shoot Trump twice didn’t do it.

        Not the guy you were talking to, but what I propose is on the one hand, donate and volunteer to campaigns targeting the 2026 midterms. Especially ones that can primary centrist or complement Democrat incumbents, but still win the general election. The Democratic party needs more firebrands right now.

        On the other hand, in case our fears are true and we simply don’t have any more fair elections, I suggest concurrently joining your local Socialist Rifle Association and making plans for resistance outside the bounds of the system. Take a first aid class, get your cardio going, become familiar with Signal, Tor, and other ways of covert communication. Save money. Make a bugout bag and get a plan to leave asap if necessary.

            What other choices could there be? Join the fascists?

                It’s your job to think for you. And it looks like you’re on strike.

                    You “hey what should we do?”

                    Me “here are some options”

                    You “I don’t like em”

                    Me “those are really the only options”

                    You “no bring me more, also you are stupid”

                    Yeah I’m just gonna report you for trolling at this point.
