Given that the feds are not only not going to help but are actively working toward rigging or even seizing control of this November’s election, it’s going to be up to us and the individual states to make sure our voices are heard and our votes are properly counted.
By doing what exactly?
For starters, building a position for yourself (if you can) that makes it so you don’t, like almost every other American, say “I can’t do anything about it, I have to take care of myself and my family”.
It’s about future generations. It has been for a while.
Welp, guess I’m out
Everyone is in at a certain point. At least decide now what the point is that you’d be in, so that when it hits you know it’s time. Otherwise you’re another frog being boiled and never noticing.
Ie. If the point where you join the solution is “the president is an incontinent, narcissistic rapist pedophile”, then you would have already been fighting a long time ago.
Is it “when they’re at my door trying to take my kids”? Hopefully not quite that late. But somewhere between that and “the US has literally been taken over by a gang of fascists and oligarchs” there’s got to be something that hasn’t happened yet that will get people going…
It’s not “innocent US citizens being murdered by federal agents”. It’s not “literal concentration camps holding legal permanent residents”. Only you know what it is.
If I resorted to violence every time the US pissed me off I’d be dead or in prison decades ago.
It’s a shitty country and I barely care enough to vote.
Boooooooo
I like the way you answered the legitimate question with another meaningless piece of advice that lacks anything actionable. Why are we losing?!
…uhhh exactly because of people like you with attitudes like that??
YEAH BUT TELL ME HOW
Jesus Christ, everyone’s life is different, put on your big boy pants and figure out what that looks like for you.
Edit: Technically they did say “what exactly”. So I guess I’d start with stockpile a decent amount of food (“I can’t afford to miss work, I’ll starve”), think about growing even a handful of edible plants, change your diet to be more modest/cheaper and save at least a bit of the excess in inflation hedges, start supporting farmers markets which can often be competitive with grocery stores. Get to know your neighbors better. Find out who is good at what and trade favors. Learn how to sail the digital high seas, use that extra money to prepare as well.
Again, not for everyone but there’s a handful
