Donald Trump on Saturday made a statement that stunned onlookers.
“He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.” is what he said.
Get the guillotines sharpened.
literally begging for a violent revolt… to go down a martyr for his ‘cause’ and for his master.
Well, no, martial law is obviously his plan. So the question is, how to avoid violent revolution? Can we…just let the house of cards collapse? Just start taking care of each other and ignore (as best we can) the parasite “elite”?
I can dream I guess …
Only viable violent option is to rapidly take out everyone important at once or rapidly and I don’t see that working so honestly something like a general strike(rolling or mass) would be best
I hope and pray the working class is able to find enough solidarity to do, well, anything.
The lack of class consciousness is pretty stunning. Everyone thinks they’re going to be the owner one day and they’ll get to step on people’s necks. Not enough people realize that’s probably not going to happen , and not enough people reject the idea of stepping on necks altogether.
Fear truly is insidious, isn’t it? Flight or fight means the destruction of reason and logic. Without those, emotions reason supreme, and cannot effectively be managed.
That’s the vile secret at the center of capitalism, btw; currency absolutely does not represent value of your labor. No. It’s units of fear. Fear of loss of home or comforts, even fear that we’ll never be able to strike it rich. Even the twisted sociopathic billionaires have fallen victim to fear of not having “enough”, which is such blatantly neurotic thinking, of course.
It does defy all credulity that capitalism, an entire system built on “confidence”, has taken over the world. Only in this case, I use the term as it’s used when we say “confidence man” or, more commonly known as “con artist”. But confidence is not trust; it is an attempt to assuage fear.
Significant amount of Americans support what he is doing so revolution would be unlikely, and people opposed are apathetic or scared. History seems to point more towards American mimicking what happened with Germany after Hitler took power and people either being captive in the country should leaving cease to be an option, and regime change being entirely dependent on foreign intervention than an internal one.
And given that the US has the strongest military things aren’t looking great for change over the past decades if the US fully shifts to an authoritarian government.
vive la résistance
Give the guy some time. It hasn’t even been a month yet. I’m sure he can do much, much worse.
The constitutional rot isn’t subtle when a president quotes a dead emperor to justify authoritarianism. Checks and balances? More like decorative hurdles for a man who treats the Oval Office like a monarchy audition.
Judges are “corrupt” precisely when they remind him laws exist beyond his Twitter feed. Führerprinzip comparisons aren’t hyperbole—they’re diagnostics for a democracy on life support.
But let’s not kid ourselves. This system was always a rigged game, a performative democracy where billionaires and broken institutions swap power like trading cards. Trump’s just the loudest symptom of the decay, not the cause. Exile him to an island, and the next demagogue will rise from the same septic tank.
democracy on life support
I’d argue less on life support and more bleeding out in an alley
no alley here: plenty of onlookers… bleeding out in the middle of a crowded stadium broadcast live on TV
it ain’t nuthin if it’s not entertaining
Wait until “Alaska belongs to Russia, anyway. MAGA!”.
I wish I could ask trump if that means I can assassinate him to save America. And do so live on television, unprompted.
Maybe it’s already too late for that to stem the tide.
Pfft…
Anyone who didn’t foresee a statement such as this happening early in this regime was either willfully ignorant, stupid beyond comprehension, or simply not paying attention.
It was inevitable with these bastard MAGAts.
And worse will be soon forthcoming.

Leaves a lot open for interpretation
