We’ve Officially Entered the Next Phase of Trump’s Dictatorship Era
We’ve Officially Entered the Next Phase of Trump’s Dictatorship Era
Taken together, these actions and declarations amount to a significant escalation in Trump’s transformation of his own presidency into an autocracy.
Quietly arm up. Get in shape. Practice shooting. Learn how to clean & maintain a firearm. Get a stash of food & water going. Get ready. This isn't going to stop, it's only going to get worse.
To be perfectly clear, being prepaired and being in shape is good for you. Do that. But lets look at history. Look at the civil rights era for reference.
Being in shape and well armed doesnt do shit. It took one unarmed black lady not moving on a bus to be a nexus. after dozens had already done the same. It was on purpose. It had organization.
Look at how long it took after that before the black panthers marched on the capital with guns and congress got so scared to push firearm reforms, but somehow was not be the nexus of change.
They didnt care abour busses. and being armed doesnt do shit. Organizing does. Protest does.
The nexus wasnt firearms. It was people getting together and protesting every way they could. For literal years.
As a prolific gun owner myself, i dont hold any faith in them. My faith is in something coalescing into a movement. And that movement isnt firepower. You cant beat the united states military and the complex it built anyways.
But you can change hearts and minds. it takes organization. Protest will always be better. Love your neighbor and be a nuisance until you change their heart.
That being said, guns are also an option, but if it takes less than a decade of this bs to get you to shoot someone, you just wanted to shoot someone to begin with. And as much as i own and use guns and, somewhat ironically, abhore violence, im not going to be the person to change your mind if thats what you are set on.
MAGA is a religion for these people. No amount of protests or good arguments are going to change their minds. They only understand fear and force. They will happily shove every protestor in the country into concentration camps or deport them regardless of citizenship. I wish you were right, but I wouldn't bet on it.
Before you put any faith in our judicial system to do the right thing, remember that Trump can and will immediately appeal any ruling.
- To the Supreme Court.
- Who already ruled Trump is all but immune from prosecution.
- Who also already ruled that official actions taken by Trump cannot be questioned, much less investigated.
- Who also already ruled that official acts are what Trump says they are, unless they say otherwise.
- Who also have already ruled that punishments couldn't be applied anyway because they would interfere with the execution of his official duties.
- Who also have already signaled that they are willing to sign onto the Unitary Executive Theory, essentially giving Trump whatever immunity that the original order didn't grant.
I'll let you take all the time you need figuring out how well that's gonna turn out. Go ahead. I'll wait.
Beyond ignoring judges orders more than once...
On Monday, Donald Trump purported to reverse President Joe Biden’s pardons of Jan. 6 committee members. In a Truth Social post that came just after midnight, Trump claimed the pardons are now “VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT,” asserting the power to undo their clemency because Biden allegedly signed it “by Autopen.”
And we are barely two months in.
How’s it feel to fail all those kids who died while you jerked over your freedoms (lol) and duties to protect against blah blah blah it was all lies you all worship money and white men.
Yeah, by the same slack jawed butt fucks who put flags on everything they owned and wouldn't shut up about how Obama's tan suit stole their freedom.
