What would you have me do? All I can do is vote against it.
That’s all you can do. Also, talk to everyone you know. Mention Project 2025 and it’s goals. Encourage people to register to vote. Light fires under asses. Get mad about it NOW. If Trump gets elected, America is super fucked.
I’m in a super red area, if I encourage more people to vote Trump gets more votes. But everyone around here is so unbelievably brainwashed I just gave up. I’ll vote but I can’t do much else about it.
If you don’t have a lot to fear from a right-wing dictatorship I guess all you can do is vote against it.
If you’re someone who does have something to fear from a right-wing dictatorship, begin thinking about preparations to hide, run, fight etc. because unsurprisingly every right-wing dictatorship has a high body count.
Still hoping common sense wins out, and unlike a lot of other countries that went dictatorship the military doesn’t have the same relative power and authority, but it’s best to have some plans for the problems that could occur.
The most influential person in politics is you. Openly speaking out to your family and friends about the danger of Donald Trump is the best method of his defeat and the preservation of our democracy. All politics is local.
Oh yeah, a lot of good that will do against the propaganda machine with billions of dollars to spend and a whole apparatus of disinformation to use. But, I’m sure my uncle who has gotten angry and cussed me out over politics will surely change his mind this time
You should look up Deep Canvasing. That technique is actually very effective at overcoming personal biases, and it’s a big reason why there was a huge public shift with regards to gay rights.
The propaganda machine isn’t omnipotent, as much as it would want you to believe that.
That’s exactly how the propaganda machine wants you to feel and speak. Parent comment is right. You are the one with the power. Exercise it as if you might lose it if you don’t!
Time for the people of the US to do some kind of a peaceful overthrowing of the system
Sideeye from the voting booth
Goes back to voting
If you don’t think we can win in the voting booth, we can’t win nonviolently, and we probably can’t win using violence, either. Voting is the non violent way to change things.
To win we just need to look at the success of the teabaggers. They ran people at the bottom - school boards, county positions and local city councils. It took about ten years for those to move up the power chain to congress. Of course they achieved power through the backing of tons of very wealthy conservatives, state-of-the-art propaganda and experts at cheating, sprinkled with borderline violence.
We cant expel sex offenders and insurectionists from government, you think you can peacefully overthrow the whole thing?
Have you ever seen a peaceful overthrow of a government before? I haven’t.
