So how much more fascism will Americans tolerate before they actually do something.

    I attended an anti trump rally openly carrying a sign and a firearm, what have you done?

    Have you protested outside of Tik Tok or an Internet forum? Have you called your representatives and demanded they do more than hold up a tiny paddle?

    Fuck, I get keeping your head down, hell that was my going in plan for the next four years but fuck me if were not getting into China levels of totalitarianism much quicker than expected and Americans are barely making a squeak. Honestly it’s very pathetic.

      For me, it’s tough. I’m in a super blue state. Everyone here, with one notable exception, believes Trump needs to be stopped.

      You can guess who: 😏

      But protesting HERE doesn’t mean much. Like I say, WE KNOW. We mostly all agree. We also protest all the time, for no reason at all.

      Same for Washington, same for California. I guess we could pack up and go to Idaho to protest, but they strike me as the kinds of people who won’t look kindly on folks from another state telling them how to vote.

      If there were a giant protest in D.C.? That might get attention.

      For a country that blows its horn about Freedom, there certainly isn’t a lot of that going around.

        Brain damaged or not, call them anyways. Literally the least, the absolute least, you can do. Otherwise, just keep reading that poem until it’s too damn late
