    There’s way too many, like myself, who can’t even afford to take a week off of work much less however long it would take to revolt.

    And we’d be going up against a military that just waltzed into another country which has a functional and organized military and expect to succeed against them grassroots?

    I don’t think anything will happen before a state or group of states splinters off with their national guard as support.

    We’re definitely not laughing. Well, not the ones against him - which does seem to be the majority, at least when you’re here.

      And you think action will be easier if you wait longer? You are wrong, things are only going to get more difficult.

      Facism is a cancer. You cant ignore it or reason with it, or hope it goes away. The only option is to take the terrible medicine and fight, now.

          Thats true, but i dint think thats the case here. Regimes can always be changed. Sure it might take a couple decades, but even rome eventually fell.

        Well, yeah. It will be perhaps not easier if you wait for a mass of discontent or an inciting incident, but it will be winnable. You can’t fight alone. Yes, it’s going to be a fight and a challenge, but we have to convince the masses that the status quo is not normal any more, and convince the notoriously easy going and anti violent crowd to understand that violence is necessary. If you fight too early, you’ll get all the centrists against you as well - and we can’t have a two front fight.

        Groups of like minded individuals are already beginning to form. Those will naturally coalesce when the time is right.

        What immediate, terrible medicine do you propose? I’m legitimately interested.

          Thats the thing, I dont know what the medicine should be.

          I feel like we are waiting either for an incident like you suggest, or a leader who is able to rally the un-interested, un-motivated, and burned out masses. The left does not have their super star yet.

            Yeah, I agree. The left’s leadership is really just “less right”, but equally owned by corporations. That’s not gonna do anything for us.
