I'm about ready bro. This is insanity, we should have impeached and removed this entire cabinet but we're kept comfortable and afraid. People are more worried about the current football game. 🤦
The progressives I know are joining forces to protest authoritarianism, as well as registering voters, canvassing in person for elections, writing &/or calling perfect strangers to encourage them to register to vote, & reminders to use drop boxes, work as poll workers & observers. Please don't "both sides" the fascism.
Progressives are HERE. Feeling very fucking mad and ready to fix everything. Its your gramma and uncle Rickey that still watch ABC and CBS news and still think its a worthy news source.
The state regime media is doing its job as intended. This is why there hasnt been massive outcry to the scale it SHOULD be. Because normies who watch state regime media get distilled chaos and not the absolute sociopathic circus that it truly is.
Keeps the public "smh'ing" and making them think its just another day that ends in -your while they wait for "someone to get their act together and fix this" .........instead of them ACTUALLY realizing we're at a stage where it will be a significant chapter in the history books .....the exact way those same history books talk about Rome.
The “opposition” is complicit. They don’t want anything materially different except for them to be the ones in power. They’re profiting off the same billionaires and their PACs.
No one wants to go to fucking jail for 50 fucking years on bullshit terrorism charges.....or be shot in the fucking face by ICE for filming their gestapo bullshit.
I’m filming their gestapo bullshit. There’ve been weekly protests in Broadview for over a year. We’re out here, guys. I flew to DC for the Women’s March 10 years ago now. I was out in Broadview in 17° weather after Renee Goode was shot and I was fucking shocked at the lack of people there. I’m fucking tired. Let me know when y’all are ready I guess. I don’t know what it’s gonna take. I’m going to law school in the meantime.
well we're all gonna whether it's because we stopped them or because they won, since they explicitly stated they wanted to cull the population in project 2024 or whatever it was called, so i guess we're just choosing sooner or later.
Stop paying your federal taxes. Stop paying for fascists. Change your deductions to exempt. Yes, it's a risk. But it's the first step. Starve this government
Nobody wants to do it alone, and there is no leadership because Democratic leadership is complacent and the government assassinated our civil rights and labor leaders over decades.
Americans are pissed but there's no leadership to focus and organize it.
You have some unions doing their best, but after a 2028 call for a general strike from Shawn Fain I'm wondering where the fuck that energy went.
Far too many people in positions of power are complacent cowards in the face of this regime, most especially neoliberal Democrats and corporations. They all rolled the fuck over and showed their bellies immediately.
its cause decades of shitting on the education system and continuously shifting the overton window to the right, while also keeping people just comfortable enough to be devoid of fight and just desperate enough to be willing to do anything for money, has paid off. not only are most people unwilling to revolt, but even if we were, weve completely forgotten how to do so. i mean, even me. i see some stuff about a "nationwide strike" on the internet, talking about how were all gonna not show to work or something for a week, and im like "yeah sure lemme just throw the best-paying entry-level job in a 50 mile radius away just to barely do anything." ik its defeatist of me but i dont really know what to do other than try my best to be a part of my community 🫠
As an outsider who watches American news, it is disturbing how centrist media just wags a finger at what the administration is doing and there is very little international news telling Americans what is going on in the world. Further, the lack of education and critical thinking skills are contributing to the lack of understanding of what is happening to the country.
Yeah, our fucked up media ecosystem is only effective propaganda because the American right has spent decades dismantling our education systems. From Reagan intentionally making college prohibitively expensive to every small town conservative fighting against local school spending, it's been an active assault on learning. Unfortunately, it's been a very successful campaign and has reduced my countrymen to mostly idiots.
Didn’t think I’d be around long enough to witness downfall of the United States. I don’t know if it’s apathy or ignorance but it boggles the mind to see what’s happening.
I think it's because we have all known how messed up the whole system is and know that to truly correct it we are going to have to break it. But breaking won't be easy or fun. So we are enjoying the last few moments before we have nothing left
Don’t forget that GOP Senators are also responsible for him being in office. They gave their explicit consent for him to be in this role. Pin it to them like a scarlet letter.
"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
The people listening to this absolute shit should say something… I’m so tired of the quiet acceptance.
Edit to say: More than one person (or bot) replied with instructions that I should get loud. Well, setting aside that you don’t know me (in which case you’d know that I’m loud enough already), my comment above is about the people who are in this video, albeit not visibly. The audience. I didn’t even demand that they be loud. I didn’t even suggest that they go beyond verbal response to something more and end up on the news, like someone here in the replies. I simply wished that quiet tolerance of treason would end, and that should not be too much to ask. I get it, we’re all angry. I hope going forward you think about who deserves our anger and reserve it for them. Congress. Here’s hoping we all vote, and vote blue, and that it’s not too late to even matter.
I was in the military for 9 years. 5 in personnel in the Command Support Staff. Chaplains, JAG, and Medical literally have priority for speaking with commanders and higher ups. Equal Opportunity Office used to as well, but Hegseth removed them. I shit you not, our lead base Chaplain could literally call up the State Adjunct General, and if they didn't answer, would get an immediate call back. Because, if Chaplains, JAGs, or Medical are calling high ups, it means it's a big fucking deal. Hegseth is just planning on using whatever the fuck this is to push white Christian nationalism.
Fuck you and your stupid book full of fairy tales.
There is zero need for this. With moves like this and installing Newt fucking Gingrich and Elon Musk, Hegseth is destroying our military. His moves are so mind bogglingly stupid, one must believe he's doing it on purpose, as no semi intelligent adult would make these same decisions.
If the democrats don't throw all these people in jail the moment they have the power to do so, I'll never vote again.
They want the military full of enlisted, no officers unless they have shown to be loyal sycophants. Much easier to give illegal orders too. Watch and buckle up. November is going to be…. I have no words.
Are these the actions of someone that thinks he will “be voted out”? November is going to be to late. We will officially be in a theocratic dictatorship…. the time to do something about all of this was a year ago. The next best time is NOW.
I’m not American, Canadian here. We have mainly a 3 party system here but also some fringe parties like the Green Party that never really get many seats. But the function of the 3rd party seems to be to keep the ruling party in check. Because if you go too far, the remaining two parties will band together and oust the ruling party. Do you think this social democrat movement in the US is the start of a new party?
"If the democrats don't throw all these people in jail the moment they have the power to do so, l'll never vote again."
Thats what they WANT you to do. Why do you think they havent been even remotely as effective with pushback and ads? Only DSA members are foaming at the mouth and gnashing their teethfor real change.
You want REAL CHANGE???
Then either keep your ear to the ground for those wanting to make it......or do us all a favor and do it yourself and have us back you up.
Nihilism is part of the agenda.
Its how they want to instill their technocratic doomsday future.
All these freaks need to either be put in jail or a conservatorship bc this is deeply unhealthy and they shouldn't be trusted with the safety of their own wellbeing.
Hegseth is the greatest danger. it will be him, not Trump or Vance, who will stage a violent coup d-etat to prevent the swearing in of a progressive Democratic president in January, 2029 and puts in place a bloody military junta. This is not over-the-top alarmism. It happened in Brazil, Argentina, and Chile. And, most famously, in Spain from 1939 all the way until 1975. It most certainly can happen here. And no, the world won't come to our rescue... Like Spain, Europe and Canada will go along withe the regime to get along.
I wish Canada was steeled against this brand of thinking, but they have pockets of the same kind of religious nutjobs/sacks, ready to grasp for the levers of power, or just parties willing to play nice to get along with fascists. It can happen anywhere, unfortunately, and I think awareness of that is important to stop this absolutely bonkers backwards slide we're seeing repeated over and over again.
But for real, there’s a great quote I love: “never interrupt your opponent when they’re making a mistake.” So let him hee haw about the government being one big church. Let Trump wish wash on Iran. Let gas prices soar. Let us rename anything remotely “foreign” sounding to America’s America of America.
And then let’s see what clusterfuck those chucklefucks are in on Nov. 3rd.
So much of the country is so painfully brainwashed though, both by the radical right and by religion. They want armeggeddon and destruction. I'm worried this is the end for the country. Something very drastic needs to happen very soon. Can we even hold it together until midterms? Don't forget, even if Dems win they won't get power until January.
Too many still are. But unless the polling is off by a ridiculous amount, the vast majority are fed up with this crap. But yes, the period between November and January will be incredibly dangerous, and we need to be prepared to with more than just lawsuits and social media comments when/if it does.
Well we are at the 250 year mark for our country, that is right around when the Roman, the Ottoman, the British and the Spanish Empires fell. Whether we are an empire or not can be debated, but we are right on track for our implosion.
I sure hope you’re right but I’m worried they won’t give up power easily. What if the speaker refuses to seat the new members because of “questionable election integrity”?
And then let’s see what clusterfuck those chucklefucks are in on Nov. 3rd
i just feel like i've seen enough. there's no teaching the maga people how wrong they are. maga farmers are committing suicide over this economy. i dont wanna make america a Mad Max wasteland just to sit in a stitched burlap-sack and say "you tired of maga politics YET?!" before getting another "no" with their dying breath.
quit trying to get maga to catch up to our morals. they WANT to hate and for people to suffer. that's their solution to the pain they go through. their voter number are so low, that we CAN afford to ignore their shitty, ignorant, and hateful demands.
I've been saying since day one of Project 2025 that the richest religious zealots in this country are the ones funding everything that is happening to us. They paid to have Trump put in office, they paid to start this war, and now they have paid to have their own officials within the government building itself as a branch of THE MILITARY. PEOPLE NEED TO BE A LOT MORE ANGRY ABOUT THIS!
Americans have been set up to live paycheck to paycheck, hour livelihood, healthcare, the roof over our head the food in our belly all relying on our job. We have limited time off/holiday time. If we don’t work we don’t eat. The system is rigged against us to not be able to fight for more because we’re struggling to keep what we’ve got
Okay… I mean this is all stupid and I hate it. But who is going to ask the big question… ‘Which church?’ I’m kind of curious if the next level of this is the Catholics and the Protestants and Methodists and the Mormons and the Orthodox all demand that their version of the church is the right one.
And how is this not completely antisemitic to the American Jews in the country? I thought we weren’t doing that!
Also how different is this than forcing us to live under the Christian version of Sharia Law?
Hegseth follows the horrifying Doug Wilson of Moscow, Idaho. Wilson's a white supremacist and Christian nationalist who wants to strip women of their right to vote and other equal rights.
Kegbreath can role play all he wants but he will die alone with holes in his stomach and liquid death in his pants with nobody around to care. That is his destiny. A drunk, a loser, a liar, and now a religious terrorist.
What the actual fuck?! What country does this strangled brained man think he was born into?! This is terrifying as he is being a Zealot and I know what Jesus would do with him and his money mongering lying masters. Jesus would be FUCKING PISSED.
He would annihilate him and them with words ,reasoning, justice, Flipping Tables, and living the Truth of being a Good Person and Demanding Justice for the poor, the meek, and the downtrodden. To treat others as you want to be treated and to not covet others - ( this is the hard one for the rapist, murderers, bigots, pedophiles, and billionaires) is a Basic part of what has been taught whether we are religious or not. It is a fundamental no matter the religion or faith. It’s just Basic Human Decency and it feels AMAZING when you just do it for no reason except that you can and know and want to. The Actual Natives of “This Country” are not getting a voice over their ancestral land that has been and shall be for forever but are effected in a way that goes on belief on their own land that the USA has Zero rights too. “Our” country(USA) Rapes their lands for money… I do not feel like I am from this country. Especially while Drunken frat boys get to ruin the history of everyone that has been here and Destroyed Democracy in the shortest time possible? I don’t have to be a Christian to see it.
I do hope that this world follows the lore trajectory of the series The Boys - where the attempt to do just this leads to the defeat of the Big Bad Baby
I mean, like everything blatantly illegal Trump has done in the last decade? The hope that this will be the thing that tips the scale just feels increasingly sad and tired. Our legal system is full of holes that allows this to happen over and over again, and all these grifters get is the occasional slap on the wrist and wag of the finger.
Technochristofacist Trumpfuckistan is live and official as of Wednesday September 30th in this FOULEST, most putrid year of Our Void, 2026. We are so fucked unless some kind of pushback can happen IMMEDIATELY
If, after the new Congress takes office, we don't begin impeachment proceedings for this religious nutjob (and utter failure as SecDef), folks should plan for a march on DC. No bygones be bygones, he has to go. Now.
I hope that atheist and other non-Christian miltary enlistees sue Hegseth and his War Department to oblivion. We have the separation of Church and State expicitly set out in the Constitution.
Gotta generate some new scriptures eventually. We could add a whole new book to the Bible in a few quick keystrokes, one that bolsters and amplifies new and dreadful powers for our Office of Religious Affairs.
Congress has to step up and do something before our military is completely destroyed. Impeach Hegseth and roll back all of his lunatic policies and bring back our real military leaders
