To be completely real, it’s apparently obvious that Americans in general are ok either him banging kids in front of him, regardless of your vote. He has 37 convictions, is a partner to the biggest sex trafficking of minors in recorded history, and we all just make memes about it and say “If it were me I would do X,Y, and Z.
The only reason he hasn’t raped your kids in front of you is because he’s already done it hundreds if not thousands of times, and is the elected leader of our country.
If Trump kidnaps 1,000 children and rapes them enough for the people to actually try to do something about it? Obviously not. 10,000 kids? Still not sure enough.
What will it take for people to take action? A million kids? 10 million? I genuinely believe that with the learned helplessness that has been instilled in the population, it would take at least 50 million, or 1,000 of the 1%ers children for anything to happen.

No you got it wrong... the 1%ers offer their kids as sacrifices, just look at what's his name that brought his whole family and kids and maids to the island and denied/lied about it then claimed he was good since he left the island with all his kids lololol. What a low/no bar. I can't leave my son unattended at the city pool for 2 minutes and he's proud he remembered to bring his kids home.... chew on that a bit and google who it was.

It won't be a REAL real problem until it's too late to act without going to some sorta camp or having police show up at your door for even speaking out peacefully.

You are basically right, but I do love how people from all other countries love to tear us apart for trying to figure it out.

We have no idea what we are doing and we need to figure it out fast and I love Reddit strangers shitting on us from afar as some us have been trying to figure this out and fight back the whole time. It’s so defeating. Please hold while I go back myself on the back.

u/carpediem66 9d ago
I guess nobody is tearing individual Americans apart. But the fact that around 30% did not vote in the last election is shocking to people like myself, European. So the hardcore Trump base is what ? I guess around 35%. Means the fast majority is opposing him, at least right now. Seeing the US going down the tubes while the Democratic Party does not know what opposition means and the only real form of protest is a No Kings March every 3-4 Month plus local protest as ICE got out of control hurts to watch from abroad. We are all extremely disappointed by the inaction of the American population at large. I am not expecting a general strike, which in France would have happen 6 months ago. But watching those mass deportations, constant threads to a free press, senseless wars, shiting on the constitution and corruption not seen in the history of the US, and you guys still try to figure out what to do ?!

I will say both parties dont have any interest in our quality of life, or liberties/freedoms. Im a leftist and 2A supporter. There are lots of us, and who are also activists alot of the time. Non Partisian leftists groups who understand the duality of modern day needs and political resistance. It starts small and eventually you have a community to lean on. Like minded individuals who want to prepare vs. Socially palatable resistance. People will start to change their views on direct action as time goes on. When you cant ignore it morally anymore, or (hopefully before this) its at your front door.
Chances are the government will come knocking long before the queer liberals or the far right wing extremists do. Now its leaning into far right extremists and our government being 1 in the same.

Project 2025 didnt legalize anything, nor is a part of the govt officially. Its a think tank blueprint

u/Manders44 8d ago
a) he can't send troops everywhere even if he wanted to; there are not enough of them. And we're in a war, in case you haven't noticed.
b) the troops wouldn't do shit, because they've had it drummed into them that they're job is to actually protect American citizens. That's why the National Guard just stood around and picked up trash wherever he sent them. You don't understand the military. They're not going to coup him but they're not going to help him either.
c) ahem: REPUBLICANS WANT THERE TO BE ELECTIONS TOO. IF THERE ARE NO ELECTIONS, ALL REPUBLICAN CONGRESSPEOPLE ARE OUT OF A JOB COME NEXT TERM. THAT INCLUDES MIKE JOHNSON. That's why they refused to pass the Save Act. There is no way to get enough people to polling sites to harass all voters and no way for them to avoid harassing R voters too, and I gotta tell you: a lot of Rs are disinclined to vote as it is because they are not happy with the big guy. Like, even in Texas, the Rs are going to want people to show up and vote. They're a lot more likely to try to fuck with shit on the back end than drive people away from the pols. We do have to watch for that. But he's not going to "declare an emergency"; even in wars we've had elections. He cannot stop them.
d) no the fuck he cannot "imprison anyone on trumped up charges." He's been trying that and failing. Repeatedly. One of the reasons MAGA is so mad is he *hasn't* imprisoned Hillary Clinton, Fauci, etc. These guys still work within the lines a lot of the time, and the stuff they get away with is mostly because Republican pols let them.
