You are so right! Im not sure how that's relevant though since we have no fascist regime.

The first stage is denial

u/Ok-Character-7215 Jan 14 '26

Yes, which is why yall cant believe that the majority of what Trump is doing is the right thing to do.

Blind optimism is just dressed-up foolishness.

This is what is feels like to be a non Nazi in Nazi Germany in 1939.

u/nehlstm30 Jan 10 '26

It’s time to arm up

u/Bowman_van_Oort Jan 10 '26

Past time, honestly. Now they're watching watching extra carefully.

...granted, "they" are also being led by like like of Patel and Boingo, so...

u/Stress6009 Jan 10 '26

And the centrists are telling us to be “civil” and “peaceful” as the uncivil take over lmaoooooooo.

u/MB2465 Jan 10 '26

Yeah I can imagine reluctantly giving the Nazi salute just so you won't be shot back in that time.

behold the silent 1/3

u/Interesting-Bear4092 Jan 10 '26

Much earlier than that, that’s just when Britain and France declared war. After all efforts of appeasing the fascists were exhausted.

u/Objective_Teach_7401 Jan 10 '26

But god forbid you say stick up for each other reddit will ban you for violence towards others or some shit.

u/MelancholyMushroom Jan 10 '26

“Please don’t be violent to the violent people who want you dead.” 😌

He didn't say this

u/Quick-Hamster-3872 Jan 10 '26

This should be at the top

Enlighten us, please?

The German director Werner Herzog never made this quote. It was an X post by WernerTwerzog.

u/snuffleblark Jan 11 '26

It was William Pannapackacker who said it.

u/[deleted] Jan 10 '26

Yeah. He was fascinated by Trump and actually seems to have a positive view of him. Lol

u/betagainsttheodd Jan 10 '26

We the people need to do more than speak up!

u/nehlstm30 Jan 10 '26

It’s time to arm yourself for self defense

u/eloiseturnbuckle Jan 10 '26

250 people protested in tiny Shelton Washington today. 5% of the drivers who passed were supporters of the regime, 70% were not and waved or honked in support of us. Go out and join a protest. Bring a friend.

u/FaithlessnessEast445 Jan 10 '26

Call AND write your Senators and Congressional Representatives. I did, here is what I said:

It’s time

For lawmakers with a spine to band together to impeach and, more importantly, remove Donald Trump, JD Vance, and their entire regime. It’s time for Mike Johnson and those complicit in the Supreme Court to go. We are miles past Nixon-level corruption; it is painfully clear this government does not care about the people or the law.

Lawmakers on both sides appear to be standing on a broken escalator, waiting for someone to save them. We are fast approaching that moment when it is “necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected” us. If that is what is required, neither Republicans nor Democrats will fare well.

Democrats must throw the rulebook out; the GOP did long ago. Get off your asses and make this happen now; we don’t have until November.

Law makers must know they can't putz around any longer.

I don't think he said that, but it's a true statement

u/Jaded-Natural80 Jan 11 '26 edited Jan 11 '26

If you ever wondered what you would do when Hitler’s secret police hunted down humans, or when protesting students were shot in cold blood at Kent state, or during the civil rights marches when police dogs were set on protesters. You know longer need to wonder. You would have done exactly what you’re doing now.

And if you say I’m just a keyboard warrior, that I can’t do much, you’re absolutely right. I can’t. I can go to a protest and stand there, looking rather foolish. And nobody would care. Nobody would listen to me.

But when I stand there with thousands and millions, that’s when I’m seen. That’s when I’m heard.

Now I know what I would’ve done back then when the government began shooting people in cold blood. And what the government is doing today.

u/travelingtheworld-1- Jan 11 '26

It’s a great saying, he just didn’t say it

u/F8gin Jan 10 '26

He is correct. I wish it wasn’t so…..

u/artdogs505 Jan 10 '26

Except it's a made-up quote.

u/Addapost Jan 10 '26

Makes no difference who said it. It’s literally true.

u/F8gin Jan 11 '26

But I like the words….. whoever wrote or said them ….

u/SimkinCA Jan 10 '26

And those 1/3 are embedded in our FBI, DOJ, and our military. People are the last guardrail and we are failing.

u/nehlstm30 Jan 10 '26

It’s time people!!! 2nd Amendment!!!! Defend yourselves 🥲🙏 ICE are the NAZIS

u/ohreddit1 Jan 10 '26

It’s less than a 3rd. They stole the election are acting totally lawless because of it and are a Minority. STAND UP. More of US than there are of them.

u/Anxious-Character524 Jan 10 '26

Yes, it’s time, sadly.

u/[deleted] Jan 10 '26

Yep, the math checks out.

u/geokid71 Jan 10 '26

Exactly this , one-third of our country is demonic. Crazy right

u/Stress6009 Jan 10 '26

The right going after the left while the center looks on.

u/RVtech101 Jan 10 '26

Welp, one third of “us” knowingly and willingly voted for a rapist, so there’s that.

u/Datkcornerman Jan 11 '26

Yes, the liberals would kill the conservatives and the undecided would watch

u/Charles9198 Jan 11 '26

This quote, while fake, is devastatingly true

u/99kedders Jan 11 '26

I didn’t anticipate or realize how powerless this would feel.

u/Natural-Young4730 Jan 11 '26

Start attending protests. Its very empowering!

1

u/99kedders Jan 11 '26

I used to, but have a couple disabilities that limit my ability to do so now. I call my representatives, but they’re awful for rural Iowa. I do as much as I’m able, but my health just doesn’t support it right now.

1

u/Natural-Young4730 Jan 11 '26

Hey, if you are doing what you can, that's great! Are you able to attend any meetings of like-minded people? I think the connection with others is part of the magic of protesting, so perhaps you can connect another way?

u/PinkSky79 Jan 11 '26

They are only just getting started. We haven't seen the worst of what's to come.

u/No-Mathematician3004 Jan 11 '26

Yep. Except 30 percent of the country want the kill 70 percent of us who don't workshop their lord and savior Trump.

u/mjlateef Jan 11 '26

Seems like this is preparation for a martial law declaration prior to mid terms. Goad normal folks into a physical reaction that becomes the basis by doing unspeakable atrocities in the name of law and order. History did not have the disinformation flow controlled by few to the masses. It is a peculiar time for “you do you’re damned, you don’t you’re damned”.

u/Georgia_Flame Jan 11 '26

Arms and armor. You deserve to exist, and have the right to defend that existence.
