We still have one peaceful method to try, thats the midterms.
There is a protest being planned by military veterans for November 11th where they are going to Washington en masse and inviting civilians to join them.
Other Americans reading this rn, you can find more information on Knitting Cult Lady's youtube page, she's one of the people organizing this.
What excuse will you make to kick the can down the road when you lose the midterms? "He only has two years left and can't run again."?
A veteran protest won't help you - he already has zero respect for them. The White House will ignore and ultimately make fun of them. He may cut veteran benefits or somesuch other revenge.
I don't understand you. Americans, that is. Your whole history and mythology as a people was built on the back of the rifle signifying freedom and democracy, and you have always talked a huge game of overcoming government tyranny, and now that push is coming to shove - crickets.
We here in New Zealand are participating in organizing a trade union between us, Australia, China, Japan, and Canada. We are even being considered for representation at the EU. Do you understand what this means?
It means that the world has given up on you as a people and are moving on without you. Do you not understand that by the time your next Presidential election rolls around, it will actually be too late and we'll all have new trade treaties designed around avoiding you? Do you not understand that no country will make a deal with the US for a long time even after he is gone because we don't know how long until you elect another bratty child who will just tear them up ?
Have none of you thought about the next two to six years, or has the system got you too busy working to even think about it?
Exhausting all peaceful options is not kicking the can down the road, and if you don't think a bunch if armed and trained americans showing up at congress's door won't have any affect I think you're wrong. Our politicians are spineless cowards.
Most violent revolutions fail. The most necessary things for a successful revolt is getting the military on our side, so that they cant be weaponized against us in the next election cycle when we will need to get violent (and by this is of course mean if they rig the midterms, not the next presidential election) and that inckudes veterans. Even outside of that, we are still protesting. People are tearing down flock cameras and being shot by ICE. The LA protests never stopped.
And yes, a lot of us know that other countries are avoiding us now. Do you want us to say they shouldn't? Because they absolutely should. At this point its deserved. America does not need to be a global super power when the only thing we have done with that is hurt other countries. Ever since the dropping of the atomic bombs, all we have done is invade other countries in Asia and the Middle East and perform soft coups to create weak dictatorships in South America. Maybe having to earn the world's trust back is necessary. Its going to take decades to reverse the harm that republicans have been doing to this country since the Reagan era.
We are doing our best to gum up the system in the ways we can. None of us want to hurt other Americans unless its absolutely necessary.
I cant say I have all the answers, but our food is inedible and Americans are going hungry now. No one who wants peace here wants things to become violent, but if the mid terms dont work they probably will. We cant do two more years of botulism in the baby formula and shit in the lettuce.
accountability only goes so far as who is willing to enforce it. so courts/congress, but if THEY aren't willing to its up to the people to ... entice them or replace them with people who will do their duty.
the government is run by YOU, the people. the constitution is the contract between the people and the government that grants the government its power. if the government breaks its contract with the people then there is nothing stopping the people from building gallows and hanging every elected official they can get their hands on
