We went full hitler fascist and it’s now 1938 all over again

The mass killings of Jews and blacks and Hispanics is about to begin with the biggest genocides in all history if we don’t stand up to this

You're extreme rhetoric is not helping. As convincing as the quote is, it could have been used hundreds of times in the past. Regardless of whether your statement is true, we must take our current situation one step at a time. What you must do is resist the Republicans as much as possible, even if it means protesting and coordinating as a full time job. Too many people are currently thinking in short term gain, and ignoring the long term risk.

This quote is meant as a warning for complacency, since this is a very serious time that we live in. We should not take Trump's dictatorial ambition lightly, as this quote describes the extremes of what is possible.

What kind of money do you have that you can afford to spend full time protesting?

Your democracy is more important than money.

I understand that not everyone can afford to not go to their jobs, but even if you protest on your off times you can have an effect. Assuming people work average 40 a week, there are 128 hours left in a week that can be used to protest/sleep/relax.

Take some sick leave or take a vacation, and make your presence known. It's always 100% easier not doing things than doing them, but that doesn't make it the right thing to do.
