    I take it seriously and I encourage anyone to know they have the power to make a difference. If you can find who's encouraging people to stay out of the way please let everyone here know so we can fight against those people.

    Also you're right if Trump stays in power longer it will be very grim not just for the people in the US but also for the entire world because look at how Trump is terrorizing other countries. Look at how he's basically a slave to Putin and abandoning Ukraine. Look at how he's grabbing people on the streets. If we don't fight this will get worse.

    Maybe the US won't become fascist. Maybe the democrats will win in a landslide and reform things so that no rogue president can do what Trump did ever again.

    But, even in that unlikely scenario, the trust the world had with the US has already been burned, and isn't coming back easily. It's obvious that other countries might try to avoid doing deals with a corrupt, fascist USA. But, what's less obvious is that thanks to Trump, countries also won't want to do deals with an apologetic, democratic, tolerant, liberal, honest USA. That USA can get voted out of office and replaced with a fascist in just one election cycle, and all the deals mean nothing when that happens.

    i mean, some of us legitimately have next to no power. or have good operational security.

    me, i have 3,000 miles distance between me and krasnov at any given time and putting in a lisa novak style cannonball run would be sure to tip someone or something off. I'm going to leave it to someone closer.

    This is the other problem with Americans. You think the next step after words is going in guns blazing. Your media is full of it, so it's no wonder you're brainwashed into believing it. It's why there are so many mass shootings. Someone disagrees with someone else and reaches for his gun.

    That's not the next step. The next steps are to organize, protest, disrupt, disobey, obstruct. You can do all that from your own city.
