Doesn't matter if they showed explicit images of Trump penetrating children. No legal consequences would be done to him anyway. Anyone with the power to resist this administration has already had all the pretext they need to do so and they have not. So either no one has that power, or they're too gutless to use it. We are fucked.

    But quite obviously, MAGA has lost almost all of their power.

    That's a wild statement to make. Everything they set in motion is still going strong. Nothing has gotten better. People are still being abducted off the streets, women are still being persecuted for exercising their reproductive rights, prices are still skyrocketing, all of our allies and trade partners are still cutting us out. A bunch of his shortsighted dumbfuck supporters might be temporarily pissed off but by the time the next election rolls around they'll fall back in line. They're not going to stop hating immigrants, women, and trans people just because more evidence that their dickhead leader was a pedophile came out. We already knew that anyway.

    There's the real possibility of fracturing once Trump either dies or somehow actually sees social consequences from his years of child sex trafficking. I'd say the death is more likely, and maybe it won't be far off.

    The two main factions of MAGA as I see it are the MTG types that are rabid fascist bigots opposed to pedophilia, and the institutional types that are rabid fascist bigoted pedophiles and pedophile supporters. It would be fun to see them destroy each other, sooner rather than later.

    So what are you gonna do about it?

    You. Not by begging some distant daddy. You.

    With your words with your hands with your friends with whatever tools you know how to use?

    What are you going to do?

    I guess I'll keep shit talking on the internet. I'm just one dude and not going to achieve anything by myself. I don't have any tools that would solve this issue.

    Okay. So how do you not be by yourself?

    How do you learn more tools?

    How do you be more than just one dude (cutting yourself in half doesn't work, idk where to get all alien virus)?

    It sounds like you have ideas. It would be way more productive for you to just share them outright, rather than this weird browbeating you're doing.

    Bunch of em! But I don't know you. I don't know who you are. I don't know what would appeal to you. I don't know what you're capable of.

    And I'm not going to dictate specific policy to you, because I would rather mismatch a little than have minions with no diversity of thought or pissy shitlibs arguing with me over minutae.

    Sounds like a great opportunity to make a post in one of the many political communities on Lemmy then, to create some real discussion. Rather than stringing us along in the comment section here.

    Funny how what I have to say is political but what you have to say isn't. Also, the entire second half of what I said.

    We're talking about actions we can take against our political leaders/political system, are we not? Is that somehow not political?

    IDK man, I'm just trying to steer you in a productive direction, because asking a bunch of leading questions in the comment section ain't it. If you don't want to talk about specifics, what are you even here for?

    There's so fucking much that needs to be done; a single person can't consider all of it, but read the second half of what I wrote.

    Yeah I read what you wrote. I responded to it. I'll put it here again just in case you missed it.

    If you don't want to talk about specifics, what are you even here for?

    I would like people to think for themselves and don't want to be in charge or argue with shitlibs.

    Also, as pointed out, this is c/shitposts.

    All the more reason to have your discussion somewhere else, in a place that isn't dedicated to shitposts.
