If you think voting will beat these fascists, you need to think harder about how you got here. You do not have an effective opposition, the Democrats are bought and paid for by corporations.

The midterm vote will not be free and fair. And if you wait until that is clear before fighting back, it will be much harder to do so.

I know you can't do much against the power of the state alone. But you have to resist, or flee. Fleeing is fine, btw, there's going to be a lot of refugees.

    People here cannot afford to flee, unfortunately. That is very much by design. On top of that, which countries are taking refugees so far?

    Here is where you american people have forgotten something extremely powerful and potent, that democrats have always had, but the opposition has not:

    Standing together. Solidarity. Unity. Strength through numbers. Unions.

    America is fundementally a very individualistic society, but people with our values know that true power comes from standing together. Build friendships which can evolve into alliances. Organize, even without established party involvement.

    We are many who will help, even outside your borders. We may be across the atlantic, but we sure as hell will argue your case no matter what.

    All the years I've spent on social media, I've argued right along with you against MAGA. I've helped as well as I can. Many Europeans have, and will continue to support you.

    Maybe we just need to be more organized. To create real underground alliances. Help you in any way we can to make actual changes. Shit, I'll gladly write to my representative right now and tell him how I believe our foreign policy should be.

    Yeah, obviously. Everyone knows the billionaires give them bad consultants on purpose to make them gaff and lose votes. That's how the Democrats stop progress to the left.

    And everyone knows the counter strat is to vote for them anyway.
