    As long as the DOJ is controlled by Trump they won't charge him over anything no matter how blatantly he is rigging the election in his favor and how obvious it is that he should have lost.

    Remember when Bill Clinton met Loretta Lynch on a tarmac and the Republicans completely lost their shit?

    A former president being seen speaking with the current Attorney General, and it was a massive fucking deal. Because they made it a massive deal, and Democrats allowed them to make it into a massive deal.

    Don't ever let Republicans claim to care about this kind of shit.

    It's cute that you think you can stop Republicans from lying, or that they give a shit about hypocrisy.

    They don't. That's why they're winning.

    I'm saying that people need to stop giving them the benefit of the doubt. Especially Democrats who allow them to pull this shit over and over again.

    Edit: the media as well. Constantly sane-washing

    I had to look it up to see what Trump/DHS's unconstitutional argument will be to ignore this. The "..." omitted sections show pretty clearly what they will say:

    Whoever, being an officer of the Army or Navy, or other person in the civil, military, or naval service of the United States, orders, brings, keeps, or has under his authority or control any troops or armed men at any place where a general or special election is held, unless such force be necessary to repel armed enemies of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both; and be disqualified from holding any office of honor, profit, or trust under the United States. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/592

    "...is held, unless such force is necessary to repel armed enemies of the United States, shall be fined..."

    So their first-year-law-school failing DOJ leads will argue that they need ICE there to stop voter fraud, which force is necessary to "repel armed enemies of the United States" since hypothetically the rampant fraudsters could be armed.

    Either Trump will just do it without any lawsuit-ripening warning, or if his demented brain reveals his plans early and a suit is filed in time, the Supreme Court will hear the emergency appeal of the inevitable district and appellate findings that it is unconstitutional, and issue a shadow docket ruling that overturns the (ruling upholding the) Constitution without comment or reasoning.

    This was the entire point. Nullify the DOJ to create immunity, and disregard the law themselves. Then twist it and weaponize it towards the people opposing them.

    This is where we’re at. Remember when we were screaming about project 2025 and everyone was trying to tell us to calm down, saying “They’d never be able to do that?”

    Well, they did it.

    Fascists don’t seize power all at once. They test, backtrack and go two steps forward. They utilize the boiling frog effect.

    I don't know why after a decade of Trump people think "ummm akshually that's illegal" means anything.

    They're breaking the law. Openly. THEY ARE DABBING ON YOU.

    The question isn't if they can legally - they cannot. Nor if they can - they are. It's what are you going to do to stop them?

    Literally everything that is spy work, subterfuge, being an opposing army, etc is community organizing of some kind. You have to find the community within that wants to take the risks to do these things.

    So, to answer your question, 100% community organizing stopped the Nazis.

    Considering the USSR by and large killed more Nazis than anybody, I'd say a shitload of community organizing stopped them.

    Show up alone, you get arrested. Show up with 100 people, you get shot. Show up with 100,000 people, now we have a movement. Will your neighbors show up with you? Or will you face the Nazis alone?

    I’m all ears. Where do we start? Who’s organizing a nationwide operation? What time and place? What’s the plan?

    Are we prepared to be beaten, imprisoned and killed?

    Should I attempt to be a one-man operation?

    Will there be snacks and drinks?

    Who’s in on this, anyone? We need at least about 5-10 million of us to stand a chance. Are we going to occupy Washington and be prepared to deal with armed struggle? It would be “fun” to Zerg the White House and burn it to the ground. A lot of us will probably get mowed down in the process.

    I've called it a while back. Make a database of people's political affiliation using social media posts and other sources. Have agents sit outside polling places with facial recognition technology that flags anyone on that database that is likely to vote Democrat and detain a number of them until the polling ends then release them without charge. This prevents them from voting and can have a significant impact on the outcome of the elections.

    On top of that they're going to have mail in ballots thrown out, further interfering with free and fair elections.

    This is coming. Trump knows he will have his ass absolutely handed to him in the mid terms given his well-deserved abysmal approval rating. Better fight back now.

    And if the US ever manages to recover from this blatant establishment of a dictatorship, every single one of those who participated at this should be charged at the fullest extent of the law. There is no claiming ignorance of what they're doing. Even floating the idea of sending ICE to arrest people at polling places is a violation. They know damn well that they're rigging the election.

    They know it, and they know that we know it. They don't care. That's what people aren't seeing straight enough. Trump and the Guardians Of Pedophiles ate blatantly trying to cheat amd telling people how much they're going to cheat. Now, show me one, single US citizen that's done anything concrete to actually stop him. I'll wait. Instead, there will be more protests. Then he'll call the protesters unpatriotic traitors and MAGAts will eat it up. They'll not only cheer for him as he sacrifices our democratic elections, they'll say it was the right thing to do to "save America" from people smarter than them. Which is everyone too intelligent to be a MAGAt.

    there will be more protests

    Where people stay in their designated protest areas during the designated protest times in order to not be too much of a bother. Need to make sure they're back to work on time Monday morning for the oligarchs! Oh, and clean up after yourselves before you leave too to make it as easy as possible for everyone to pretend to never happened...

    I learned something interesting about the upcoming Brazilian elections the other day that seems intended to counter exactly this kind of thing: there's a law (and perhaps it's in the constitution, I don't recall exactly) that says that no one shall be arrested for a couple of days around the election date, unless someone is caught in the act of a crime or if it's for a major crime.

    Administration continues to plan treason and nobody stops them.

    If the president says he's going to interfere in the election, he should be immediately impeached and removed from office as soon as possible! Instead everybody says he's just joking and my therapist thinks I shouldn't worry until I know for sure something bad is going to happen

    Maybe citizens who got citizenship because they were born in US but they parents were migrants. Maybe they want to take their passports and deport with others (like germans did with german jews before WWII, they basically canceled their citizenships)

    Elections are run by states in the constitution. Any federal agents violating that are traitors, and should be treated as such. We are stronger if we just organize.

    That said, considering that most liberals think smashing windows makes police murder OK, I do think they're not insane for thinking plenty will roll over and spread. They mean it - and outside the commies, too many Americans who supposedly oppose the GOP fascism don't.

    Hate to tell you this, but I'm pretty sure Jeff Bezos isn't for taxing the rich. Hasan Piker is a millionaire, so he doesn't want that either. He's gotta give that some lip service to keep his audience, but his primary goal is to promote racial tensions. This is how the wealthy have been keeping people divided for a very long time, so you're unable to make a unified effort to tax the wealthy, and do trust busting. I doubt Hasan ever even mentions trust busting, that's simply not in the public discourse at all. Because wealthy people like Jeff Bezos have control over what people are seeing and are able to keep certain things from entering into people's minds.

    Hasan is in the wealthy class, and his job is to keep you from thinking about things Jeff Bezos doesn't want you to think about. The fact is Biden was doing antitrust actions against Amazon and others, then suddenly monetized leftism turned against Democrats. Whether that's a coincidence isn't all that relevant. The nature of algorithmic information consumption is you're fed what's in the interests of the wealthy regardless of the intent of the content creator. If a leftist is saying Democrats are bad because of Israel stuff, while the wealthy think Democrats are bad because of antitrust and higher taxes, they don't care about the reason why you turn against Democrats, only that you stay home instead of voting for a party that's against their interests.

    The SS was an elitist regime special force with many educated people (enabling them to be even more monstrous). The SA was the regime mob, with your typical gangsters. The SA was first and got too power hungry, didn't end well for them.

    I don't see an SS eqivalent in the US so far, maybe if the tech fascists created a private army murdering for the regime?
