Except for the fact that suppressed populations can & do rise up.
It's just a matter of how long it takes
There are many examples in history of people rebelling against tyranny - American Revolution, Arab Spring, Treblinka Uprising, etc all with diff levels of suppression & diff levels of response

I think what scares people from striking is caring for their families &/or becoming homeless. Living paycheck to paycheck tends to frighten people from taking risks even if the payoff benefits them

And facing a 10 fold violent response could cost millions their lives (1930 - 40's Germany)

Bullshit
Most people know that any violence on the part of the American people is going to answered with a 10 fold response from ICE & this gov
The best "fighting back" we can do is get out the info of what is happening AND plan more protests & a #NationaStrike

JFC what is happening to my country?!?!

Come on California lets show our hungry people how much we care!

Great so now election coverage can be "I hate POC, women, the poor etc" WITH CTG?

So I guess @govpritzker.illinois.gov is just all tough talk no backbone?
If he didn't call them out or he doesn't call them off then he's just as bad as the people we're protesting against

I'm telling you - white men are literally blind to anything other white men do

Look at the history of the US - it is basically white men making excuses for the shit other white men do so they can continue to do that shit & other shit

It's insane that women & POC have to keep pointing it out

Damn we were neighbors! (Though I had moved to my 6th US state by the time you moved to NY)
I grew up in Pine Bush!
I miss it, especially the food! No place in the US makes Szechuan or egg rolls like NY!!

I grew up in the Shawangunk Mountains!! Then moved to NYC!
My dad was a contractor so there were MANY stories
In the 90's the stories started to include payoffs for kids, Russian money, & a LOT of $ going to elected officials to keep him out of jail

I grew up in NY - WE knew this about him long before he stepped into politics

Too bad no one listened when we tried to tell the country

That may not be true
Yes it'll be more difficult with a large country but it's possible
The India Salt March started with 70 people & grew to MILLIONS
The French also started small & grew to an unmanageable size for the gov

The question for America will be - will you sacrifice to save the country?

MANY of us have been saying this for YEARS
We KNOW he plans on killing Americans
We KNOW he will target groups he despises (poor, POC, immigrants, women, the disabled, LGBTQ+)

We WARNED about this over and over and over

Maybe stop focusing so damn much on men having to be masculine and encourage them to be HUMAN BEINGS

This bullshit of provider, protector, procreator does nothing but find new snappy boxes to shove males into so that they either pass or fail on YOUR idea of what a man should be

Every time there is a post like this people fill up the replies with memes or comments about how often it happens
I wish instead people would realize the lives these monsters have ruined
Children who have been molested suffer with lifelong issues, many, like Virginia Guiffre, end their own lives

Plan a fucking #NationalStrike
If 3.5% of American workers strike then the US economy will come to a standstill. It will piss off the rich & they can't arrest that many people
Historically & statistically it is the BEST most effective non-violent option
It works. Look at France

He's building the story of him being a victim so that when he cheats on her with a "christian" MAGA pukes will line up to defend him

I'd honestly rather have 9000 paper cuts and go swimming with sharks

You give me hope

What a vile pig

When I was in school we held mock SCOTUS trials, we ran campaigns as if we were running for the Senate, we learned how the gov works FOR us

They stopped teaching civics in the 80's & 90's

Now everyone thinks they know their "rights" as a citizen but knows nothing about their responsibilities

Here is where he starts to be a "victim"
Watch - he will whine about his wife not being a "christian", then he will pretend he's not "happy" bc god's not "happy" he isn't married to a christian.
The the next thing you know he's cheating on his wife with a "christian
He's already picked someone out

The real shame is that sometimes pain/suffering doesn't break it
There are some people who would rather die then be wrong

Here's the thing - if we keep electing white men then this shit will NEVER change bc they are the worst at confronting/changing their own failures
White me DO NOT like to hold other white men accountable so women, POC, & everyone else NOT THEM suffers over and over

If that is the results you want then you better elect a whole lot of women, WOC, & POC bc you won't see this kind of JUSTICE with majority of white men REGARDLESS of party

Take a look at US history-white men do not like to hold other white men accountable

I really do not understand these women who promote the false idea that white men in power have ever been anything other than greedy, racist, misogynistic asshats

Pick up a fucking history book - the US sucks bc of white men treating everyone else like a fucking commodity to benefit them

Oh so your just looking for an argument bc I don't agree with you

I have no time for people like you; we have a country to save and like most things - it can only be accomplished by smart fearless women

(This is the part where you go sit down)

The premiums & loss of SNAP are going to impact red states the most bc their state govs DGAF about the poor

The best chance for a non-violent resolution to the fascist in the WH is for their followers to turn on them

It is horrible but pissing off violent people has repercussions (as we saw J6)

It sucks but have a spine
The discharge petition will not make the Epstein files appear
The DOJ & R's are going to fight to block/redact it
Calling the massive premium increase "Trump Care" will never catch on (bc MAGA is stupid)

The people who voted for this admin are about to FEEL the results
