09.02.2025 23:26 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Right, you can do other things, but real general strikes take more organizing than people are doing right now. What people are doing is reacting, and that's not how a general strike comes to be.

We've been taking action against Trump since his first campaign began and we've been taking action against the rising tide of fascism since long before any Libs acknowledged it.

I don't vote so you must think I'm a secret fascist too right? Count up the electoral points any of those people won and add it to Harris, would she have won?

And then, in four years, he'll be defeated by a Republican Party even more openly white nationalist. If you nominate an Obama redux, you'll just get a worse Trump redux

Did you ever leave a 20mi radius around your insulated liberal safehaven?
You spent a year 'fighting' Nazis since Trump's first inauguration? And you have the audacity to say the left wasnt responding to him and his goons?!
I've had guns brandished at me.
I've had friends get jumped by squads of 3%ers.
I've trained and organized in the streets.
You're a spineless coward.

Well thatβs why every department had an inspector general to find and stop it.
But guess what? Trump fired most of these independent auditors who should be insulated from politics.
None of this is about waste and fraud.
