      My favourite thing about this is that … he’ll be remembered forever for shit like this (no pun intended).

      Think about it … JFK had famous speeches and lines like ‘We choose to go to the moon’ … Eisenhower is thought of to his line ‘the Military Industrial complex’ … Roosevelt for his ‘Day of infamy’ speech … even Reagan is remembered for his ‘Tear down this wall’ speech

      Trump? … he’ll be remembered as a senile old buffoon who shared childish videos to make fun of the citizens he was supposed to govern.

      … and it isn’t just representative of Trump … no matter how the country feels about it … his stupidity reflects on the entire nation.

        he’ll be remembered

        That’s what he wants. To have more money than other people, and to be remembered.

        In a way, that’s one nice thing about how he’s destroying America. America will be weakened so much that maybe soon some other country or some new country will rule this land, and the United States will be relegated to history books. And then, Trump will only be remembered by very specialized historians.

          In China they have these statues of a corrupt official and his wife that killed a loyal general like 1000 years ago. People spit on those statues to show they haven’t forgotten the betrayal. Maybe Americans can take a cue from that and always “remember” Trump in that way when he’s gone.

            Hear me out; we take all the statues of Confederate losers and whatever gaudy atrocious bullshit cheeto comes up with, set them all up in a swamp with catwalks placed close enough that people can spit, piss, and if so motivated and properly prepared, projectile vomit/shit on their memories.

          He doesn’t care about being remembered per se, just getting his ego stroked now. And all his shitty juvenile impulses fulfilled.

          some other country

          Yeah, because anyone who’s attempting to control this country is doing such a great job in their own that it’s something we should look forward to.

          How do you think all this shit got started? Trump didn’t really have the friends or influence domestically.

        This. I don’t think about what Trump will be remembered for as much as what mark will he leave on America. His orange face will forever be included in the lists of US presidents reminding everyone how stupid this country has become. The monuments he’s building and reforming will stay in Washington for centuries. The broken alliances, dismantled institutions, discarded laws… The US will never be the same after Trump and it will be his real legacy.

        JFK had famous speeches

        “Ich bin ein Berliner”

        Not trying to disprove your point though, being remembered for that is still dimensions better than that video.

    “The president uses social media to make a point,” Johnson told reporters Monday. “He believes that he is a king and that any protest against him or his appointed officials is treason. In essence, he is a fucking traitor who never should have gotten elected the first time, let alone the second, and I and my colleagues are going to work to impeach him and remove him from office, just as soon as we take our tongues out of his asshole.”

    – Mike Johnson, if he was slightly less of a toady piece of shit traitor.

    They also don’t care he just took a wrecking ball to part of the White House. They don’t care that he has crashed the economy or broken the government. They are coward sycophants.

      I think the demolition of the White House is particularly poetic. It also shows us what our federal government is willing to let the regime do without input from the commonwealth.

      The No Kings numbers was a warning, a bellwether. Let’s see if they’re able to pick up on what it means.

        No kings needs to triple in attendance before people take it seriously. I don’t mean that as in insult. And even then it techniqally doesn’t do anything directly. If people were serious about all this they would be boycotting American products and entertainment. That probably the realest thing that can be done without bloodshed. no more streaming, no more eating out, no more brand name clothes… Our money is bloody and it funds Americas nightmare… WE are funding all this. It is US participating. This is something people deny and until people stop denying their part nothing will ever change. Its surreal and takes effort to admit.

          That probably the realest thing that can be done without bloodshed.

          The most effective non-violent action we can take is to organize a General Strike.

          The country would be brought to its knees if suddenly deprived of profit and labor. That tactic was extremely effective in Chile in 2019, and had they not fallen for the trick of liberal reform, they would’ve had a successful revolution on their hands with virtually no bloodshed.

          If you aren’t in a union (or even if you are, it’s worth dual-carding), please consider joining the IWW to unionize your workplace (bonus: you’ll get higher wages, better benefits, and more time off if you succeed!) to strengthen a general strike if we manage to enact one.

          And for our international friends, you should join one as well, as fascism is gaining momentum globally. If your country isn’t listed below, just contact the IWW directly in the link above.

            Helen Cox Richardson advises general strikes cause division among the organized groups striking (possibly in what terms as appropriate to relent), that targeted boycotts seem to prove more effective in the United States.

            I can’t be sure, having never seen general strikes manifest or boycotts that lasted. Boycotts also rule out those of us who live in poverty who can’t afford to have opinions. Or as Marge Simpson put it We can’t afford to shop at any store that has a philosophy. We just need a TV.

            So boycotts are revolution by the petite bourgeoisie, rather than by the third estate, which is why France still contends with capitalism and authoritarian drift.

            I, personally, don’t know the right answer, or the most effective strategy against the current regime. I’d argue both are good methods, but maybe we should look for third and fourth fronts of attack.

              For a General Strike to work, there does need to be a somewhat unified vision of what the strike is against. That means getting workers educated about the situation as much as possible.

              A boycott can sometimes work against individual corporations, but a boycott to make the government listen would require sustained participation from a massive section of the population, which seems unlikely to say the least. In contrast, a general strike only needs workers in critical unionized industries to join in to cause a virtual halt of economic activity (dock workers, train workers, truckers, etc). This lowers the numbers needed to be effective by an order of magnitude, and is thus much more feasible. History has shown it to be the most effective non-violent tool we have for over 100 years, and so far nothing else has come close.

              Prefiguration could be considered a 3rd method. Building the alternative systems we want to see and use in the world to lower our dependence on the current system facilitates the ability to enact general strikes, boycotts, and reduces the leverage they have over us to not enact resistance.

              A fourth method would be perhaps more extreme, like collectively destroying all of the world’s databases that contain financial debt records, Fightclub/Mr.Robot style. But that would require extreme coordination between established capable groups, and currently is not a feasible option.
