She’s not going to do shit. This is just asking for a payoff, and she’ll get it. She’s not releasing anything.

Not by anyone else’s doing other than his own

Who are you talking to? You’re making a fictional strawman then arguing against them. I agree with you mostly. Trump will never face a day of justice, and he’s not leaving office alive.

I typed this whole other response but lemmy didn’t save it for some reason…

It’s because The Handmaid’s Tale puts it all into an American context, which makes Americans more receptive to the potential future.

uh… did you reply to the wrong comment? You seem to be lost.

The Minneapolis response really gives me hope. However the hard part will be the national coordination step. We’ll have a few dozen pockets of organized resistance, but this regime will be working overtime to arrest and remove any attempts at national organization.

Yep exactly. No one should be calling for any kind of offensive violence. There are many levers of power to try before that point.

uh, did you read my comment even…

Fuck I did completely forget that. We’re definitely in the “Factors Leading Up To” part of the wikipedia entry now.

You realize the regime isn’t giving up power right? We’re not simply going to vote our way out of this. Everyone absolutely needs to vote first, as a bare minimum requirement, but it’s not going to remove them. It’s gonna get real ugly pretty soon, like November, and then January.

I really hope I’m being over dramatic, but they’re saying this shit themselves. They’re telling us they have secret plans to hold on to power.

Do you mean authoritarianism or fascism specifically? I mean look at Orban’s Hungary for a mostly non-violent way out.

Or… she’s a woman so actually has to face consequences.

When the regime coups the midterms, I hope everyone is prepared and willing to accordingly respond.

Here’s a good starting point

They’re going to have to get a lot of practice for what they’re intending in the future.

He’s not leaving the White House alive. I believe that in my bones. He’s not going to leave power. Nick Offerman played it well.

I think he’s trying to drum up enough public support to be able to nuke Iran. That’s the “we’ll finish it soon no matter what” thing.

He’s a mad king and must be stopped at all costs at this point.
