EDITOR’S NOTE- This story has been updated with more accurate information released from the Smithsonian. WASHINGTON (DC News Now) — Some artifacts and exhibits are being removed from the National Museum of African American History and Culture. It comes a month after President Trump’s executive order to remove what he calls “improper ideology” from Smithsonian […]
What the hell are we supposed to do? It’s a BIG goddamn country, and most of us are barely making it from week to week. None of us want to lose our housing, our jobs, or our lives, on the chance that we might remove 47 from power. And if we manage to do so, who the hell is gonna take his place? JD Vance? Some other fascist? Who’s honestly going to step up and lead this country into prosperity again?
Yes what just go into fascism because it’s hard to resist.

LOL murikkkans love to talk the big talk about tyranny but when fascism is right in their face it’s nothing but excuses.
🤡
That is a great example of propaganda.
It reads like a normal comment, but it’s literally intended to suppress any attempts at resistance by pretending there’s nothing that can be done.
Your position is absolutely understandable. What you and your fellow citizens can do are
The government wants you as apathetic as possible. Don’t let them be right
#1 and #3 accomplish nothing.
I don’t think that’s true. There’s big power in what people demonstrably believe.
Knowing that everyone else is fighting back too is emboldening.
25 years ago, maybe.
Now, seeing protest after protest while the Trump administration does whatever it wants EVEN HARDER is like watching the opposing team in Air Bud wring their hands about the rulebook while a fucking golden retriever dunks on them over and over.
Peaceful protests are feeding demoralization and making things worse, not better.
Do you think sitting on your arse claiming there’s nothing to be done is more or less demoralising than singing in the streets with like minded people?
Maybe you work different than most humans, but I think the answer to that is pretty obvious for the rest of us.
The protests are not hard enough for them to care. Fuck, half of the population supports them.
Let’s call them what they are- parades.
Fuck OFF. You know exactly what to do- it’s what your countrymen did, more than once, when they accomplished the things all of you have spent a couple centuries loudly taking credit for.
Do you think there weren’t colonists who were worried that rebellion would cost them their livelihoods? Do you think your grandparents fought the Nazis risk-free? You aren’t special. Your shitty job that you hate isn’t special. Everyone who ever stood up for anything consequential had plenty to lose.
For as long as I live, I never want to hear another American pretend to be courageous. But, sure, whatever- wait until your country decides to invade us and hope that we’ll do something where you fucking failed.
You’re supposed to fight the small battles that come your way. You’re supposed to refuse to do the bad thing.
Then you can go on doing nothing until you’re conscripted to invade Canada.
You’re looking down a revolution here; why is your first reflex to name JD Vance? Put whoever you goddamn like in charge that’s the whole point.
This attitude is understandable but it is exactly the attitude that enables faschism. Germany in the 1930s is calling. The existential crisis, the fatalism, The call for a leader to make everything better. The time for change without risks is gone. Stakes gonna get much higher wirh time if the opposition does not move fast. Everybody has to get involved.
