    I mean, we are? I’m tired of this whole we are doing nothing narrative.

    The media isn’t going to show national news in support of this, however:

    There are groups mobilizing, protests at city halls, capitol buildings. I have seen protestors in small cities, and in the large.

    There is steam picking up, the town halls becoming increasingly more chaotic on both sides.

    You even have the growth of https://socialistra.org/ And other like associations

    You have entire organizations of legal workers trying everything they can to slow down things through legislation. You have the the anti oligarch movement spearheaded by AOC (democrat) and Bernie (independent). Some guard rails are holding and some are failing.







  • I have a pretty damn good idea of what we are up against, and I don’t think violence directly towards the figureheads is going to work. Mainly because of their untouchability

    Lower level officials however will start getting their tickets punched if things keep going south with the economy.

    It’s all connected to money; healthcare, housing, and food. If the economy takes a hard enough hit, which will happen almost certainly now (trades falling apart and tariff threats create a pretty unpredictable market), there will be more and more people pushed to the brink. Just look at the Republican town hall videos, even their base is being riled up.

    There will be violence and a terrible economy in the near future
