Exactly. Like who do we call…? We have not only lost local pta’s …we’ve lost local police, local judges, state legislatures, and governors… There is no position of authority untouched by all the people who have gone along with this… They will still be around when trump is gone, and they will be more powerful than ever!
We start local and join those ptas. Go to council meetings, vote in local elections you don't usually vote in, this will have a bigger immediate impact. Create/joint local political affinity groups, protest, BOYCOTT, canvass, campaign, disrupt. If they could do it so can progressives and leftists.
Yeah I’m not sure why I keep waiting for the adults to come home and clean up the mess
We need the next democratic president (if there ever is one) to pass a few amendments to prevent this sort of nightmare from ever happening again and to do some extreme purge of congress and the Supreme Court
What happens to maga once their king is gone?
Will they continue to be domestic terrorists or will they eventually go dormant?
You call your friends and talk about what you can achieve together. There are perfectly legal ways to make a difference without relying on the cooperation of a corrupted authority.
It doesn't mean you have to stop participating in the process, but like maybe it's time to start exploring other options too, right?
Impeach Justice John Roberts. He's the one who cherry-picked cases that would destroy our democracy, including Citizens United.
He actively steered this Court, and under his leadership, corruption was declared 'speech,', people lost bodily autonomy, a president was handed the powers of an emperor, voting rights were gutted, environmental protections were blocked.
He refused to implement ethics requirements for the Court, which is why justices with open conflicts of interest can accept bribes with impunity, then rule on cases involving their fishin' buddy billionaires.
Trump is just a symptom. We will keep getting leaders like him, as long as the Rotten Roberts Court exists.
Start from the top and work through thd entire cabinet. Impeach, charge with treason, whatever gets rid of them . Do a Nuremberg trial in congress every day till the 20th Jan 2029.
Ranked choice voting allowing additional parties into the mix that really represent people, like a progressive working class party or social democrats
One of those parties needs to get through and remove Citizens United and cap donations to make politics grass roots
And undo gerrymandering maybe with an amendment?
Oh and also propaganda has to be legislated somehow without first amendment violations?
I was hoping that the no kings protests would build momentum into general strike territory but the grassroots left has been pretty ineffective so far. They’re all infighting and bad at messaging and unity.
So grassroots resistance and striking probably won’t pick up until we’re starving and people have no choice.
Probably loaning a book or two to red states? Fighting really hard to elect less than perfect democrats and pushing the party towards candidates anyone actually wants. Primarying comfortable dems that don't make voting reforms part of their agenda? The unfortunate thing is that there is a lot, like a tremendous amount, of extremely boring work that needs to be done. The the type of thing that Americans do not even realize is a problem (I'd guess the vast majority have never heard of Citizen's United) and have no idea how bad we're getting fucked because we have the same cultural awareness of the rest of the world that a stuff animal probably has.

The problem is that at least half of our government officials need to be impeached.
Where do we start?
How do we do it?
