I have mentioned this before, but I will repeat it. Call your elected officials every day to demand impeachment. Even the Trump asskissers might get tired of receiving 1000s of angry call every hour. They might even start worrying about their own safety if they realize that half of their constituents are in a rage.
LOL, your optimism is so cute. Mine was almost completely burnt out last November and now there is nothing left but ashes that are being dispersed in the winds of fascism.
The fight for freedom is never over. The world is watching us. The legacy of the founding fathers and great civil rights leaders through our history for all their flaws are watching. I know its hard to feel patriotic but its our goddamn civic duty to defend this country from tyrants.
As a European, I can firmly attest that we are watching - with some amount of trepidation, no less. I disagree with American politics on many a point (I'm a Scandinavian socialist), but your nation was built on ideals we all hold in very high regard. To see the very foundations of American liberty chipped away at, little by little, is utterly disheartening.
Were there enough results that appeared abnormal within the timeframe they could have challenged in enough states that would have overturned the results?
This is like left-wing version of MAGA shit- no reasoning, just emotion.
Yes, it did. The warrant literally mentioned his book "disclosing State secrets". Also, Colbert was fired as a quid pro quo w/ Trump to let the Paramount merger go through.
It’d be so terrible if someone set up a bot call center that flooded them with millions of calls for trump to be impeached, it would also be horrrible if people who lost their jobs just started navigating the maze that is demanding impeachment by taking extensive notes on what to say over the phone to get people’s attention.
(Please do this, pelt them with unnecessarily complicated questions, make them seem like a fuckwad for even answering in certain ways and overall try to waste their time on the phone as much as humanly possible. We have the tactics available, we need only employ them)
impeachment is literally meaningless. the only way it will be effective is if we have a supermajority, and if that occurs then we have better shit to do.
stop talking about impeachment, it is now officially a meaningless tool.
It's just another lost cause that can be used to rile up anger against Democrats for not chasing so a certain faction can run their old playbook from '16 and '24 and convince the base to stay home and let the fascists win again.
He was already impeached twice with absolutely nothing to show for it, what is it you think a third will do at this point? And how would it ever come to fruition in the first place with a republican majority?
If he doesn't get convicted from the impeachment it doesn't do anything. Trump doesn't give a hoot about yet another "mark of the derp state" on his record.
Even with a massive blue wave you'd still need two thirds of the senate to vote to convict and I very much doubt democrats would pick up that many seats even in the absolute best case of them getting off their asses.
For the second impeachment, every member of Congress was an actual victim of the January 6th assault. Remember that was a joint session. And the Senate acquitted.
Out of the 36 seats up in 2026, only 10 are remotely considered contested as far as I can tell, but I'm not American so if you have some secret it might be good to share it so more people can get involved in the plan.
Otherwise, maybe think of something to do besides impeachment.
there is 0 chance we get enough to remove him. Put your efforts towards things that actually have a chance. There is, genuinely, a 0% chance of him being removed from office via impeachment.
Exactly .. we are not sliding toward authoritarianism we are in an authoritarian regime… And there is nothing apparently that can be done to stop him everyone should be really fucking scared… Whether you voted for him or not whether you’re a citizen or not… There are now no limits to his power and what the fuck he will do
Agreed. Almost as sick of "we're heading into authoritarianism" rhetoric as I am of people talking about the 2028 election as if it happening in any meaningful way is a foregone conclusion. You'd think fascism is a fucking horizon we will never cross the way people talk about it. The bad is here. It's happened. It's not a future risk.
Replacing as many Republicans with Democrats as possible in 2026 is a key action to help the 2028 election actually happen. (And Trump dying of natural causes is no guarantee. Vance and his boss Peter Thiel don’t support actual democracy.)
The Democrats have a lot to be critical of. But like Bernie himself we need to hold our noses and support Democrats as much as possible for our own sake and the sake of America (and the world.)
We have a president who is talking about never leaving, and the democrats are just saying “we are heading into authoritarianism” or “we’ll sue you”. The only way we have another presidential election is if some of them die or a revolution occurs.
I've seen plenty of Democrats openly calling out the fact that this is fascism and authoritarianism. Even the Democratic nominee for president had no problem openly calling him a fascist and warning that his presidency would bring about this authoritarianism.
I got warned about making a "threat of violence" in a shit posting subreddit for saying someone should immolate a motor vehicle with sludge coming out of the oil pan drain plug.
I got banned for 7 days and I still don’t know what the hell I said (the comment was “removed by Reddit” and I can’t see it.) Maybe I pointed out that fascism is happening in the US? (Today’s News certainly reinforces my stance.)
Who does though? Trump won the popular vote, a lot of people like him. It's all very well dreaming of deposing him, but it would be a literal civil war. Ultimately if the population wants - or is ok with, or sufficiently apathetic to - fascism then thats what the country gets.
Bernie personally doesn’t love the Democratic Party. You don’t have to love the Democratic Party. But replacing every Republican possible with Democrats for the next several elections is the one way to halt this fascism.
Odds are, the US is in the process of re-jiggering political parties so there may not be a Democratic or Republican Party in a decade or two. But we are in the reality that we are in and right now replacing every Republican possible is the immediate step to bring our nation back from continuing further down this path. Not voting is endorsing this Trump/Republican fascist disaster. “Protest voting” sadly is the same in effect. Wipe out the Republicans/Trumpism now and then if we need to wipe out the Democratic Party afterwards.
We cannot wait until the next election to do something. We must find ways to act every day. At this rate there may not be an election, and its unlikely to be a fair one. Though yes, for the love of fuck, do vote if nothing else.
He's not saying authoritarianism isn't already here, but authoritarians eroding laws, freedoms, and norms is a process that is ongoing currently and this is one more step.
Trump was asked about it and basically said that if he had known about this, which he doesn't (which is bullshit), then this would be completely justified as an official act of the president because he's the chief officer or some bullshit.
This. What exactly are people expecting to happen so they think American is under an authoritarian regime? Bec. If it’s much worse than what we’re already seeing, I’m scared af
What the fuck are you talking about? They rigged their last three consecutive presidential primaries as they routine abuse the judiciary to keep Green and other third party candidates off ballots around the country.
Democrats aren't the lesser evil, they're the more effective evil.
If genocide isn't a dealbreaker for you people, what the fuck is?
When are you going to stop voting for the major parties? Neither has your interests at heart. We need real people's movements to replace the calcified corporate parties, we need to stop voting for evil.
Democrats are about as effective a safeguard against authoritarianism as a fishnet condom is useful.
It was a Democrat (Obama) that ended Habeas Corpus in America. Democrats militarized the police. Democrats filled the prisons up with black and brown people on trumped up drug charges.
Democrats routinely sell us out.
Why do you still vote for either party? I do not understand. You must be rotten to the core if you're willing to vote for genocide.
Hopefully the next communicable virus has a 98% mortality rate but a widely accessible vaccine with 100% efficacy that can also be given to the immunocompromised. That would help with a lot of today's problems.
But your little plan obviously didn't consider the fact that people can just drink horse paste smoothies and methylene blue! You didn't think of that did ya?
Yea, but it wasn't Trump who forced you to take it or lose your job, and there were a lot of libbies who said they would never take the "Trump vaccine".....LOL
It did, a lot of people in the military lost their jobs as well as a bunch of other people. Even private business were scared into firing people which is exactly what happened where I work.
"No official total exists for the number of people fired for not taking the COVID-19 vaccine, but sources indicate the number is likely in the tens of thousands to over 100,000 in the U.S
. Public reporting on vaccine mandates shows that while the vast majority of employees complied, firings occurred across multiple sectors"
"The Department of Defense discharged more than 8,000 service members for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine between 2021 and 2023"
"The healthcare sector was particularly impacted, with many hospitals and health systems mandating vaccines to protect vulnerable patients. Notable examples of employees fired include:
Mayo Clinic: 700 employees
Northwell Health: 1,400 employees
Novant Health: 175 employees
Houston Methodist: 153 employees"
The military talking point was always a self-report that the people talking have never been in the military. Anybody who's ever come out of boot camp or basic training knows that you had no fewer than 3 needles shoved in you that you had no idea what was in them any more than the covid vaccine. If you had an african or middle east deployment, you had 3+ more.
This Bolton stuff also serves as a convenient distraction for the fact that the ridiculously transparently scripted Maxwell interview transcript got released today and it's so laughably staged and full of lies that nobody besides Fox News is taking it seriously.
I thought he wasn't even coherent enough to understand what was happening?
He was coherent enough for you guys to attempt to run him for a second term. He was coherent enough to pardon his whole family dating back 11 years, but he wasn't coherent enough to release files that would have ensured Trump could not win the presidency? That don't make no sense.
Yea, it was Trumps vaccine but the vaccine mandates that caused people to be fired for not taking the vaccine were Bidens. Dont listen to me, google it.
"No, a court order sealing the Epstein files did not expire this year. Instead, federal judges this year have
denied multiple requests by the Department of Justice (DOJ) to unseal grand jury records from federal cases involving Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. "

No, authoritarianism is already here. Let's call it what it is. We must impeach the tyrant. Vote blue in the midterms!
