[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the OP posting headlines to show pushback, none of that matters. Trump is destroying the government and consolidating power so quickly it will be impossible to stop this democratic backsliding. We are at phase 5 out of 6. People need the wake up and DO SOMETHING. What you ask? Learn about non-cooperation tactics because protesting is not enough. Attend a Free DC orientation either in person or online. You do not need to be a DC resident. It’s just a good explainer of what is the authoritarian playbook, what phase we are in in the backsliding, hint phase 5 out of six! And what actions we can take. There’s a lot of touchy-feely/progressive/pronouns language, ignore that if you don’t like that. But the meat of it is very, very good. https://freedcproject.org/event-list[/quote] I was going to report your post, but decided to respond. You are acting like a counter resister. Saying none of these Trump losses matter. But you’re wrong. They do. It’s all well and good to promote your organization but HTH do you think anyone will show up when you say “it’s impossible to stop this backslide?” That doesn’t motivate people. I started this thread to protest people like you. There is hope. It won’t be easy, but there are cracks in the armor. By compiling these people should realize that all is not lost and there’s a better chance they will keep up the fighting spirit and get active. I find it disheartening that you would tell me my resistance work doesn’t matter. [/quote] OP I in no way was trying to offend you, but I think it’s really important that we are dealing with reality. I am not a member of FREE DC. I went to an orientation last night. They gave a good presentation of and laid out steps of democratic backsliding to authoritarianism. They commented that when they gave the presentation in February, we were on step two, we are now on step five. Trump is consolidating power at a rapid pace, and the “wins” that you are pointing to might make us feel good, but they aren’t doing anything. We must do more. Look at the Supreme Court’s ruling yesterday. I am no way trying to dissuade people from having any hope but we all need to do more. I was trying to give people tangible things they can do besides reading headlines that make you feel good.[/quote] There is no way out of Trump becoming the king of the US by 2026. Prepare now. If you don't you are foolish.[/quote] Actually there are multiple ways out. Think about it. And ominously telling people to “prepare now” without suggesting what such preparations might look like is the opposite of being helpful. [/quote]
