Point Roberts seems like a likely place for the Trump administration to try to escalate with Canada

They probably had a permit from the police so the answer is most likely no. Can’t really argue that they’re “obstructing” the sidewalk when you gave them permission to be there. That would hold up on Fox News but not in a courtroom.

They’re hiding his political motive so they have an excuse to not charge their violent extremist buddy with terrorism.

So they’re still afraid of accountability.

They’re already doing that. Unless they do something about outsourcing this is a meaningless policy.

All of the far right movements use the same talking points now, they just tailor them for local audiences. The GOP started spreading its filth worldwide decades ago. None of this is an accident.

There’s absolutely no way most mods on reddit are women. Leave it to the terminally online crowd to blame women for everything.

Not even remotely surprised this misogynistic incel bullshit came from X. Now they want to infect Lemmy too…gtfo. Fuck this thread.

Good, that means the bad guys are actually scared. Let the organizing continue.

We can start saving our country by winning local elections, and I’m glad that’s part of AOC/Bernie’s plan. It’s incredible (probably deliberate) how poorly the DNC leadership understands this country.

They’ve been pouring all their resources into national elections while neglecting state and county elections. The GOP figured out 20 years ago that dominating local politics is the secret to power in the US, and it’s long past time that we actually tried to counter them.

My health is very important to me, that’s why I want to die from preventable diseases.

While I’m also frustrated by the apparent apathy among Americans, we’ve only been under this admin for two months. In Hungary, Serbia and Turkey the admins have been around for much longer than that and the realities and consequences of oppressive government have had time to fully sink in.

That said, I try to be optimistic but it’s very difficult. Many sane Americans are behaving like an already defeated people, and the rest of the country either don’t care or actually cheer for it.

And once this admin entrenches itself, it’ll be extremely difficult to unroot. These are some of the richest and most powerful people in the world, with the world’s most advanced military and massive and heavily armed police force to back them up. And that’s not including all the nutjob private militias that will likely get deputized at some point. We’re already seeing them label the opposition as terrorists, where do you think we’ll be in a year?

I want to keep fighting but I’m not convinced enough of us take this as the very serious threat that it is. And not just to Americans, but to the whole world.

There’s tons of astroturfing from bots as well. Every other post about organizing is full of bots spouting negativity and right wing talking points.

In big threads on major subs they still get downvoted. In smaller ones you see then everywhere getting upvotes.

There was a post about the 34k people who showed at an AOC rally today and it was all “this won’t do anything” “crowds don’t matter” “this won’t win elections” “liberals are losers” etc. Even saw some trying to call AOC and Sanders “oligarchs” lol

Yeah, who was that guy again? Groucho Marx or something?

This lack of trust is literally the main goal of mass media, especially right wing media. When everyone else is your enemy, you won’t work together with them for your own benefit. Instead, you’ll trust the strongman to keep you safe from all the fake danger.

Social media accelerated this by an incredible amount. Today’s America feels like a completely different society from the one I grew up in the 90s.

And then she’ll lose to a Republican.

Burritos are terrorist cartel food designed to attack American buttholes and fatten our military. I don’t eat burritos. I will never eat burritos. Only burgers and bbq for this god damn American.

Give me a break, you don’t give a single shit about the environment.

How are unsold Teslas “government property”? Oh that’s right, they aren’t. Fucking fascists.
