resist? young american democrats couldn't even be bothered to vote. simple, safe, free, elections, even after having lost nationwide safe access to abortions, young democrats didn't show up. you know who did young republicans, and more arab and latino americans than have ever voted for any republican candidate in american history before, and they voted for trump. active sustained resistance? they couldn't even be bothered to vote, man.

As of current count, 75,017,613 did in fact bother to vote Democrat, and 75 million people resisting is more than would be needed to grind most federal government operation to a halt.

That's why a key point of Project 2025 is to get both Democrats and "RINO" (or people who voted Republican, then realized their mistake), as far away as possible from any position of power.

Yep. Conscientious objectors won't save us this time, disruption is going to have to happen in the streets.

How can I resist, from my armchair, without doing anything physical or spending money? Once we figure out how to solve this problem with a hashtag, we’re gonna destroy authoritarianism.

Play as a Republican on social media and sow division?

Haha. Like the “ML” did with genocide Joe? Seems like it works.
