Good luck!
Unreal how many are still under some strange belief that the court system matters anymore. They have a dictator with 34 felony convictions who has never stepped foot in a prison as their glorious leader and they still think the court system works.
Plausible deniability.
But the courts putting ten toes down and saying they must be returned is important. Even tho that prison they're being sent to is a literal death camp, it's far away and there's plausible deniability about what's happening.
It's literally the same thing Germans went thru during WW2, lots of them, especially the military, had no idea what was actually happening and thought it was just prison.
You may not understand why the courts making a stand here is important. But them not doing pushes back the timeline of us getting out of this by years.
This is a very important step, and trump didn't take the time to undermine the courts before pulling it.
This leads to less people suffering, so it's very important to understand and support the parts of our legal system that is actually trying to do something. Even if they fail, it's important they're doing it.
Just in general, I'm tired of people acting like trying is only worth it when you know you're winning.
Everyone needs to wake the fuck up to this not being a battle, it's a war. And you never win a war without losing a few battles.
As a Canadian I would have loved it if you all would have woken the fuck up to the war years ago when it actually started. Now you gotta start running before you even know how to walk.
Uh, we’ve all known for years. We’ve been plenty awake and suffering for it the whole time. Unfortunately people (Democrats) who tend to act in good faith don’t know how to deal with people who don’t. While we were fighting for votes, they were fighting to make sure those votes didn’t count while we stood by and let them.
MILLIONS of voters were purged from the voter rolls and bomb threats were called into polling places in critical precincts on election day. The impact was more than enough to swing the election. Here’s the numbers. The elected democrats didn’t do enough to stop it and now we’re stuck fighting an uphill battle that we all must fight. It’s going to get ugly – for us and the rest of the world.
You blame Democrats and specific events. I blame the american populace, culture and political system. This began a lot more than just four years ago. Keeping the blinders on allowed them to take your country from you without you even realizing it was happening until it was too late.
Do tell. How would you have prevented all this from happening?
Well I certainly wouldn't have stuck my head in the sand and ignored it. Perhaps organize to start.
You could have started years ago when your fair leader sent his Nazi goons into your democratic institutions to shut them down and perhaps avoided his reelection by putting him in...oh I don't know...fucking, prison!
There were many reasons well before that...bush Jr ...weapons of mass distraction and all that bullshit as a single example.
You could have rioted when the supreme Court gave unlimited dictatorial power to your president prior to the election and shut down the election completely until something was done about it.
You also could have rioted when a 34 time convicted felon and known grifter was permitted to even run in the election A SECOND TIME.
You could be on general strike for the past month or more all refusing to work and supporting your neighbors so they don't have to either. Shutting down your economy and collapsing the financial system that props up heir drumphkin and his cronies. But you'd probably have to associate with people you don't know and your government has been telling you not to trust your entire life.
More options? There are many yet here we are.
Meet your neighbors. Organize. Resist. And quit blaming other people for your problems.
Decades...
Hell, generations
Your Canadian tho, so at least you have some excuse for just noticing, too many Americans think the same as you. And they have no excuse
I haven't just noticed. I've been watching your bullshit all along. Around 35 years of your bullshit not including my time as a youth. Decades, Generations. Splitting hairs does fuck all. Get your shit together and end this before we Canadians have to deal with it as well.
What is it with all the brand new accounts?
Did you really just join lemmy 2 days ago?
It just doesn't feel like it's growing this much, more like the same hyper argumentative people keep having to make new accounts for some reason...
I've been on Lemmy for 2 years. This account is simply for .world and it's bullshit inhabitants. Made for challenging American exceptionalism, American, individualism and American dictatorships. Without doxing myself to you crazy fucks. Like many Lemmy users I have multiple sign ins. This one is just for you and your bullshit. If the Chinese and Russians can do it openly so can We.
I can imagine that thought process has become apparent to more than just myself.
KMA> kiss my ass MURI> 'murica
Enjoy.
So your main is banned from .world?
Nope. It isn't. Just separated completely. Pushing the buttons of American citizens to get them angry enough to defend themselves is the current trajectory for ensuring the planned invasion of Canada fails to take place or at a minimum weakens the dictator to a point where he is easier dealt with.
It's not just 'murica you've drawn into this mess and some of us don't plan to sit back and let our country be over run by some celebrity asshole dictator and his oligarch buddies. I'm not in your country but this is what I can do for mine at the moment.
right, like, if you expect this step to fail then get your friends organized for the next battle, the court process is there to buy time and make sure the other avenues are fully explored
I am organized and Canadian. Y'all better hit the ground sprinting. You've fucked years of organizing time and decades of realization. No one did shit when the supreme Court gave dictatorial powers to your president before the election. That wasn't the biggest wakeup call you've ever heard? Why even allow the election to happen?
