Automatically register them to vote too. 😉

Me: “Israel is committing all 5 definitions of genocide, has been doing war crimes for decades, and needs to be subject to tribunals in the Hague.”

Lemmings: “But you won’t let me say we should exterminate the Jews! You’re a Zionist!”

😂

Won’t happen in the US because, like I said in the other post, people have no savings, are living paycheck to paycheck, and can’t take time off work for such things.

And, yeah, most people are happy with their representation.

Congress as a whole has incredibly low ratings, but when asked about YOUR congressperson, most people approve.

Protesting in my city is pointless because Republicans immediately write off my city and my state and have been doing so for decades because we don’t vote for them.

The million Covid deaths were due to incompetence, not fascism. 😉 It would be so much worse if he was actually good at fascism. LOL.

More important is if the game looks and runs well.

It’s not about affording to not go to work, it’s about affording to lose your job, and that’s what would happen in the case of a general strike.

The vast majority of Americans have no union protection, just 10% of the workforce as of 2025:

That’s down from 18% in 1985, and a full third of the workforce back in the 40s.

In an era where Americans have no savings and couldn’t survive an emergency expenditure of $1,000, being able to keep working IS a significant motivator.

They are trying, but as Democrats, they have no actual power in the House or Senate:

Any member can initiate it, and in fact already have, but it’s up to Johnson to bring it to a vote which he will never do.

So far, the only House members bringing impeachment articles are Democrats and Democrats do not have the ability to force votes in the House because it’s currently Republican controlled.

That COULD change in November, but the new House won’t get seated until January, 2027. That will be the soonest we could see impeachment voted on.

But none of that matters unless the Senate flips as well, we need a 60 vote majority in the Senate to overcome the filibuster and a 67 vote majority to convict and remove Trump, the Democrats aren’t even CLOSE to that.

Pretty much. The only action civilians can take that will actually do something is to vote and that’s 7 months away.

Google Drive has the same problem, and while you CAN report individual content and users as spam, it doesn’t block them from creating a new user and doing it again.

Americans have never actually seen a fascist government. Trump is headed that way, but he’s not yet in the same league as a Hitler, Mussolini, or Franco.

I mean, you can read his record from the last impeachment, it’s not like it’s buried or anything:

In countries that are tiny compared to the US. For me, personally, going to Washington D.C. to protest is either a 5 hour flight or a 41 hour drive.

There’s no point protesting locally because the local politicians are already on the right side of things.

LOL - People aren’t going to strike as long as they still need to put food on the table and gas in the car.

Folks outside the US talk a good game, but they don’t understand the reality of “right to work” states. You can be fired at any time, for any reason, or no reason at all.

When you live paycheck to paycheck, that’s a big incentive to not strike.

What they can’t ignore is voting them out, hopefully No Kings will organize that as we get closer to the elections in November.

Until then? All the noise? All the protests? They don’t care. They really do not.

The writing is on the wall for the House, the Republicans will be out.

The Senate is where No Kings needs to move the needle.

Well, that’s what the No Kings protests are doing, how is that working out? 😉

Well of course the Democrats are going to support it, just like they supported it the last two times Trump was impeached.

Coming from the opposition, that doesn’t mean much, like when the Republicans impeached Clinton over a blow job.
