There is nothing, nothing in the US news cycle from the last 2 months that don’t point to a totalitarian regime slowly infiltrating every aspect of civil society.

You guys need to fight back harder. Bullies are cowards, they will backpedal if they feel resistance. Harvard understood this.

To be fair, a large majority of Americans didn’t acknowledge the threat until very recently. In general, politicians do not go for bold moves unless they feel they have a large support from the population.

Never underestimate the destruction that stupid people in position of power can do.

I think their plan is to break every public institution, privatize it and buy it back for one tenth of its worth.

Same thing happened in the USSR in the 90s.

By this standard, Windows isn’t ready either. I use Mint, Windows and Mac interchangeably at work, and of the three, Windows is definitely the one with the most unpleasant surprises: computer slowing down for no apparent reason, printers disappearing, updates forcing you to reboot in the middle of something…

Mac is fantastic if you don’t mind feeling like your computer doesn’t belong to you.

This should show Americans how billionaires perceive “peaceful protests”.

Tariffs don’t work like that. They are taxes in foreign goods, so Americans are the ones paying.

This sounds so much like the “when the Communist revolution comes” of old Soviet countries…

Granted, but I was just pointing out that the act of burning teslas isn’t something that people do to “destroy cars so that Elon gets less money”. Mussolini wasn’t hanged upside down because his heels were stronger than his neck.

The goal is not to destroy cars, it is to destroy what it represents.

I see a lot of negative comments, but the sad truth is that resistance needs a political alternative, and Trump won’t stop.

So why don’t you try to put pressure on Dems so they represent you better? Ask them to take a real political position, publicly. Nobody should give them any money before they do.

This. Even if they don’t have any real power in the Senate or the House, they should be fighting and actively resisting on every front.

Protests, occupations, or any other popular movement initiated by the people will serve nothing unless they are clearly supported by the Democrats.

France is not like the US. There’s no such thing as a party line and party leaders do not have as much influence on members as is the case in the US.

You could have replied with Charles de Gaulle’s Wikipedia page and it wouldn’t have been less relevant.

(Btw this means you don’t know what you are talking about)

In the future, please try to verify if what you’re saying is true before you post. It make you look like a troll.

I don’t think it’s a distraction, Trump’s been talking about tariffs since he took office. And besides it seems clear he doesn’t give two shits about what people say.

Trump and co have 2 years (until the midterms) to bankrupt the US, let Bezos, Musk and Thiel buy whatever is left that can turn a profit (energy, utilities, etc.) and put loyalists in charge of the election in key states.

See USSR in the 90s.

Possible, they don’t seem to be sorted by either time, replies or likes.

Your comment had me go to YouTube to check, and almost all the top 30 comments were pro Zelensky.

Vote. In every election. In the primaries. The city you live in. The school council. And convince everyone you know to vote, too. Protest. Strike. Make people you know angry about what’s happening so they are motivated to stir shit up. You still can change things, but you are right: you can’t do it alone. So find as many people you can who can do it with you. Time is running out.
