Folks, if you hate authoritarianism, you should be feeling good this morning. In Serbia, a student-led movement just ousted a longtime strongman, peacefully. And we Americans should be paying attention, because we have a chance in November to send a similar message. (link below)

Proof that the most effective firewall against a strongman isn't a policy update, but a generation of students who finally realized they're the ones holding the admin password.

In the last few weeks on Netflix I watched documentaries about Mussolini, Czar Nicolas II, Louis XVI . Authoritarianism doesn’t seem to end well. Props to Louis XVI for saving America against Britain. Going into debt for us didn’t ultimately help him.

Only countries with free/fair elections should be allowed UN membership (No Kings, No Dictators, No corrupt/rigged elections). US, China, Russia should be removed from Security Country (China no elections, Russia sham elections + falsely invaded a country, US falsely invaded Iraq murdering 1 million

The US is too lazy to do what Serbian students have done now, and back in the late 90’s when they brought down the Milosevic regime. This took 2 years of work on their part and a deep understanding of their government. Most Americans think Trump is the only issue and he just needs to be voted out.

Their three slogans platform have very detailed plans to return Serbia from mafia like control to democracy. Let’s hope they are effective implementing it

Republicans are authoritarians and you're still one Adam The Republican party should go extinct and be replaced like the Federalists who also liked monarchies Republicans also support billionaires and are against healthcare

Since the GQPedphile Party hasn't passed much legislation, Trump does a lot by executive order. The Senate, in Democratic hands can block appointees and Congress has the power to cut off funding but this feckless Supreme Court has shredded a lot of the old guard rails. His legislative agenda 1/2

Would be dead but he has control over the military and foreign policy and his ability to create chaos would still be intact. Hopefully (and likely this is a vain hope) enough Republicans will want to move on and, in order to have a prayer in 2028, will need Trump out and will help impeach and remove

Investors should force him to resign or not invest. The Pentagon alone has awarded SpaceX $7 billion in contracts. That's an industry where there's no place for loose cannons (pun intended) like Musk. He runs his companies like Trump runs his country: via social media.

Serbia is the proof of concept, and the students did it without a single shot. The harder test is Ukraine's fight under artillery: authoritarianism doesn't stop at a border, so backing Kyiv means the same struggle with higher stakes.

students are voting there. they are engaged. like typically in Europe. in the USA it has to be seen.. they may care more about FB than their own future

Adam, Trump won the popular vote, the Electoral College and every swing state. That's called democracy — the thing you claim to defend. Calling your own President a dictator because your side keeps losing isn't 'Country First,' it's just sore losing.

Respect to those students… future leaders ❤️ A reminder that taking back your freedom does not come comfortably. It requires will power and strength in numbers. Hopefully the path you carve out leads to honest & considerate leadership.

Not just America, the whole world. Those students were incredibly courageous. Indians should be paying attention. Argentinians should be paying attention. And others, as well.

Serbians ousted an authoritarian because STUDENTS ACTUALLY SHOWED UP AND VOTED instead of sitting on their asses and regurgitating excuses they heard on TikTok about “not gonna support genocide”, to justify their apathy, laziness, gullibility, FOMO and straight-up contrarianism.

Yup, the US should definitely pay attention not to repeat Serbia's mistakes. "Student Ticket representative and one of its MP candidates, Professor Jovo Bakić, reiterated that the new government of Serbia will not impose sanctions on Russia."

serbianism.comStudent Ticket: New government of Serbia will not impose sanctions on RussiaThe bright future in Serbia with the Student Ticket that won the yesterday’s parliamentary elections is the same as the bright future in Serbia with Vučić’s party.

It's only good once it happens in America.Hooray, for them, if they can do it, so can we?And if we don't , we're more pathetic , and we are definitely not the most powerful country in the world.

And again, because the win was so big, the fascist did nothing but accept the reality of his loss. These were dictators that had held power for 12-16 years…. Swept from power by the people who refused to keep living under authoritarian rule. This next 8 days are our turn.

I feel good because of their consistency and creativity. There’s a lot to study and learn from what they have done in the last two years. Brazilians supporters of Lula, on the other hand, largely followed the winning system of Biden. Also a topic to study.
