MAGA voted for this Fascist Shitshow...

I keep saying this! That no one will save us but us!

Maybe, just maybe, it’s someone who was a long range sniper in the forces. You realize that the world record is held by a Canadian soldier at 5 miles??

NO ONE IS GOING TO SAVE US

Those that fail to learn and comprehend history are doomed to repeat it. The US is currently repeating 1936 Germany.

I keep saying this to everyone I know.

EXACTLY right!

We the people are it . I am ready

Once you hand over total control, it isn't easy to take it back. Tyranny concedes nothing without a demand.

We citizens are the boss and we have to fix this mess. I don’t see a hero anywhere!

He is not a real president. He stole the election.

Yes, few of us are qualified to lead a revolution. But most of us know enough about revolution to know they’re bloody. We hope the judiciary are not all insane or evil and that some legal procedure will be found to bring us back to service as normal in all its flawed adequacy.

The adults are in the minority party. The repubs have admitted they are too cowardly to stand up for the the oath they took to the Constitution. Unfortunately, too many dem pols are showing they are not capable of addressing the moment either.

Only a certain set of Americans believe this.

😡💙!

there was a way out. now there’s not. but there was. people just believed so truly that things were Already As Bad As Possible that they took the way out for granted and didn’t bother to show up when it mattered the most

This is what happens when the school systems goal is not to educate but to prevent being sued. All school; public, private and charter have serious issues. If I had school aged kids now, they've be homeschooled.

Recall Trump, the GOP Congress and for good measure Democrats as well. The idea is to see just what the American People are thinking. To establish how they expect issues to be dealt with.

💯

America, You have been dishing it out for years, I think you need a dose of Freedom yourselves

SCOTGOP - Too accurate! I kept hoping Biden would have added to SCOTUS. Thanks for the explanation I guess that's the military's job to dispose of him

You are unfamiliar with the "PopeHat" logo, or his work-OK. But greed and power are the root- religion is just a convenient vehicle for manipulating people's emotions.

You are obviously not familiar with domesticenemyhat (take a look at posts)/popehat on twitter... the symbology is more against than for organized religion. Pardon me if I appear to be stepping toes.

Nope, it's going to get WAY worse before it gets better, if it can get better. And it won't get better until we learn to act in unison. Even then, we're still in for a fight.

There isn’t one person. There’s millions Us

I think this too. They are not afraid to touch the stove because they’ve never been burned.

The opposition and resistance are the adults. We have to be the heroes. Stay loud, stay in elected representatives face, find ways to protect the vulnerable, don't surrender, DON'T obey in advance. Be the challenge to authoritarianism, be an agent of change. Be not afraid.

Yep, there are no 'adults in the room'...

Where are the bench warrants? Doge&Donald have been ignoring court orders for WEEKS now! Where are the warrants for D&D?

I am sadly starting to believe that..😞😫😞

We are the fucking adults in the room. And there is no savior.

It is up to the people to rise up. They didn't get off their assessment to vote. Now, they need to get off their asses a lot more to clean things up.

I’ve been saying a version of this forever…

Not any more.

Captain America isn’t coming. 😔

It is because they came for all fronts at once...but, the lack of education, the Faux News lies, then tRump lying constantly with the Republican chorus backing him up. The courts, the congress...they have been putting this in place since the 1980s. The perfect antichrist came along and they all fell

Hardly. Movements need leaders.

You asked where is Obama Clinton or Bush? Im saying why would any of them...just show up

We need leaders.

We didn’t know. I didn’t. I always felt safe in US. Not anymore. Sad.

Where's Iron Man when you need him.

The majority of Americans have their heads so far up their asses that they'll never see what's coming until it's too late.

I think many of us grew up thinking that certain chapters of history were "closed", that we had grown past the worst of it. I had an almost spiritual belief that things were always getting better. If I am lucky enough to have children, I will teach them about this moment and about my naivete.

Trump is the result of extremely soft and lazy men refusing to pay even slight attention to facts or reality... and instrad sereving their own personal delusions of grandure. And weak men make hard times.

Yup, and to be fair, there were some of those people in the last admin. And trump said they were why his first admin was bad and he wanted to fix it. And he has.

We can’t afford to be armchair Americans. We have an obligation to stand up against those who are dismantling of our Constitution and our Laws and our freedom.

Thinking Americans stopped believing this on Election Day 2016, if not sooner.

No one’s coming to save us.

That should be the first line of any voting ballot-in red ink

There is not and something REALLY bad is coming.

It's us. The adult is us. It's time to step up, everyone. Our freedom is worth it. We can't let fascism make its home here, nor can we let it spread to the rest of the world. We've defeated this brand of ugly before, and we can do it again. 💙

We’re going to have to REVOLT

"Safeguard Procedure" Aerosolized poison floods the WH

Voter engagement and participation in the mid-terms will be unimaginably epic and that is why they are in such a hurry to smash everything so the mid terms become easy to manipulate

Exactly.

Nope. The power came BEFORE the election, when we could vote for someone who cared. They blew it.

It’s us, ‘we the people’ We must do this together 🙏🏼🇺🇸⚖️🦅

Indeed very sad, a bloody TV celebrity and con man with a rich rascist from South Africa is now running the show with little regard for anyway but themselves and a few very rich men. 🥵🥶

Yes. The luxury of that security, if it ever truly existed in the first place, is gone.

They don’t understand that THEY (WE) are the ones that keep the President from doing anything really bad. Eternal vigilance is a full time job.

Agreed. Now that he's moved on to the military brass, the final steps will be in place to finish the job of destroying our government and way of life. Loyalist traitors at the head of every agency. Decent, sane, Americans need to get prepared like it's April 12, 1861.

They literally would come out of the voting booth say they voted for him, be of a group he vowed to do x to and they would say, 'awe nah, he isn't serious about that.' Or 'that won't actually happen.'

Agree. The cavalry is not coming.

People my age do not think that, I lived through the sixties. People in power only care about holding and increasing that power.

I believe this is going to take a revolt to correct. We the people need to take our power back.

Exactly. We are in for a scary ride

One of the problems in the US is having basically just a two party system and too much presidential powers. Having a multi party government makes it much less likely that one party has an absolute majority and thus can create laws on their own

A historian friend points out that all Americans alive today have lived their lives in a period of largely stable political consensus, compared to earlier eras- even taking into account the Vietnam/ civil rights struggles (and I'm of that generation) the foundations have seemed steady. Not now.

This is absolutely true. I hope we wake up before it’s too late!

There’s no last minute hero, no one is coming to save us. Only we can save ourselves

Spend no money February 28th.

Oh, and Trump v1, but I didn't have space/characters.

Don't forget Nixon or Dumps first term 800,000 people died because of his neglect.

What he's done up till now isn't bad?

Well, you know what they say. Third time is a charm…

The adult will have to be all of us, and it better be soon.

Can't happen - the DOJ and FBI are gone. Congress is a RED Butted Baboon, SCrOTUS is in Der Furrer's Pocket as with most Fed Judges. We have a FAKE DOGE dept that doesn't have a leader patching and destroying infrastructure and ignoring the Legislative Branch all together! Not-So-Civil WAR

You have less than 3 weeks left. Proposed GOP budget : Debt ceiling +$4T Tax cuts skewed to rich : $4.5T Spending cuts : $1.5T after increase of $325B in Defense/Border Other cuts in programs including Medicare & Medicaid : $2T Mortgage Interest Deduct gone? Does not include tariffs.

Look up your after Federal after-deductions income. Above $74k (US median income) = "PARTY!!!" Closer to $47k then, "Too bad." This does not include : Medicare/Medicaid & SNAP & Dep of Edu cuts Capital Gains or Corporate rate changes Mortgage Interest deduction removal? Tariff effects.

The NEW AMERICAN ORDER = the GOP mantra of the past 5+ decades : Keep 'em poor, afraid, ignorant, armed and pregnant. Now contains sick & substance-dependent additives. This term's specials are increased mortality and decreased safety. Limit one death per customer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEmf...

Oh, and after the wink to the fiscal hawks, if/when Thomas and/or Alito retire and are replaced by Cannon and/or Kacsmaryk and if Sotomayor or Kagan don't hang on another 4 years, it'll be a 6-3 or even 7-2 SC(R)OTUS through 2052. All Hail The Perpetual Unitary Executive.

Snug complacency. Turnout in the 1995 Quebec Referendum was 93.52%. The margin voting NOT to start down the path to secession was 1.16%, lower that the 1.82% of "invalid" ballots mostly "found" in the predominately "NO" ridings. Had 1 person in 50 not voted, then Canada might not exist today.

We have truly been too complacent , too affluent, too lazy, too self serving and watch way too much reality tv. We deserve this. Now let’s get busy and recover.

Unfortunately there is no leadership in the Democratic party. We need a savior.

Sure there are. They are us.

That's why it feels different this time.

We thought that back in 2016 as well.

Truth

I suspect that by making such a big deal about illegal immigrants, Trump has brought about the unintended consequence that they know to keep a very low profile if not actually go into hiding, and be extra alert.

2A solutions, as the right wing seems to be fond of saying? Seems we might be heading that way.

The moment an unfortunate and embarrassing amount of Americans realized that things were usually fair to middling because there wasn't an actual sociopath in the White House. Furthermore, there were no ultra wealthy robber baron capitalists as acting president. I love this for ancap Libertarians.

The USA are doomed. There is no good way out of this, only violence and bloodshed. Talking to Maga is useless, so there is no other option left.

The Christian Nationalists have spent the last 160 years trying to bring back the Confederacy. Unfortunately, they seem to have succeeded.

We have to be the adults.

It up to us

I think so too! We’ve had a relatively safe government, can do what we want, go where we want…the majority I should add. Therefore, the care isn’t there. Add to that the lack of civics education in schools. AND, the advent of social media with short attention spans.

Not one adult, 200 + million adults.

Here's a bit from my favourite manga. "And when power stagnates, power becomes corrupted."

Some Americans maybe, but I’m paying attention and my head shaking may become permanent.

Plays alongside our superhero and cowboy myths. A Rugged Individual steps in and saves us all.

I am honestly fine with people who are reasonable, kind and tolerant helping one another because that is their usual impulse (even when voting) and with the sort of assholes who voted Republican because they believe in rugged individualism eating hard potatoes and dying alone.

Nobody wants to John Brown it. Except maybe Luigi.

We already fought a war against a king and a dictator. Hell we even fought ourselves. What’s one more shitbag to fight.

The US installed many dictators and then take some of them out, when their usefulness came to an end.

We need the Military chiefs who are still there(are they?),who align themselves with protecting the constitution,to step up and stand with us,not the nazis. I fear that if they don't,this nation will burn and millions will either be disappeared or die. Thats where we are now. Stop under reacting.

And what does step in mean exactly?

Nope, there's not
