I sure wish I could wake up from this nightmare
You can. Take to the streets. Bring your family and friends. Meet like minded people. Organize. If you aren't into protesting, make food and bring it. Bring medical supplies and water. Feed the hungry. Help the injured. Document what is happening.
The only way to end it is to force the end.
I see a lot of comments from Americans these days along the lines of "someone needs to save us!"
Home of the brave, indeed.
Every single person in our military literally swore an oath to defend the constitution against domestic threats.
We don't need 'someone to save us', we need the people employed into the systems designed specifically to stop enemies of the US like Donald Trump to do their fucking job.
But yeah, shy of that apparently-fucking-pipedream, when legal justice isn't on the table, vigilante justice is all that's left. We also have a subculture in the US obsessed with the 2nd amendment that regularly has wet dreams about using their trusty boomstick to save the US from tyranny, so if one of them does want to step up and save us I certainly wouldn't complain.
We seem to have a lot of would-be heroes asleep at the wheel.
Yeah. I'm willing to be pleasantly surprised, but at this point I feel like it would be a surprise. For generations the slogans have sounded great but it's time to put money where those mouths have been.
Go on, America, prove me wrong.
100%. Whatever spine the US built its foundation on has long since dissolved.
We will not.
