The only thing that can stop the current administration is Trump's death. I'm not even advocating for anything; it's just a cold hard truth I've known since November 5, 2024. It doesn't matter how the elections go this year, because if it ever becomes a problem for them, congress would be suspended with the support of the oligarchs. He is king, and there is no way to challenge a king except real power.

I'm also not saying that Trump's death would be a quick fix, just a necessary step. The only advantage we have is that Vance is weak by design and would not be able to hold the coalition of oligarchs and fascist foot soldiers together on his own merits. However, if anybody to the left of a white cishet conservative liberal assassinated Trump, then the fascists would rally behind Vance until he enacted revenge and the Democrats would help them.

The only other thing that would create problems for them is if a broad coalition of people from leftists to liberals organized a serious insurgency against the government. They could undermine critical industries and governmental functions, slowing down the state's tyranny in specific, tangible ways. However, the vast majority of liberals are ideologically opposed to non state violence and don't accept that the country is that far gone. If there is insufficient support, the public will cheer on the fascists violently cracking down on the left because "don't ya know, antifa just as bad as the Gestapo putting brown people in camps!" America is truly the home of the chained and land of cowardly 🙄

don’t accept that the country is that far gone.

Not technically a liberal, but I think the country is that far gone and while I don't have an issue with non-state violence from the left (assuming its actually effective) I don't hold enough patriotism or feel any culpability for the current fascist admin to care to commit any myself. I expended a statistical anomaly of effort as an individual pre-November 5th to prevent Trump's victory. Drove hours to a different state in my junker ass car just to canvass in a swing state.

I'm done. I'm not putting my balls on the table when no one else seemed to have gave much of shit before. Just because the consequences are falling on everyone's stupid asses and now they all seem to care. Fuck em.
