Heres a guy with a couple of ideas that seem to be better than photo ops! It would be nice to see a coherent strategy that brought people together. Taking pictures and pretending to resist is not it chief. It's exactly how we got here in the first place. Would love to see a few ideas from this guy come to life. Dragging the ICC into investigate. Starting a civil investigation outside of congress, preparing evidence for prosecution. There are plenty of ideas floating around. I was inspired by Bookers filibuster, i watched for 14 hours. There was no follow up. If you're serious about the fascists and you think that the media is going to suddenly wake people up against them, I have some really disappointing news about media: social, art, and news.
How much oppression do you need before photo ops feel underwhelming? I guess i just have to wait for the hunger to take hold, won't be long now that we've disrupted our agriculture and food imports. big angry hungry mob knows what to do with congressmen who violate their oaths and everyones rights. Democrats are not working to solve this issue. this doesn't go away with Trump. If trump loses Fox news, that doesn't mean fox news is done with this plan. It means their plan got away from them and they need a quiet reset. We can't let this societal rot continue, but it seems we will. As long as the dems can feed you enough false hope through photo ops.
The republicans always lead a good opposition party because they know how to get people pissed, and get the pissed off people involved. We're not doing either lol. Organize more marches, protests boycotts, I want to see more civil rights movement protests, I'd like to see lawmakers organizing those not speeches for the press. Go to republican states, find the republicans who are losing benefits, jobs, houses farms, turn them against republicans. Stop with the TV bullshit, more people watch joe rogan than all of cable news you goobers. its a new world and we let joe rogan hand 15% of trumps voters directly to him. You want a CNN clip. Bro get with le Times.
