The biggest issue America faces right now is the sheer number of people who still think rules, laws, and logic apply (they barely did in the first place but it's fully gone now). This administration, Israel, all the pedos, and all the oligarchs will not stop just because people vote against them. You cannot beat authoritarians with the system, you cannot beat them with laws, you cannot beat them with the truth, literally the only thing that can work against authoritarians is extreme violence against them.
We may get to that point, but we still have to work our way through all of our legal, Constitutional steps first. If we get to the point that they have thwarted every legal means, then it will be time to move to violence.
"Those who make peaceful change impossible, make violent revolution inevitable." -JFK
Has there been any case in history where a fascist dictatorship ended by voting them out? People need to accept the reality that a fascist takeover is happening
It just happened in Hungary after 16 years of Orban. The Soviet Union countries all fell with a minimum of violence. There weren't official votes, but the people made their choices very clear, and most countries accepted it, even Russia. Those that didn't, like Ceaucescu in Romania, met a bad end.
Sometimes a dictator realizes that he doesn't have a choice, and makes the smart decision. Other times their ego does the thinking, and it doesn't go so well. Guess which one Trump and the rest of his psycho henchmen will choose?Hint: they aren't known for SMART decisions.
Whoa, be careful, with quotes like that you might be considered a domestic terrorist /s
The violence comes when it is needed most.
In retrospect it will have been tardy.
