Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Damn they really out there brainstorming
I feel like I remember Mrs. Trump and Mr. Musk both talking about "terrorism". I remember Mrs. Trump even had a jacket for the occasion that said "I really don't care, do you?" to flaunt her hatred for our country.
Believe the "Don't really care" jacket was for a tour of a disaster zone, or maybe one of the kids-in-cages camps.
Sounds like "terrorism" to me. Deport deport deport!
Honestly? Fucking do it. Piss off millions of people within earshot of DC. Let's fucking see what happens.
Gestapo level shit. Need to rise up. No one cares anymore, and no one is willing to do what it will take.
I’m not convinced you would need to rise up. Just collectively stop going to work. The house of cards falls pretty quickly on capitalism if there are no workers to exploit.
All the power is in the populace if they all agree to take it back together.
It’s the laziest thing a person could do really. Just stay at home, ration food and wait until the billionaire folks lose their minds.
I think a general strike would be effective, but dangerous when people are kept so close to poverty.
Remember the pandemic, we "all" stopped going into work? Except the grocery store workers, and the food processor workers, and those that distribute the food, and water treatment plant staff, and the power plant, and hospital staff, and taxis, and drug store workers, and so on and on. Do those people stop working? How many people can't obtain the things they need beyond their next paycheck? What if in addition, the store shelves are empty?
I agree, it's the most feasible way to fight back, so don't get me wrong. But just like union dues and preparation enable a local strike, accounting for food, water, amenities...a general strike would need to do that or else we would be fighting a war of attrition not just against billionaires with multi-year bunkers but also against ourselves.
