2. Throw parades for the military instead of protests against ICE and MAGA. 3. Try to directly convince soldiers if you have any in your life. Send them pictures, videos and stories of how life is for the Russian soldiers.

If you have the stomach for it, there are some gruesome and terrifying videos and pictures out there. It’s mean, but it’s for their own good. Better to traumatize them than it actually happening to them. 4. Try to convince other Americans to do the same, so it will have a snowball effect.

1. Make and share videos and posts aimed at the military, like Senator Kelly did. (You can tell it was working because the regime got mad.) But play on their fear and their self-interest more than their sense of duty. Those are stronger motivators.

Remind them how fascism turned out for the Russian soldiers. Ask them if they want to get deployed to Greenland, get paid in freedom bucks, and be forced to watch Melania and throw parades for Trump’s birthday.

Four things you (YES YOU) can do to help ensure the military stays neutral, that is to say, on the side of the population instead of any politician’s side. You want the military to provide election security without taking sides.

LMAO at Democrats as a whole not even bothering to speak out against this war. Only that he didnt come to Congress first. They support this 100%. They just want Trump to take the political blowback for it. What a time to be alive, kids.

HEAR MY PROPHECY: Donald Trump will die or be bed-bound before the midterms and Vance sucks too much to keep the regime’s grip on the country. It’s still too tenuous and they were overconfident. America you will have been saved by McDonalds’ burgers! What a clown country!

I take it back. This is what would happen in any remotely competent country but Americans are too useless. You will keep patting yourselves on the back for "speaking truth to power" and doing absolutely nothing, and you will fumble your last chance to save democracy.

Americans right now: Hmmmm our democracy is in danger! What should I do? Should I look for rational and effective action I can take? Or should I keep pointing out the painfully obvious? Trump is a liar! Trump is a hypocrite! I spoke the truth! My job here is done!

JD Vance is not a sociopath. He has low empathy and he suppresses the rest but he’s not a complete sociopath. That’s not how sociopaths behave. They aren’t visibly upset by boos and they don’t wait for people to laugh at their jokes.

Now hold on let's avoid assigning blame to individuals again. Remember, we're talking about systems, not individuals. The goal is to systemically get soldiers to actively oppose the descent into fascism, not get a handful to admit blame.

They need to be here, protecting Americans from ICE. They need to be here, arresting officials who violate court orders. They need to be here, telling Congress it's time to do their job. They need to be here, protecting the constitution. Not over there, killing Cubans, Venezuelans, or Iranians.

The decline of right wing cultural production is just due to the fact that they don’t like culture, they like the signifiers of culture, ie “classic sculpture means white people are better.” They don’t like art at all except for this purpose. They don’t even like the nerd stuff they whine about

People who immigrate to the U.S. come here to find safety and opportunity and contribute to our communities. We should be welcomed with dignity, not demonized.

My American friends in antifascism. This is how the troops actually feel. How can you not see that this is a huge opportunity for you?

YES! I wholeheartedly support blue states banning together to COLLECT our federal income taxes to hold in escrow for release upon fair, open midterm elections! WE CAN’T TRUST 47 AND HIS THUGS TO LEAVE OUR ELECTIONS ALONE! States should use their National Guard to protect polls, ballot boxes from 47!

“I’m a political realist. I believe most Americans are racist, sexist cowards who crave fascism. That’s why I support moderate Democrats who back only the mildest of reforms and cater to those gently fascist voters. It’s the only way to stop Trump’s fascism!!!” ~ our feeds, now until November 🫤
