Yeah, those generals should find some backers, ask their loyalists down the chain to come with them, and march on Washington.

When is America going to do a Mussolini to trump? Hopefully they dont wait as long as Fascist Italy did
I vote Gadaffi style! Second place is Saddam style because he's already familiar with hiding in a bunker and if he's in there with anyone armed it might turn into a surprise Hitler.

Even if Americans actually stand up to this and General Strike or something, how long will it take anyone who isn't a white man to believe pretty much anything the American government tells them?
I was skeptical the entire country was going to fall, but now I think it is already happening. Putin won the cold war after we all thought it was over, I guess. And what a world he's provided for us...

Just prepping the landscape for the Russian takeover 😅😢
This shit is moving so fast. And any pushback initiative to the insanity moves so slow. I hope there will be real elections again in a few years, but it feels like game-over tbh
This is game over. They control the information flow and narrative. They have control of all branches of government. They will be able to do whatever they want because the people in charge of telling you something is wrong are all compromised. Nobody will be able to organize and even if they could, they would be instantly crushed with violent force and the ones who are supposed to stop that violent force will the ones doing it and nobody will bat an eye because half your country is fucking insane. And I doubt your country will be stopped by any other country because you are the most militarily powerful country on earth and the only competitors to you on earth are China and Russia, both of which benefit from this whole thing. It's too late. We are totally fucked unless you guys have a civil war like, tomorrow.
Yeah, people abroad are wondering why Americans won't just stand up, but the reality is that the country is massive and you need an incredible organizing effort to offer any real, organized resistance.
And sure, some groups have tried, but you really need your opposition party, or some kind of major celebrity, or someone else with major reach to organize something that reaches every American and pulls them together to action.
And that just hasn't happened. Some people have spoken out, but nobody has been willing to lead that next step and really lead a movement. Words aren't gonna be enough to counter this.
I'm hoping that blue states file state level treason charges for Trump, and every one of his appointees and co-conspirators, and begins to use the national guard and special task forces to find and capture them. If anything, wait until they are already in the state, then announce charges, and surround them before they can leave.
Also, make sure to look at the list of the biggest personal donors to the Trump campaign. Many of them probably live around you, and they paved the way for this bullshit
but the reality is that the country is massive and you need an incredible organizing effort to offer any real, organized resistance.
That's no problem.
The protests that brought down East Germany weren't that much organized at first. People went to the street every monday and that was it. Internet and instant messenger didn't exist back then. Most didn't even had a telephone at home and TV was censored by the state.
Children were pretty successful too. The whole worldwide protest grew from a single child.
The USA is big, yes, but the population live in the cities not in between them.
Now you know what to do:
Pick a day and go protest every week on that day in your city. Politics eventually will feel the pressure.

It’s the same strategy used by Hitler and the nazis to seize control of Germany. They initially only got control of some of the smaller, “less important” government departments. And then they just started drastically expanding the reach of existing departments, declaring themselves to be in charge of other departments, consolidating loyalists, etc…
The idea is that by the time opponents have time to push back, you have already seized control and are already ousting them. Court battles take months or years, but the takeover was done in a few days.
And unfortunately, us normies don't have a prayer against a modern military intent on enforcing fascism.

This is some dark shit. Removing proven leaders to promote cronies is both detrimental to our military strength and a massive red flag to our democracy. How this entire fascist takeover is being allowed is baffling to me. I genuinely fear for America.
Our democracy ended on January 20th.
I have been thinking that the US military is probably the final stop on Trump because they have been somewhat more rational. Well, as expected, it will no longer be the case.
