      They won’t until upper middle class college educated white people start being affected. The Vietnam War didn’t become a controversial topic with this demographic until they started drafting college students. Once they start sending wealthier native born white people to camps for voting Democrat is when the fighting will happen on a national scale.

      The parallels are scary. But seriously fight back your future is at stake. I have never seen such a rise in hatred and immotivated targeting of any cultural dissent in the past few years. Now anything non trumpish is being seen as un-american, but Trump is un-american, betraying in the most vulgar way the constitution. Now even legal paying foreigners are seeing more shit. And now even Americans are seeing some shit too, and it’s getting worse with palantir collecting anything personal.

      Tell you what- the world can consider helping out when even one person out a couple hundred million American cowards lifts a single goddamn finger.

            Absolutely nothing- but shhhh… don’t say that out loud. You’ll upset the people who did fuck all.

          I’ll agree that that was a good thing to see. But that was over a month ago so I’ll also ask what has happened since?

            I honestly can’t measure the exact impact it’s had since just this month the Epstein cover up has overshadowed it in terms of how much Trump is struggling to be a president. We didn’t even have a month between massive embarrassments.

              Oh hey.

              I can measure it.

              They shot four high profile democrats that weekend. Two of them died.

              They racked up a body count while you were congratulating yourself about the cute signs you made to take to the little parade on a Saturday. Good thing there wasn’t any rain or you might have had to cancel the thing.

                  I remember trying to use “calm down” as a power move when I was in high school. I’m sure it didn’t at all telegraph to everyone in earshot that I was too fragile to face up to the discussion and too terrified to offer anything useful.

          No Kings was an absolute joke. Great job showing the fascists exactly how little a threat you are. If anything, that weekend’s biggest accomplishment was to embolden the far right. Call it what it is- you did a parade.

          How many of those millions showed up armed?

          And what happened when they didn’t get what they wanted?

          That’s right, they mostly moved on to the next shiny distraction, love island or whatever. It’s time to revolt, and liberals still think going out with signs once a year is “protest”

            Just because you don’t see resistance happening on your pretty little television screen doesn’t mean there isn’t organizing going on in the background. And no, I don’t mean protests.

              What do you mean? Y’all still bitching Kamala Harris didn’t win, is that your organizing? Are you organizing to elect Gavin Newsom next are should we give Biden another shot?

              Describe the organizing you’re doing, because I’ve found nothing but resistance to any organizing from liberals.

              Yeah that’s what I said.

              “Organize” doesn’t mean you find out there’s a planned protest in a designated area away from everyone and surrounded by cops to make sure you’re contained. That’s performative.

              Organize means building power from the ground up, knocking on doors, meeting in living rooms, cooking meals, making childcare plans, and finding the people in your community who are ready to fight and ready to love. It means strategizing together, planning direct actions that disrupt, not entertain power. It means understanding that the terrain of struggle isn’t just symbolic; it’s material. Streets, workplaces, campuses, and housing complexes become the front lines.

              Organizing is about forming bonds that last beyond a single march, about mutual trust and shared risk. It’s not just about showing up, it’s about staying. It’s not a hashtag, it’s a commitment. It’s not consent to be managed, it’s consent to resist.

            Don’t you dare question those lazy, servile Americans. They’ll downvote you and call you a keyboard warrior and demand to know WHAT YOU DID in response to their pants-pissing inaction.

    Don’t worry.They’ll learn a valuable lesson from the fallout from this and similar cases.

    From then on, ICE will make sure their victims really are dead.
