Realistically, what do you expect at this point in time?
Trump's in office since less than a month. There have already been larger protests. With 50501, there is a movement growing. Things will take time.
I'm in favor of showing more empathy to everyone who's personally affected and didn't vote for this, including people who got robbed of their opportunity to vote.
It's unreasonable to ask already marginalized groups now "why aren't you correcting this?". There is no quick way to correct this. It will be a long and drawn-out process, and maybe will also require the insight of Americans that lying to masses is not voicing your opinion as free speech.
Protests barely have effect. What we need is more government workers growing spines.
We need every second amendment enthusiast to well regulate themselves into a militia and grow a fucking spine and fight this coup.
Or since the coup is marching in with laptops and USBs instead of tanks and guns, idk, fucking stop them?
A dangerous yet necessary concept
I think what he is saying is they are still trying to figure out the impact on them and their response.
We let ourselves get put in this shit, we need to deal with it. I am starting to believe the idea that we have to put fear into the heart of fascism. We cannot equivocate protecting free speech with protecting hate speech, we have to judge and call people out on their bullshit, otherwise we end up here.
