Imagine having the power to have a direct conversation with God, and you do it to think about a Gantt chart that, upon waking, you realize can't exist within the two dimensions of Microsoft Project and is worthless.

Did you just argue that if you group "supports" and "doesn't care" opinions on Trump together, they still don't reach 51%, then conclude from that that all Americans hate freedom?

They largely know. They think Trump will accelerate some sort of weird workers revolution and they'll be *begged* to be in charge based on their impeccable blue sky opinions.

The communists thought Hitler would accelerate their rise in Germany for the same reason.

All of these protests have been on one side of the spectrum, too. It’s darkly funny to imagine how Dems would react if the largest protests in history were regularly being held AGAINST them - they’d have surrendered to King Trump years ago - but when it’s in their favor they just ignore it

Six out of eight of the largest mass-movement protests in US history have happened since 2017. You wouldn't know this from most media reporting, and you sure af wouldn't know this from the way either major party has reacted.

Everyone loves people who punch down

austinwiltshire.bsky.social @austinwiltshire.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah, everyone's happy to berate protesters into "being peaceful" and no one seems to be *congratulating them* on *not escalating* in a very, very frustrating environment where it'd be very easy to understand why they'd do so.

While it'd be an escalation and put lives in danger, ultimately ignoring the courts is a big win for "which side does the DOD / NATO back"

It's threading a needle. No one tactic can be relied on, they'll evolve like cancer.

Focus on non-violent mockery, but always prepare to try other things.

Voting isn’t the solution unto itself, but it’s critically important at the local level.

There will be 52,000 elections held next month alone, and many will be determined purely by turnout.

You know what to do.
