It’s the feds playing GI Joe in Portland, not the protesters. And honestly, these demonstrators are comedic geniuses; they’ve turned the regime’s bargain-bin authoritarian cosplay into a full-blown slapstick routine.

Trump will pardon them, so they don’t care about breaking laws.

This isn’t “what fascism looks like.” It‘s fascism, plain and simple. America is a fascist dictatorship, full stop. Re-electing Trump made it so. The outrages against human rights
and the world are going to become far worse unless Americans resist this regime more than they are now.

We warned y’all. For years. You wrote us off as alarmist. Well, we got news for you. If he’s not stopped, he’s going to do a LOT worse by next year and worse still the year after. if you still that’s alarmist, you probably deserve the country you’re going to get.

But we don’t!

in a democracy, the government should fear the people, not the other way around.

Antisemitic? That’s rich coming from these Nazi-adjacent creeps.
The cartoon is a great depiction of President Miller and his useful orange figurehead.

To do what? Buy smoothies?

jeidswick.bsky.social @jeidswick.bsky.social · 8d

I understand. But can’t people in specific cities or locales sustain large protests over time (as they do in France)? And aren’t there other ways the resistance can stand up to these outrages more effectively than they are now?

This is fascist America.

Trump is probably culpable already of many serious state crimes he could be prosecuted for after leaving office. Which is one reason he intends never to leave office.

If justice were the goal, Trump would issue a full confession and submit himself to prison for the rest of his life.

Seeing so many people spreading the word about the No Kings rally on October 18th. Trump is scrambling to mobilize as much of the National Guard as he can to control the narrative, he was rattled by the last one on his birthday.
