Serious question, what are we meant to do with all the die-hard Trumpers? Like there are people who are willing to kill for him, people who have gladly sacrificed their relationships with their friends and family for him. Even in the absolute fantasy world where the U.S. gov could be fixed via electoralism, we'd still have about a third of the country that is hungry to kill the other 2/3rds. At this point it looks like our options are either re-education camps, or bloodshed. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] EnderWiggin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* I think it's a trap. I think liberal institutions need to actually unify and resources. Money talks. Nothing about that has changed. Buying out board seats within corporate media, flooding the zone with lawsuits, staging organized major protests around the country, continuing to press back on right wing controlled social media (e.g. Facebook and Twitter). Think of it like laying a sort of political and legal siege to slow them down and starve them out rather than giving them what they want. Will that work? I have no idea, but I know walking into a trap surely won't. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Knoxvomica@lemmy.ca 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) I don't understand how you guys down south are still asking this question? It's obvious to us up in Canada, how is it not clear to you that you are ALSO and probably even moreso going through an existential threat. Get prepared, be ready, start that now. I know we are. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 year ago (1 child) maybe because it would be nice to avoid having our entire country kill each other? Maybe because all the people who have been brainwashed by our right-wing propoganda centers don't really deserve to die just because they were duped? What, are we supposed to be happy that we're rapidly heading towards the bloodiest conflict America has ever seen, just full speed ahead on death and destruction?
