[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (2 children) We could end this nightmare in as little as a year. Vote in the midterms! Your life depends on it! If enough of us show up, it will be much more difficult to rig the election this time. This is your last chance to save the country. Make it count. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] RedPostItNote@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 child) I don’t mean to be negative but you need to prepare for all of this to go sideways. This situation will likely not lead to any type of meaningful midterm. Trump is not going to be leaving by his own volition. This is far worse than what most people can wrap their minds around right now. The DC move will be replicated in other cities soon, and the real bullshit will begin. When we did not prosecute Trump for his coup attempt, it was always going to lead here. Midterms won’t be how you win America back, I fear. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago “The crime and chaos in our streets makes it impossible to have midterm elections.

There is no electoral solution to a fascist dictatorship. The only thing you can do in the midterms is get people who won't meekly give in to every abuse of power, or who will rebuild after Trump dies instead of giving all control to oligarchs. We cannot end this nightmare unless Trump is dead, as he will never leave his new throne alive. permalink fedilink source parent
