The revolution will not happen on Lemmy or any other public forum. You can only hurt yourself and your fellow travelers by posting violent threats or incitement to other illegal activity.

We could take advantage of that and win in 2026, giving Congress the ability to check the Trump administration. Or we could run out into the street and initiate uncontrolled, disorganized violence that will kill way more innocent civilians than anyone, giving Trump the excuse he wants to militarily shut down society. permalink fedilink source parent

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 1 point 7 months ago Trump is doing poorly in polling, he's an obvious pedophile and the economy is shit. We could take advantage of that and win in 2026, giving Congress the ability to check the Trump administration. Or we could run out into the street and initiate uncontrolled, disorganized violence that will kill way more innocent civilians than anyone, giving Trump the excuse he wants to militarily shut down society. permalink fedilink source parent
