Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin made the announcement Saturday. Meanwhile, Local officials, including Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles criticized such actions, saying that they made community members feel unsafe.
I really hope the answer isn’t “fast motion civil war”
I really hope so too.
How do we do that though
More protests, for the time being. Start organizing and connecting to and through the people organizing, if you’re in any position to, or at least start organizing your own life to prepare for the need for even more serious protests ahead. The thing about pressure is you can’t let up, or the pressure goes away the moment you do. The pressure must continue to build.
There is a general strike being talked about. It’s likely a couple years away, but it’s a serious threat to the establishment, and you should take it seriously. Whether you’re unionized or not, expect to participate, and start preparing for it. It’s not going to be easy, especially if you’re not in a union. Save what money you still can by not funding the things you don’t have to. Become the austerity they want to impose on you. Build support systems. Find a community that can help support you. You don’t need to live off grid and be totally self-sufficient. We live and thrive in communities and collaborative societies for a reason. Find people who need your help and can help you in turn. Find people you can rely on. Work to be less reliant on your paycheck, and be more involved with other real people who are likely in the same situation as you, like your neighbors and coworkers, even if you don’t like them personally. It’s not going to be easy, they’ve rigged the economy and our means of communication and socialization to make sure it isn’t easy. Have backup plans, and have backup plans for your backup plans. Expect that shit will get rough, things will be different, things will happen that you have not planned for. Success will look different from everything your entire life has told you success should look like, success will be survival. Expect that your desire for financial and social stability will get tested. Don’t cling to the established way of doing things or your pursuit of stability and the status quo will drag you down as it goes, things must be unstable if the status quo is going to change and you’ll have to let go eventually. Be prepared to find a new way to live. For the world to change, we must all be ready to change with it.
everyone left, right, and center is just coping on the idea things “return to normal” when trump dies, imo when that doesn’t happen is when things get…interesting.
ideally trump dues in the most public and embarrassingly way possible, cause if there’s even the slightest doubt how this shitstain croaks you know the CPM is gonna stoke their base of cultists into a frenzy
How do we do that though 😭 We’ve already done the largest nationwide protests. Twice.
