  1. Joining and organizing within your local community to create connections with others is incredibly powerful, will lay the groundwork for effective resistance.
  2. We can effect things drastically with a general strike. This can massively impact their income streams, and can bring a government to its knees if done on a large enough scale.
  3. Join the IWW and attempt to unionize your workplace, so that the general strike is even more effective.

If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Join up with allies while we still can easily!

A simple bang is all that's needed.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 36 points 14 hours ago (5 children)

I don't actually think that is all that's needed. Trump is a symptom. He didn't write Project 2025. He's not the one with these ideas.

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 hours ago

Correct. Killing Hitler would not have stopped WW2, and killing Trump doesn't solve America's problems.

I would party for a week solid if that fucker caught a bullet, but it's not a solution in itself.

He didn't write Project 2025. He's not the one with these ideas.

True, but his cult of personality is integral to the power to keep everyone in line.

Insufficiently deferential Republican congresscritters won't be successfully primaried because of a mean tweet from Jericho Johnson, John Thune or the couch fucker.

Taking away a valuable tool that he is would be a start, though.

Ever seen that show Designated Survivor? I think the first season was pretty good

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 2 points 12 hours ago

I enjoyed it. I think it's great inspiration for a "do over".

Which section of Project 2025 is about acquiring Greenland?

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 11 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Simple to think about... extremely difficult to accomplish.

You'd really want it to be a series of smaller bangs on lower-level state figures. Less important, less protected, but still mission critical.

I’m not normally a Sondheim fan, but his musical ‘Assassins’ is pretty good. Just a random thought

[–] SreudianFlip@sh.itjust.works 8 points 13 hours ago

Fuckin' hard work, my friend. As Joe Hill said, "Don't mourn, organize!"

Second amendment... Your founding fathers already wrote the instructions for you. Just do it.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 6 points 12 hours ago

The problem is that no matter how right you are, the Second Amendment does not provide any guarantees for your safety after the fact. Someone has to be prepared to die to go through with it, because they're not taking a 2A invoker alive. There would never be a trial.

Mario's brother showed you the way.
