Liberation day.
The day trump liberates us of democracy.
Release the Trump/Epstein files
Ironic to see a post like this in a "liberal gun owners" community, yet I haven't heard ANYTHING about Americans standing up to ICE or other fascists by using their guns. It's as if Americans were cowards and willing to lay down in front of literal nazis
I'm Canadian and all I see are cowards south of the border. Fucking pussies.
They aren't targeting gun owners yet
Lay down? They actively voted for it!
ELI5, (not American here), republicans want less federal control or total federal control?
Republicans claim to want less federal control but support trump asserting total federal control
Really they just want to tell others what to do but don't like when they get told what to do
Yes, is the answer. They want to eat the cake and to still have it. By selectively enforcing or ignoring law, they get to exert more control over the agenda.
So many people are taking this as a joke. It's parallels to 1930s Germany is so scary. I always used to think that the German people only became Nazis because they feared for their own lives. Now I'm starting to think from the way I see people reacting online that most people are born Nazis and I was the one who misjudged everything. Until the day I die I will never understand people's hatred against one another. We are all born naked, and we will all die alone. Most of us have around 60 years in between and some people choose to fill their days by making it worse for others. We will wipe out our own race through fear and ignorance.
This is absolutely part of an overall plan to normalize military occupation of US cities and a continuation of what was started in LA by equating protest with rebellion.
This will continue to escalate.
Trust me, we are not taking this as a joke. And the comparison to 1930s Germany is not hyperbole. Many have seen it since January; by now everybody should.
Many of us have seen it since long before January 2025. We were told we were overreacting.
I expected it to be bad. I expected it to be worse than first term.
I didn't expect it to be this bad.
Then, and I'm being deadly serious here, you should do a complete review of where you get your news from. This was all in the open long before the election, as part of the project 2025 leaks. "News" media refusing to cover it isn't media worth listening to.
Are we allowed to advocate for violence yet on lemmy.world? or are we still pretending we can reason with nazis? asking for a friend.
Violence is allowed when it is in self-defence.

I think people just straight up do not understand just how bad this is.
Apathy and cowardness. A winning combination.

Do none of these people have any backbones?
I mean yes this is very scary and concerning but also…
Yeah, but this is actually more disqualifying than the Epstein files. This isn't a distraction; this is the main event.
I think the Epstein files that no doubt clearly document tRump having sex with children is one of a very very very very few divisive issues amongst the almost-have-no-ethics MAGA base. I think it's the most threatening thing to Chump this year. I think he knows this and is trying to distract people from the Epstein files any way he can. There will be another DoC. Idk if there will be another Epstein files
Also, republicans can fire him at any time. This is a job that the American people allegedly hired him to do. He's doing a super shitty job by any measure. Fire his ass.
We need Congress to step up and be a full branch of government.
My hope is that a number of Republicans have been biding their time until they can coordinate and actually be effective. Until then, whatever, kiss the ring to not out yourself. But prepare to defend America.
The senate is lost to corporate interests. The corporate interest is currently (as it was with Mussolini) with authoritarian rule. There is more hope in the house but the same factors are at play. The military is also extremely powerful. You're going to have to seize power at the point of production.
Concerning and fascist.
Also another distraction from the EPSTEIN FILES.
I'm not so sure. Could be the other way round - every step you take towards dismantling democracy, you kinda want people looking the other way.
Yeah, but this time confirming Trump is a sadistic rapist will change peoples minds about him!
Are you sure?
I'm never sure, why do you ask?
I don't think they will change their minds
No shit? That's an amazing and unique insight no one has ever had before.
Glad to see they aren't sanewashing:
freewheeling press event ... false assertions
The speech veered from incorrect crime statistics to political grievances. He tied the takeover to cultural issues, railing against “sanctuary cities” and saying, “That’s why they want men playing in women’s sports. That’s why they want transgender for everybody. Everybody transgender.”
This is just another step towards tyranny and hopefully towards collapse. People who say it's not such a big thing and we "libs" are overreacting as usual, forgot that they said that about 100 other things, too.
Incidentally he's kinda making sure he "wins" the next election.
I just hope the country breaks down before that. Sorry, US Americans.
A child rapist is in carge of the DC police?
So when is the uprising going to start?
Are they handing out the Epstein files?
Satire:
All hail trump, narcissist and senile fascist leader of the immigrant yet somehow pure blood Americans! He has graced us all with another glorious decision! There is really no other way to get rid of the homeless infestation (except ofc providing a minimum safety net and having a semblance of empathy). He just has the balls to do what other, democratic, leaders don't dare (like full dictatorship).
Real talk:
Good luck out there.
Sure, the homelessness situation in the USA is dire, but there is only one reason to single out Washington DC, and it surely isn't homeless people.
Solve homelessness crisis, dear president
Are people still homeless in forced labour camps?
GOP: "Trick question, we obviously don't consider them to be people."
