No Stupid Questions

Now that the corpos and billionaires know that they can be openly and brazenly corrupt and greatly accelerate their schemes, we will never see a return to the politics of old where hiding it minimized profit regardless of who the next puppet figurehead is. You cannot un-ring the bell.

Sometimes those people's necks just start squirting randomly.

Being allowed to run again, despite being a felon highlights a glaring gap in the ability of US politics to prevent shit like this from happening.

In the UK some right wing manosphere influencer keeps saying how he's gonna run for Mayor of London (Ant Middleton).

People are gleefully pointing out that his convictions for assaulting a police officer and tax evasion bar him from the role.

Vote enough non-Republicans into Congress, impeach, and convict? Wait for whatever is turning his skin purple to take its course?

1/3 of US renters not paying their rent in a coördinated strike for one month would unwind a lot of landlord loans and collapse Wall Street which is where Trump stores his wealth.

Three things: 1. A general strike. 2. Vote them out in the mid-terms this November. 3. Full scale revolution.

Yes. And I am being serious.

When JD Vance has a Congress that will back him (which he will have in 10 months), he, and a majority of the Cabinet, can invoke Section 4 of the 25th amendment. He can declare the President incapable of performing his duties, and step up to the plate. Congress then has the opportunity to decide whether to support his coup, or reinstate Trump to the presidency.

To be successful, he will have to immediately blame Trump for attempting to block the midterm elections, and appoint a special prosecutor to look into the full scope of Trump's numerous, unadjudicated crimes.

For (most) of the next 10 months, JD Vance will have to continue to appear to support Trump's presidency, and Trump will have to continue his own Trumpiness.

yes, a General Strike... if the people of the USA stop working for a week, that would be enough to cripple the Orange pedophile supporters

In the meantime, you can do very easy stuff like deleting your Meta (Facebook, Instagram, etc), Google, Xitter and Amazon accounts... but that seems like too much to ask of the American people... better descend further into fascism and drag the world down than stop using X

In November he's going to try and steel the election, if we effective block that, his days are numbered, so get organized locally.

Sorry lone wolves, you had your shot and and all your incoherent takes achieved was a poll boost for him.

Vote in better Congresspeople who will vote to remove him from office. The problem is the people. Always has been.

Looks like America (and the rest of the world) has to suffer him at this stage, unless they go full coup de tar mode.

I wonder what the future leaders will look like for Russia, USA and China...

Republicans need to go blue. They’re going to target purple areas for election fraud- deep red states need to go “That’s it, we’re done. You won’t do anything, so we’re changing parties.” They can fix small elections but can’t fix the whole country.

Yes. Maga gets tremendous power from 2 main sources. 1. Money. 2. Social media, and also religion, but not much you can do about that.

So, like Kimmel situation, disney had profit in firing him, once peiple boycotted, it did not, so had to bring him back.

You need to make siding with trump non-profitable.

That means, you, an individual, even if you think your choices dont matter, you need to boycott every company that supports trump, no matter how hard it hurts you. Now, it does t need to be a complete boycott. But as much as possible. For example, there are suitable replacements for chrome, and google search. But not really for YouTube. You don't need the stock for these companies to be zero. You just need the projections to be significantly negative.

This is especially important for the social media maga controls.

They are using it to brainwash others. Not you. They know you cant be persuaded to become maga. So they let you think it is free, and subtly control what you're allowed to see, and they corrupt young people, spread lies, teach to hate women, etc... they wont show the ones they are brainwashing all the truths you know about maga.

They have this power because everyone continues to use their platforms. So number one thing is to stop using meta, twitter, and tiktok, no matter how much you love those. Force people to use signal if they want to contact you, not WhatsApp.

Organize irl, whatever local movement you align with that fits into being pro democracy and freedom and equality for all.

When people organize, they can donate, and fund. This lets you go and protest on congress' front lawn. You can have buses, trains, free food, things people need to come and go, and create a sustained peaceful protest. And MAGA will see that. The administration will be forced to call them paid actors. So be vocal. Get pro democracy flags for your car. Put them up in your homes. Maga can control what the brainwashed see on social media, but not irl. So you need to be vocal irl. Social media makes everyone think all the world agrees with them.

Do all of those things, and trump will lose tremendous power.

Even if you act alone. Make the sacrifice. Show by example, and remember those videos of one man dancing alone, and then another joins and another, and once people see the movement they join in. Start the wave.

I suggest this.

Edit: to clarify nonviolent protests, at least 3.5% of the population.

storming the gates would be a pretty stupid idea if i recall correctly

The way I see the only chance is if Peter Thiel backs a Trump removal sometime after the midterms. In that case we would have Trump out.

On the other hand, the goal would be so that J. D. “Couchfucker” Vance can serve the remainder of his term and then still be constitutionally eligible for two terms, leading to a decade of President J. D. “I Also Fucked Erika Kirk Because I Actually Hate My Wife Who Isn’t White And Isn’t Christian” Vance 🫡🇺🇸🛋️💦✝️🙏

US politicians doing their jobs, serving and representing the American people.

With some luck diabeties or aneurysm. He looks ripe for it.

This is why relying on "political will" to enforce accountability is incompetent.

You'll notice that Noem is now facing possible perjury-prosecution, but the in-favor/in-power ones aren't..

Politically-based "accountability" is accountability-to-power's-narcissism, only, in the end.

It has to be done automatically, at the system-level.

It had to be automatic that he couldn't even be eligible for election, instead of "saying sorry after gets shit done, whereas asking permission gets one prevented" kind of thing.

DarkTriad/DarkTetrad people have to be automatically & systematically prevented from authority-roles.

Society-wide.

No "political" alternative prevents the problem anywhere-near so efficiently.

So, to your question "is there anything else anyone can do to get Trump out", no: it's too late.

Any attempt at impeaching him, now, would trigger his invoking of The Insurrection Act, & activating total-dictatorship.

Which he is going to do regardless, once his frustration reaches high-enough intensity.

"a penny's worth of prevention is worth a pound/euro of cure" is still true.

But at-last the lessons of what the Christians call "armageddon", these next 6-decades, will be significant..

Once the tippingpoint's crossed, I expect the Regional Consolidation Time to be Trump ditching/ignoring all the rest of the world except for his wars on conquering the Americas. ALL of them. Civil War Part2: confederate reverse-takeover & vengeance .. will only be a sub-plot, not the whole thing.

About 1/2-way through the 7-y cycle, I expect him to be replaced with Musk.

The problem isn't them: the problem is humankind's collective-unconscious-mind's ego-games, its "apocalypse" "proving its ego's IMPORTANCE", that "nothing is more god than ego's TANTRUM/POGROM is!!".

So, fundamentally, it's The Great Filter: our underlying toddler-nature breaking the world to "beat god and make god obey!!".

Trump, Putin, Millei, Farage, Orban, etc, highjacking the world for their exclusive-wealth/oligarchy .. that's only "makeup".

The communist-party's imperialism, in various national variants, is every bit as "fascist" in its DarkTetrad as individual-centered-fascism is.

The fundamental difference between individualism vs collectivism doesn't make imperialism somehow become not imperialism.

Party-imperialism's murdered millions.

What's the difference between how bad well-accomplished-sociopathy of the left is, vs the right?

the well-accomplished-sociopathy's the same, only the political-left vs political-right is different.

So why ignore the underlying sociopathy??

As ideologues consistently do.

It's foolish, in my opinion, to think that Putin & Trump are going to remain contradicting: their underlying goal is the same: competitive-nihilism & competitive-narcissism, at EVERYBODY-ELSE's expense.

But they're only 2 of many representatives of that "church".

See the overall-picture, not the only-local view: it's global, the forces are implacable, & humankind's positioned to .. not do well, this century.

Unless someone massively changes humankind's viability..

which would take dimensions of competence, & dimensions of self-conquering, that normals never allow anyone to earn ( far too "outlier" )

So, humankind is "walking the plank", now.

Other paths were possible..

Does anybody understand that preventing genociding in Palestine would have required about 6+decades of the UN being the only gov't there, & NO ideology imprinting anybody, not through education, not through prejudice, not through abuse, not through apartheid, not on either side!

& keep holding that, generation after generation, until the prejudices were extingushed-sufficiently.

No other path could have worked.

Making-believing, while accommodating ideological-prejudice's perpetual self-entrenchment sure as hell didn't work!

It's the same in the US.

It takes decades to create a population who can do correct-reasoning, & who is loyal-to/valuing-of it.

It takes only months to eradicate that, replacing it with ideological-prejudice.

The brain-system driving ideological-prejudice is more-primitive, more emotional.

The brain-system driving correct-reasoning & objectivity is the recentest part of the brain, the outer cortex ( top of brain, btw ).

the problem isn't local: it's racial. Whole-species.

Humankind's fighting-off moral-anxiety & correct-reasoning & objectivity by digging-into programmed-reacting, animal-"reasoning", ideology, prejudice, & ideological-"morality".

& about 9/10 of humankind's on the side of ideology, from the looks of things.

Trump's a symptom, not a cause.

The cause is whole-species-wide: our unconscious-ignorance's fighting-for-its-totalitarian-dominion.

Bring back the McRib. Im serious

I think the old ways are all gone. all the folks saying "just vote!" are optimistic but grossly underestimate the state of compromised U.S. politics at a level never seen before. never will there be another election that he doesn't taint. and I mean taint.

i think "voting" people into office happens all over the globe with varying degrees of successes and failures and gridlock. ultra rich pocket the leaders that have a price and remove those that dont.

i vote gate storm. we must form a more perfect union, plus he himself established the precedent that it's fine and those that do are patriots....

An exceptionally blue midterm this year. Not gonna happen this time around, as it needs a majority far beyond what is achievable in just one midterm election, but the long term clue is to have people willing to hold him accountable, instead of a congress consisting of 50% yes-men.

There's a lot of justified hate towards the dems, but believing voting for neither serves anyone but the doofus in charge is naive at best
