If Americans aren’t even willing to protest, truly protest, they’ve already lost their country to the first tinpot dictator that came along. It’s horrifying seeing someone downvote a post like yours that urges them to defend themselves.
America is lost and it’s because of Americans.
Typhoon@lemmy.cato politics @lemmy.world•Donald Trump accused of ‘turning military on American citizens’ over plans to send National Guard to Chicago1·24 minutes agoI still see many posts getting upvoted with excuses for why they’re not doing anything to save their own democracy/lives. And posts trying to prompt them to organize and resist get downvoted.
They’re not even willing to try saving their country. They just don’t have any fight in them. They’ve already lost the battle with fascism and it’s only just started.
“Home of the brave”.
Bullshit.

There are going to be a LOT of people like this until Americans stand up and make it stop. Until then they’ll keep working down their list of people to persecute.
Even if the keyboard warrior won’t actually do something, that doesn’t excuse you from doing the same.
It’s better to not even try. Sounds very American.

If they can make people accept this action then they can deport anyone anywhere anytime. It’s the next step in their fascist takeover of the US. It’s the equivalent of the Nazi party persecuting their political opponents, mentally ill, homeless, disabled and locking them up in Dachau.
