"but he's hurting the wrong people, tell him that, he must not know it!"

Imagine being nostalgic for this.... That's scary AF

Because we did such a good job of that in his last presidency and he wasn't a god king yet. /s

fair :)

I don’t understand this sentiment

There’s a lot we can do right now, but the most important thing is organizing

Organizing? Resistance? Armed? That's honestly insane.

You're going to organize against half the US? Gonna start a civil war with every last (fully armed) enemy in your own backyard?

They could blockade cities from food and shut down any movement in 3 days.

The Civil War worked efficiently because there was a battlefront. This is more of a Republican Soup.

No way, actual popular vote win. Not even worth fighting for, try back in a couple generations.

Everyone says the other side is duped, I don't know how more clear he could be.

What do you think they’ll do? I

I have no idea what you're saying here, like which they? Why is there court involved? They will eventually push out democrats and there may be blood.

It's not for now, it's for our kids, or their kids, assuming we get some morals in a couple of generations.

Oh dems have. But you have to have control of the state to do that. Hogan (R governor) tried his damnest to unwrap central Maryland from Western Maryland.

Poor misunderstood Jeff.

Good people, all good people...

I'm not sure that we do. Not in our lifetimes anyway.

With a functional justice department we'd have a chance. There's nothing to stop them from tweaking the electoral lines. There's nothing to stop them from not certifying an election. We're about to have the scotus filled with young like-minded Republicans. We're about to have every federal judge biased for them.

Even having both sides of Congress the best thing we could do would be to status quo because every time a veto is overturned the scotus could just stamp it down as unconstitutional.

The president has God King status, he can have opponents jail for executed.

The thing is even if none of these things were in play, The popular vote just voted for a dictatorship. He was utterly and absolutely clear and anyone that says he was joking around doesn't actually believe that they're just too embarrass socially to announce that they themselves are racist/fascist/misogynist. There is nothing here to win back. We're better than 50% rotten to the core and those people aren't going away.

Even this election wasn't right versus left it's right versus more right. If you put a true left candidate in they're just going to get murdered. (That may or may not be literal)

I don't think it would have mattered starting a few months ago he was very open with everything that he did and said. But media like that has a tendency to get buried over time and I want my kids and their kids to know exactly what the f*** happened

For a while now I've wanted to start a project of shit politicians say. Video as much as possible. Every shitty immoral reprehensible thing that they come out and say and do logged into a searchable archive. Make it super easy for regular people to stitch together anti-political ads using the politicians own words with context.

Somebody needs to fix IPFS so we can archive all that shit and share in hosting a chunk.

You don't need to be faster than the bear, you just need to be faster than the other slowest campers.

Health care and small ticket entertainment industries are more recession-proof than new car sales and home sales.

Stay away from big public corporations that are going to fire a bunch of people as soon as the stocks dip a few percent.

Make sure your boss knows about the family you're supporting, but in a friendly, proud way If you have kids make sure their pictures are on your desk

If you're in some field where there's new and different technology around it's not a bad thing to brush up continue education , Even if it's just something as simple as watching YouTube videos and talking with your boss about it, especially if it's something they mention that they have an interest in.

I know being a bootlicker is terribly out of fashion, but, within reason, try to make yourself the most useful cog you can be. Don't kill yourself bending over, don't just let them take a wild advantage of you, But try to make sure that in your boss's mind that there are people the team who are more replaceable than you are.

With any luck we won't have to endure a pandemic at the same time

None of this in the end may help, it's merely suggestions to help you position yourself.

Yeah, the red states already hamstring k-12 to the point they can't function.

Feds never should have let that happen.

Yes, this absolutely will not change in our lifetimes unless drastic things happen that can change the hearts of a huge swath of our population.

They're not being tricked, he's been painfully clear.

No way blue turnout is even marginally higher and any possible red votes go to zero.

The US as a whole is simply irredeemable. The want blood, and they're going to get it.
