Maybe it’s because I’m just very sensitive to these sorts of issues but when somebody fires a black man because they think he’s “woke”, it makes me believe that they didn’t fire him because he was woke. They fired him because he was black.
2nd. Is Trump just out there firing the people that will stand up to him ? If yes, we are in for a world of pain, this may not be how dictators are made, but it’s how they sustain their power 
Is Trump just out there firing the people that will stand up to him ?
How is this even a question? Yes, of course that’s what he’s doing. He’s literally following the playbook right wing think tanks wrote before the election. They’ve stated openly that this is all part of their plan. Purge the government of everyone but loyalists, and then act with impunity because the people whose job is to act as a check on executive power will rubber stamp everything.
God, Americans should be panicking right now and you’re all just sleepwalking into this.
Because a vast majority are fucking idiots. Everyone, with any sense, was yelling into the void between their ears about project 2025. Ads about it were everywhere, too. Stupid Stupid Stupid fucks.
Panicked and panicking, I felt helpless
Alone, there’s not much you can do. That’s why you need to organize. Find other people and groups to join with. Not only do you have more power as a group, but you have other people so you feel less alone and isolated.
Organize. Resist.
Yes, but also all of these local movements organize on Facebook 🙄
I can assure you, facebook is only a public face in many instances. much organizing is done in the backwoods of signal and briar.
Pardon my ignorance, but what is Briar?
all questions are good!
online organizing has an important place and, over the last 8 years, people have gotten much better at organizing safely online.
This. Facebook is just an entry point.
This is exactly why organizing in small ways is so important. You need to get plugged in, get connected, get into the right people’s contact lists, get onto the signal group chats. That’s where you’re going to hear about the stuff that’s going down. Thats where you’re going to get the chance to stand up and say “I can help with that”
As Tucker Carlson might say “I’m just asking the question “
You are not wrong on either. This is exactly how a dictatorship begins. I only hope that the American public can see this for what it is. But I doubt it. Literacy is not a strong point.
I’m still hoping that James Bond like character from the British government will take him out for us, but that might just be because I’m in the middle of a James Bond movie marathon
And there’s nothing wrong with that. Enjoy.
The Iranians wanted to kill him for murdering their general but were waiting on him to lose the election so security would lapse.
Figures.
Well, the British did burn Washington DC once before 🤷♀️
I hope it’s Idris Elba. Dude was born to be the next Bond, maybe that’s the real reason he couldn’t.
The issue is I think enough of us want that. A “benevolent” dictator. They are already too lost and I think the only possible education will be difficult, painful, and generational in length.
My evaluation is that a small percentage of Americans want a dictatorship, and a large percentage don’t but are not aware that the steps are being taken, because they think that the institutions of their government are immutable.
They pronounce “Woke” with the hard R
Donald Trump has no fucking clue what is going on other than what is being whispered in his ear by the people who are orchastrating this whole thing.
Exactly why I keep saying in other threads that this problem doesn’t die with Trump. The damage is done, and the whisperers just need a new puppet once Trump kicks the bucket.
DUH
THESE ARE ALL IMPEACHABLE OFFENSES!
Congress needs to step up and keep filing articles of impeachment. Get the republicans on record defending every criminal act, and then beat them in the midterms.
Congress is controlled by the same party as the president. Why the fuck would they even introduce impeachment articles?
The only way out of this is through means that cannot be mentioned due to this .world instance rules.
At the very least to signal that they think it is wrong. To make the Republicans go on record saying they condone it.
And not only that, make everything they are doing in Congress just that much harder. Those small sabotage of the other harmful work they are doing.
Impeachment? Midterms? Those words are meaningless now. The system has been broken and dismantled. You can’t vote your way out of fascism. The fight needs to be fought on every front, including those ones, but they will not save you.
The only way out is for the population to rise up in mass protest.
I think well get 4 impeachments for Trump over his next 8 years in office. They’ll probably all fail
That’s nice, we can set it beside the “Thursday night massacre” of the DoJ that happened last week. Only slightly higher, so we get a nice two-level effect with a path going down the middle and HOLY FUCKING SHITBALLS WHY AREN’T THERE MILLIONS OF US RIOTING IN THE STREETS RIGHT NOW‽‽
About 97% of my coworkers have no idea any of this is even happening. I’d imagine the majority of the US public has no clue what is happening.
Because Muricans are sheep dressed in chicken hawk costumes
You know why we aren’t rioting…
Well, my algorithm says everything is peachy
need a leader
Would be helpful to people who currently don’t know, and to people in the future, if you link to the Thursday night massacre of the doj, Google only showed me articles talking about the Friday one

How dare he be black.
Instead of giving no answer they literally said they’re getting rid of him because diversity is bad. They were talking about diversity programs he implemented but it’s pretty damn clear.
Funny (not really) story- I worked extensively with an incel alt right piece of shit about five or six years ago. During one conversation early on, he said “…diversity, but like the good kind.” I said what kind of diversity could be bad? He did not answer. He assumed since I am white in appearance I would understand.
Climate? Ban. Diversity? Ban.
Lol, the list of banned words and phrases is about 100 words longer than that.
The word “Women” is on that list at the bottom…women exist. I have proof.
Also, if you have a list that long, it doesn’t mean you are powerful enough to ban words, it means you are dumb enough to WANT to stay uneducated.
They exist, you just can’t talk about them existing.
My favorite is “inclusive” which is a preposition.
How many legal filings with “inclusive of _____” are there? Thousands? Hundreds of thousands? All forbidden
We’re gonna start seeing social media style workarounds. Show me papers on wmen and mnor*ties
Bias. We’re not allowed to use the word “bias”
wtf
…argued that he was too “woke” and too concerned with diversity in the armed forces.
Soooo… that’s exactly what the world needs:
A military comprised of American klansmen, hell bent on purifying the bloodlines of every country they set a jackbooted foot in.
Americans can’t take a day off to protest.
Oh, this will surely end well.
