Unless you're a cis straight white man...
They hate their own followers just as much as anybody else. Anybody who thinks the leopards won't eat their faces is delusional.

A conservative Christian straight white man. Everyone else is at risk
A rich conservative Christian straight white man. But rich enough that if you have any health issues, you can afford them.

I tried to pull the lever but lost to all the people pulling the other way.
It wasn't even exactly that. It was MILLIONS of people who voted Democrat previously just sitting this one out. I don't think there are 15 Million "Gaza or bust" voters so this was just pure ignorance...
"Trump is horrible, but the Democrats made inflation. I'm not voting for either." (Conveniently forgetting COVID and the necessary cash injection that helped keep people paying bills on time and kept businesses afloat to be there to rehire when lockdowns ended.) Ignorance...
Not that it was perfectly executed by any stretch of the imagination, but the alternative was everyone "non-essential" goes broke and businesses everywhere collapse. There was no world where we just didn't do lockdowns, we don't have the luxury of hindsight when something new happens obviously. We probably didn't need the lockdowns because COVID spread regardless :(
Hey now, you cannot blame voters. Only rage into the void about Democrats, that's the only thing that can help. I mean it clearly worked before, right!? /s

Down the street, a guy’s house burned down. Of course, we all blame him for it - and his failure to find a message that resonated with the firefighters, to motivate them to come save the building.

I believe there were 15 million "oh look, Harris is besties with Liz Cheney and continuing the half assed approach that Dems keep doing so who fucking cares' people. I totally see why her poll numbers kept dropping over the course of her campaign after a strong start.
I still voted for her, but at that point is was just another vote against Republicans.
I think that takes more thought than even those who vote with us do. I think we seriously overestimate the political intelligence of the people in this country. Not to say 0% were those people, but if we're talking millions I think we're talking about typical ignorance.
I think the vast majority vote D for social issues, but once their pocketbook gets hurt it's time to sit it out or worse "punish" the party in power by voting for the opposition. :(

Maybe the world where Trump implemented the pandemic response plan that Obama left for him. But, no, we got Mr. Inject-Bleach-And-Shove-A-Lightbulb-Up-Your-Ass.
And-Shove-A-Lightbulb-Up-Your-Ass.
At least then they could say they had a bright idea!
...I'll see myself out.
Hey, so the 15 million thing isn't true. That was the number before all of the votes came in. She actually gained votes in battleground states, but lost them in non-battleground states (states that didn't really matter). Just a heads up. We need to be using facts here (not trying to attack, just trying to get that information out).

If you are from the US and you criticized people living under authoritarian regimes for not rioting hard enough, this is your time.
You still have it easy. You won't be taken into prison for standing with a piece of blank paper. You won't be beaten with batons and taken into custody for reciting Constitution. Yet. Go ahead before it gets there, and may you never see a true authoritarian horror.
Otherwise, all your words are not worth a dime.

Organize. Sabotage. General strike. Protest. Political action isn't one day every four years.
Yup. Robert Reich posted something that ended with "Take a moment to breathe, then let the resistance begin."
And like, buddy, I'm sorry to say, if your resistance is only just beginning, then you are resisting the wrong thing and you will be ineffective. You should be fighting the entire empire, not just the unmasked pieces of it.
The election is your chance to ask for your preferred enemy, but if you don't get it, your job doesn't change.
I wonder how many fellow lefties work for Xitler's empire who are planning sabotage ops. As long as the payload wasn't humans, watching a SpaceX rocket spectacularly fail would put a smile on my face, knowing that silent resistance is in motion
Turn that bolt just a few degrees to the wrong direction
Syntax errors? WOMM
LFG, burn this mother fuckers scam empire to the ground
We'll make it to Mars on our terms, once we have a home to return to

Might be a lot smaller than a lever, but if you are a republican don't stand there empty handed. Grab your dick and start jerking that puppy. This is what you always wanted you dumb sick fuck.
Yep. I'm focused on looking after my community/friends who have targets on their back now.
Other than that I look to republicans and say "alright, this is all you now. Better be perfect!" They shouted and screeched that their way was best. Their god is in the seat. Time to deliver a "great economy"
If my stupid family members is any indication, by "great economy" they mean they got one or two paychecks in the mail during Covid: "He made me rich!" Yes he did, you minimum wage slave.

I mean you could also take the "don't buy from US based corporations for 1 year challenge" starting january 1st 2025. Stock up on any corporate goods you need now then buy nothing for a year.
The pandemic market rallied because of a bailout after consumer spending plummeted. Would be a shame if the same thing happened and suddenly there was no emergency for a bailout to sail under.
They won't have time and energy for persecuting people if the economy is broken.
Record/pirate a bunch of movies/shows then cancel streaming for a year. Buy any electronics now before the tariffs start. Buy surplus canned food etc. Then see how little you can spend the entire year of 2025. Planning on doing tourist stuff inside the US? Don't. If you work at a big corporation consider deleting an important email and see what happens.
Lets fuck around.

Except those people tied themselves to the track and started the train themselves... Completely voluntarily.
Unfortunately not true, a lot of people who didn't vote for Neofascism will also suffer.

As a non-american, yup...
You can yell at the train driver, you can make a team to stop the train, you can start building a new track, you can become a train driver yourself.
