Want to help? Then tuck in the outrage and learn the necessary art of *saying nothing*. We must protect communities by refusing to play along with oppression's most insidious tactic: OUR COMPLIANCE.
One time I made up a meme about cartoon chicken liberals running around the room with their heads cut off over the latest Trump transgression and was upbraided by liberal Instagram friends. On Facebook I implored them to become involved in Mutual Aid and they implored me to vote harder for Elizabeth Warren. In our community we do community defense, homeless outreach, immigration action, brakelight clinics, neighborhood meetings, and more. Thanks for this column; we need people to become radicalized and actually start doing something more than tagging #RESIST on their feed.
"Focus our attention where it can effect change NOT on the circus. "??
The dog and pony shows in the media are all you get to see, the money which accomplishes these ideological changes within the republic moves silently and unobserved.
Also worth noting: a new regime can't possibly start and implement ice cream trucks in such full force on Days 1, 2, and 3, without the help on an outgoing team that helped plan, organize and do all the "ready, set" piece, so that the new guys can walk in and simply press "go".
This is beautifully said and gives me so much more hope than I had yesterday. Taking action feels too huge because of the sheer amount of bad, but there are things we can and should be doing to protect those most at risk.
Yes. Read and watch history books, docs, and movies. See how most people worked in secret and also when in public, in uniform and not to stand out. It’s all very different from anything us Americans are used to. Being secret, not outraging our emotions for all to hear. I stopped posting online. They don’t need to put secret microphones in our houses anymore like the soviets, they just have our phones
How about rethinking some of the issues that cost the Democrats the election?
Biden was not smart enough or competent enough to resist caving to the whims of the far left wing of his party. He left the Democratic Party in shambles from which it may never recover.
If the remaining party leaders (whoever they might be) were smart (which they are not) they would look closely at at Trump’s many executive orders (EO’s) and maybe find a few popular ones that they could agree with and then use those along with the more popular positions that they currently endorse as the basis for a resurgence in 2026 and 2028.
So what’s currently in their bag that people don’t hate and what can be done with them to make them more salable to a majority.
First, a woman’s right to an abortion is popular but many believe there should be some time limit put on its availability as development proceeds from a single cell ( . ) to a 👶. So consider limiting it to the first trimester except to protect the health of the mother or when the fetus is not viable.
Second, most people are worried about climate change but the intermittent renewable energy sources located far from load centers Democrats are currently pushing will never provide reliable energy. The best long term solution is nuclear power plants located at existing coal fired plant locations that already have cooling and distribution infrastructure and are located near where electricity is needed. In the meantime we should be leading an international effort to develop geoengineering solutions to the problem because we will never reduce carbon emissions in time to stave off disaster.
Third, most people support vaccinations when their development is transparent and their use is voluntary. Use that approach to offset the current anti-vaccine rhetoric of the Republicans.
Back to Trump’s executive orders. There are three worth considering supporting.
The first of these EO’s recognizes that open borders are politically unacceptable and that the age of mass migration is over. Importing millions of people who will work for next to nothing just to be here destroys the wages of working class Americans and drives up housing costs when we can't house our own citizens. People cannot overpopulate their home country and just expect to move to greener pastures. There are no more green pastures. They need to voluntarily reduce their own country's population to an environmentally sustainable level, stay home and work there to improve their living conditions.
His second important EO addresses the insanity of gender identity which denies the reality of human sexuality and results in men invading women’s sports, restrooms, locker rooms and prisons. Women need and are entitled to privacy from men. Even more diabolical is the mutilation of innocent children (many who would grow up gay) in pursuit of the impossible because you can’t change your birth sex.
Finally his EO that corrects the craziness of DEI which discriminates against whites, Asians and men in attempting to cure past discrimination against others is absolutely the correct approach. Who could believe that creating a new privileged class and a new discriminated against class would provide a solution to the problem? Not to mention that it’s clearly unconstitutional.
Would these actions help the Democrats recover? Who knows, but absent change there is no hope for them.
A whole article about fascism without saying what it is. Fascism is a fusion of nationalism and religion. The commie republics are unable to achieve this phenomena because they don't incorporate a religious sub-ideology in their engineering.
"Nothing is as they say it is in a republic." very old quote. So what's a republic?
Can you dissect it, display it's operations and explain how it functions within this republic? If you actually know these things, then you also know it is an ideological change which doesn't occur by accident. People need to see the workings of it, not a recitation of the dog and pony shows. It wasn't accidental in the German Republic and it isn't now, this is social engineering which has taken decades to achieve.
I'll ask again: What's a republic? I'll give you a second one as well: What's the difference between a traditional republic and the "American Experiment"? You can't know what Fascism actually is unless you know the basic workings of this type of republic in particular.
Not at all, I'm assessing you, but I'll ask you one more question: Why don't you know what a republic is? You won't find information on social engineering on the internet, nor will you find the very old quote I left for you earlier. The forbidden subjects are still only to be found in books.
Why ask? You’re getting bogged in the weeds of demanding a definition, but the author has moved on to suggesting steps to take as a proactive mindset and form of action. The mansplaining, demanding tone gets you nowhere.
Definition? Not at all, I'm trying to point out what fascism is, what it's components are and what causes it, as well as the conditions it occurs under. To give a perspective of the social engineering involved. How do you "take a proactive mindset and form of action" against a social condition you don't understand?
It's not found in the commie republics, so why does fascism occur only in divided republics such as the Italian Republic, German Republic and the American Republic? I'll give you a clue: It's related to ideologies and the interaction of their sub-ideologies.
"Nothing is as they say it is in a republic." very old quote.
Can you justify your ideology? Because from a social science perspective I see liberalism as merely the flip side of the deception, it plays it's role in fascism.
In the German Republic Liberals were the last to go to the death camps, there's a reason for that.
Agreed. Many of us are doing this. We’re just quiet about it. Fuck these people.
Thank you for providing some ways to reduce harm to all of us.
You’re welcome. All small things that can have big impacts.

Your meme is spot on, Dirk! Thanks for being here with us!
You've done it again, Jo! This is really important and we can make a difference. Focus our attention where it can effect change NOT on the circus.
Yes, Micheline!

Very true, Sonali!
This is beautifully said and gives me so much more hope than I had yesterday. Taking action feels too huge because of the sheer amount of bad, but there are things we can and should be doing to protect those most at risk.
Glad it gives hope! Small things can have huge repercussions.
Excellent strategic thinking, Jo. And you’re correct about all of it. They thrive on watching us squirm.
Thank you for writing this 💯
Thank YOU for reading it!
So well said 🩷
Thanks, Jackie!
Sand in the gears….

I reckon a nation-wide work stoppage would work

I know what fascism is and name it for what it is all the time, Steve.
"I know what fascism is"??

Will I be tested and graded later, Steve?

Exactly.
"weeds of demanding a definition, "??

Steve, thank you for providing a wonderful example of the exact nonsense Jo was warning us liberals about …
"us liberals "??

In the German Republic Liberals were the last to go to the death camps, there's a reason for that.

Really? Then answer the question, why does fascism occur only in "divided republics"? Or do you dispute that America is a divided republic?
