    Not too much can be done, since a ton of the country sat with their thumbs up their asses instead of voting. Republicans control all three branches of government now.

    In two years, after permanent damage has been done to the government, the climate, and the economy, we may have another shot at at least slowing things down via Congress IF people actually vote for sane people.

    And in four, potentially a new presidency and Congress. But that could be dicy, since there’s going to be little stopping corrupt officials from screwing with democratic safeguards now that the government is teeming with freaks and degenerates under its skin.

    Aside from lawsuits from Democrats, I think the federal government is going to be in complete freefall for the next two years, bare minimum. Thanks fascists and nonvoters. You really fucked the entire world this time. Fucking malicious idiots.

          Agitate liberals until they realize they can’t wait until the next election to act. I can’t do shit by myself, but if all the liberals who are sitting around waiting for elections realized they have to act now we’d have a chance.

            But to reiterate,

            So what’s your plan?

            You say “they have to act now” but what actions need to be taken?

            Are you saying mass protest? Armed rebellion? What are you suggesting?

              I think work stoppages and militant mass strike action would be more effective. The right cares about their bottom line. Hurt their business interests and they’ll crumble.

              The AFL-CIO should be aligning their contract dates for May 1st 2028. They should be organizing solidarity strikes and boycotts. They should recognize the NLRB is effectively dead in the water and begin planning for being made illegal. They should be arming their workers and encouraging armed picketing.

              If Democrats weren’t worthless, they’d use their close connections with the AFL-CIO to help organize. But they won’t, because that would hurt their business interests too.

              So we have to do it ourselves.

                You say the democrats are “worthless” when they were the ones that got out and voted. The far left is notorious for sitting their smug, entitled asses at home- protesting for single-issue bullshit while everyone else busts their ass to stand in the way of a dictator-

                They you have the fucking nerve to come here land lay blame at the feet of others?

                That’s some Olympic-level mental gymnastics.

                    How the fuck would I know what the plan is? Do you think there are meetings? No, unlike you, I don’t presume to know what others are thinking or planning. I came to understand and accept that I don’t get to think for others a long time ago when I decided it was time to grow up if I wanted to have mature discussions with adults.

                    I also learned to see a straw man in the process of being built. This helps to avoid having to deal with the obnoxious bullshit that is guaranteed to happen if it’s allowed to be completed.

                    TLDR:

                    Stop asking ridiculous questions that are impossible for anyone to answer so they you can follow up with some ridiculous ‘gotcha’. That shit is only impressive to people that aren’t worth impressing.
