not excusing the bullshit fecklessness of the average corporate democrat, but medicare, medicaid and social security have pretty broad support. its a component of the pushback.

at the two most recent protests I have been to, signs about this get the most interest from passers-by. jus’ sayin’.

subscribed. thanks!

opinions vary, but I dont think we are at the ammo box stage quite yet.

hero material.

my family contributes $5 monthly to the signal foundation. consider doing the same if you are able.

the entire family uses it personally and for business so its among the best montly contribs we make.

get out and make some noise. seriously - find a group (protest, town hall, whatever) and show up. repeatedly.

the wife and I are heading to another small protest in our very red town today. we have our banner, handouts and cowbells ready. going to get dirty looks (we dont give a fuck anymore) and supportive honks.

the more others see resistance, the more likely they are to agree that this is not normal.

alone you can do very little, but many yous can do a great deal.

“When USADF learned that DOGE was there to kill the agency, USADF staff refused DOGE access to cancel all grants and contracts,” read the complaint.

trump has been looking to apply the insurrection act since his first term. with the various sycophants in congress and the executive, there has never been a more opportune time (other than tomorrow, of course).

as to why… well, trump has gotten even more messianic since his first term. suppression of dissent would be a powerplay that may yield significant dividends, showing loyalists the need to stay in the camp and detractors what happens when you resist.

just my 0.02

actually, yes. I think they do.

surely only his powdered koolaid snorting base would be bamboozled by this, right? right?!

if by “taking” you mean shoving a lightbulb up the ass, then yes.

how do you know we are not living in the dregs of what science should have been?

if unwilling/unable to participate in defense, they are logistically an addition to the civilian population who are directly in harms way and must be defended, housed, fed, etc. this is just one possible issue - I am sure there are others.

…at the bottom of the hamberder trough.

side stepping my original critique, I see. bravo.

welcome to lemmy.

your orange führer would beg to differ - with every law broken and the admonisment that “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law”

2 week old account. typical hypocrite.
