Simultaneous purging of the chief generals of all three branches.
They are ensuring the military has no cohesiveness to stage a future coup against the Executive Branch, and are replacing all control with their own loyalists.

This shit is moving so fast. And any pushback initiative to the insanity moves so slow. I hope there will be real elections again in a few years, but it feels like game-over tbh
This is game over. They control the information flow and narrative. They have control of all branches of government. They will be able to do whatever they want because the people in charge of telling you something is wrong are all compromised. Nobody will be able to organize and even if they could, they would be instantly crushed with violent force and the ones who are supposed to stop that violent force will the ones doing it and nobody will bat an eye because half your country is fucking insane. And I doubt your country will be stopped by any other country because you are the most militarily powerful country on earth and the only competitors to you on earth are China and Russia, both of which benefit from this whole thing. It’s too late. We are totally fucked unless you guys have a civil war like, tomorrow.
Yeah, people abroad are wondering why Americans won’t just stand up, but the reality is that the country is massive and you need an incredible organizing effort to offer any real, organized resistance.
And sure, some groups have tried, but you really need your opposition party, or some kind of major celebrity, or someone else with major reach to organize something that reaches every American and pulls them together to action.
And that just hasn’t happened. Some people have spoken out, but nobody has been willing to lead that next step and really lead a movement. Words aren’t gonna be enough to counter this.
I’m hoping that blue states file state level treason charges for Trump, and every one of his appointees and co-conspirators, and begins to use the national guard and special task forces to find and capture them. If anything, wait until they are already in the state, then announce charges, and surround them before they can leave.
Also, make sure to look at the list of the biggest personal donors to the Trump campaign. Many of them probably live around you, and they paved the way for this bullshit
That’s no problem.
The protests that brought down East Germany weren’t that much organized at first. People went to the street every monday and that was it. Internet and instant messenger didn’t exist back then. Most didn’t even had a telephone at home and TV was censored by the state.
Children were pretty successful too. The whole worldwide protest grew from a single child.
The USA is big, yes, but the population live in the cities not in between them.
Now you know what to do:
Pick a day and go protest every week on that day in your city. Politics eventually will feel the pressure.
I don’t disagree that it could work, but I’m also not sure it’s that simple either.
There’s a big difference in trying to get people to protest for the threat that is over the horizon than the one in power for 40 years. People just aren’t good at conceptualizing the weight of that future pain against what they currently stand to lose.
And they could lose a lot - their job first, which also means their house and their health insurance. Not to mention plenty of laws criminalizing most protest already, where you are bound to be caught on camera or via other digital surveillance, and a single arrest on your permanent record means no future employment, and missed payments on your credit history means no future economic prospects.
And believe me I know the risk of that is worth it, and the risks you’d have in the future are even worse, but most people in the country still aren’t ready to make that trade - hell, most still deny the direction things are headed.
It’s astounding you aren’t already rioting! People in my country would tar and feder the guy who’s responsible for that or anyone who doesn’t want to change that.
ITT: Europeans thinking they know what a big country is.
Some of us are a 2 hour drive from a small city, 4 from a big one. My state capital building is almost 3 hours from me.
A generation from now, they’ll ask you why you didn’t help stop fascism and your reply with be “well grandson, it was a 3 hour drive”? That’s your excuse?
This isn’t going to be easy! You can’t fight fascism from your couch. You have to do something to stop it. And right now all it’ll take is driving 3 hours. That won’t always be the case as they solidify their power and crack down on dissent. And you’ll sit there as the brownshirts drag people out of their homes and wish all you had to do was drive 3 hours.
It’s the same strategy used by Hitler and the nazis to seize control of Germany. They initially only got control of some of the smaller, “less important” government departments. And then they just started drastically expanding the reach of existing departments, declaring themselves to be in charge of other departments, consolidating loyalists, etc…
The idea is that by the time opponents have time to push back, you have already seized control and are already ousting them. Court battles take months or years, but the takeover was done in a few days.
