We are already an authoritarian country. We’re not working to prevent it; we’re now working…to get out of it.

In the last TWO years america has sent $22 BILLION dollars of military equipment to israel. 60,000 Palestine people murdered. So the american people are paying approximately $367,000 per Palestinian death.

My Individible group is working hard to keep the momentum up. But it’s not easy to get folks to come out and protest consistently or write postcards or volunteer to be legal observers at ICE raids. I’m doing my best to not lose sight & keep going during this difficult time.
-
Maybe in the early stages, nonetheless we have seen enough, to allow its destruction to progress! The resistance/fight is on!
-
No we're not, it's only getting worse
-
It has only been 197 days! Imagine 4 years?! 😳 LFG!!!
-
Not enough people realize this. Most people still think we're going to vote our way out of this.
-
True.
-
Reminded of Mitch McConnell holding one Supreme Court seat and then fast tracking the next. One of many important turning points towards our authoritarian takeover.
-
Exactly! People need to WAKE THE HELL up to the TRUTH of what has HAPPENED to THIS Country in less than a YEAR of that POS!🤬
-
Just gotta say…
-
Yes sir
-
Dinner with Andre has begun.
-
NEVER, that pig has never succeeded at anything. he is brain dead now. If we cannot defeat an idiot moron on his death bed then that's on us.
-
Absolutely.
-
I wish the Dems would start really focusing on getting all voters motivated to pay attention to politics and to contact their representative as constituents and really complain about the Reps complicity with tRump. Apathy is a big part of why we are in the huge mess we are now dealing with.
-
Every day we are sinking deeper into the abyss...
-
Do it...
-
anything worth having is worth fighting for
-
Excellent point!
-
Not much to look forward to in this country.
-
Sadly true 😥😥😥
-
This is the sad damn truth. The hits just keep coming and yet I look around me and see complacency. Everywhere - complacency. I bought some chalk the other day. I'm thinking of writing some sidewalk messages. Freedom of speech - amirite?!
-
If anyone doubts we’re “already authoritarian” take a listen to Maddow’s Monday evening recap: youtu.be/VQbDgOaOh4c?...
-
Truth!!!!
-
👆💯
-
Very many of us worked very hard to prevent it. We did all we could.
Many more of us will work to get out of it.
Count on it.
Fascism always loses.

WHY is OUR Military joining ranks with the Trump Fascist Regime?.... WHY???... They are supposed to be FIGHTING Against FASCISM "NOT" Supporting it!... They need to change teams NOW and go against these Dirty Ass PEDO Fascists!... ENOUGH!! 😡🪖😡🪖😡🪖
-
makes you wonder why on earth we should pay federal taxes to a govt that openly wants to destroy everyone who is not filthy rich. no services? no taxes. Destroying our planet? no taxes. Making life literally harder for everyone? no taxes.
-
Exactly

True words

Might have a hard time doing that unless the chair you're sitting on has wheels

Jack, can we get a movement going to glorify the CONSTITUTION, the document Start printing it in big bold letters with graphics Make it a dazzling curiosity for the “shiney object” crowd Most people have no clue what’s in it
-
I do hope all the former Attorney Generals will unite and do something about it!!!
-
Why are people so afraid of this old, senile, demented so-called person? I don't get it, seriously. Just look at him.
-
True! Why did the Dems let this happen? I know they are not in control right now but they just went on vacation for the first 6 months.
-
The financial bankruptcy will be the catalyst for restructuring our society
-
What do you recommend that we do?
-
Too many people thinking their phones are the revolution. 🤦🏻♀️ It’s gonna take a lot more than occasional protests in the street, I’m afraid.
-
If the Founders were alive today they would call this a #TyrannicalRegime. That's why it's vital that we call it just that.
Maga doesn't know they've been fooled yet. They don't know they've been fooled by traitors to the flag. When they do they'll be very upset.
-
Burn it all down. Anyone that survives has to crawl through molten lava and ashes… Maybe then they deserve a seat at the table.
-
Dumbass fucking politicians fucked around and now Americans need to end this administration's crime wave and kick every one of these fucking politicians out of office and into prison. It's truly pathetic. Not a single one of them was brave enough to defend the constitution and protect America.
-
Fucking spitting truth
-
It’s been here for 4 decades. Welcome to the struggle.
-
Half of the country is still unaware of the reality.
-
But then go back to what because the system is broken.
-
Too bad more ppl don't understand that.
I've been saying for a while that separation of powers is gone. Can't have democracy w/o it. And that's not the only indicator that democracy is gone. There are many other indicators staring us in the face.
-
Fuck this evil bastard. Strong push on a very short pier.
-
Exactly right. Our Democracy died so now we fight to get it back. We are in a civil war and we do not give up. Ever.

If they wanted to prevent it they should have READ Project 2025 BEFORE the election and then voted for Harris!
-
God help us
-
Indeed. The window of opportunity to prevent authoritarian rule passed some time ago.
-
Yup. And we need to pull out all the stops now- that includes Blue states re-districting to take back seats for Dems. We MUST win the House!!
-
One thing that I’ve learned the past 10 years is that some people are really slow at seeing the big picture.Another thing I have learned, is that some people don’t listen to good advice. It’s unfortunate & terribly annoying.

I have room for a brunette around 63 who would like to move in Canada. Must like dogs, music, cannabis and camping. I'll cook. Dial....

But are we really working on how to get out of it???

seems like, sooner or later, we have to march on DC in massive numbers. they won't just walk away

Wake up folks! The time is now.

Facts!
-
This was ushered in by the electorate. I wasn't around for Nixon, but living through traitor Reagan and the debacle of 2000, I gave up on the people of this country. They also sat out 2010 and didn't give Obama a legislative branch that could really change things.
-
Agree!
-
Complete right!
-
Rachel Maddow is laying it out plainly.
-
And people are unaware we're in it!!
I talk to sooo many folks & shit hasn't hit their lifestyles. A good 5 minute conversation about the Epstein files turns to authoritarian dialogue. We need to talk to everyone while you're out & about.
Wake them the FUCK UP, cuz Facism is real & it's here.🤬

Why do I have recurring visions of Mussolini hanging upside down?

To get out of this there’s the Ghandi/MLK approach and then there’s the…well, I’m not really sure 🤔.
-
Even if Texas backs off we need to draw them out of CA for a few years. Let them see what we can do.
-
If this is working to get out of it we are in trouble.
-
Protesters are outside Los Angeles downtown detention center 24 hrs. , documenting all the people being brought to facility in chains, loaded into white vans shouting to them in Spanish “we are with you my people! Tell us your names!” Are being injured by DHS/LAPD & other Calif police depts.
-
And Lord willing we will succeed.
-
If you want an idea of proper resistance then I advise you to find a Ukrainian.
-
I'm glad America has finally noticed what it has become. The rest of the planet realised some months ago
-
Remember this? The Heritage Foundation is getting their bloodless 2nd American Revolution. So far “the left” is “allowing it.” We aren’t anywhere close to violence. We haven’t even done non-violent resistance, at least not with any coherent national leadership. We need patriots to step up already!
-
Where are our leaders?
-
💯
-
Exactly
-
💯 % truth
-
🎯
-
Honestly, I only see Texas and parts of California doing any work. The rest are still sitting on their asses, hoping "someone does something."
-
That is a lot harder than preventing it unfortunately.
-
Jack! You’re giving up the fight? Is it really too late!
-
We are now governed by the AFP (American Fascist Party).
-
One percenters need to pay with their lives.
-
-
you know, to be honest, we are not working hard on that at all.
we are working on how to sail through it and are hoping it'll die off. that's not their plan, dictators grab force and change laws so they become irremovable... and after a couple of decades of misery, they are removed by force...
-
It’s our turn America!
-
Political revolution is the first step.
-
It was always going to be this way. This is where capitalism leads us. The only thing to do now is follow the example of our good Chinese friends who have a thriving socialist country. We can live in a real country that puts citizens first and uplifts the working class.
-
-
DUH. Billionaire takeover, check; suppress people until they REVOLT - pending. Rinse and repeat. This stupid shit we do over and again, is getting not only boring but apocalyptic. Like, constraint the addicted to taking everything people so they don't kill us with their addiction to having more.
-
Truth
-
Maybe people should study what happens to the people in authoritarian regimes. It’s just started there and so most people are going about their lives thinking it will pass. I travel to the US every year and I saw no change this year. I think even your politicians know little about other countries.
-
Thank you for not mincing words Jack. This is where we are, and now we have a long battle to fight to get back our democracy.
-
We're not even working that hard at that either. People seem to enjoy their shackles.
-
We're still near the entrance of a deep, dark cavern. I hope we can turn it around.
-
We've arrived.
-
yep.
-
Unfortunately yes. Keep fighting.
-
The USA needs a modern day revolution and blue states should be holding back your federal tax dollars from Washington. Hit them where it hurts, money talks. Get Trump and the GOP off the books and out of the oval office
-
And hopefully it's not too late!
-
That's kind of how it had to go down.
-
-
Absolutely accurate and correct. People keep waiting too long to act. The more Americans wait, the harder and bloodier it is to fix.
-
Quite honestly, most of your country is doing nothing to get out of it.
-
-
Maddow said this last night.
-
Absolutely correct
-
It’s like screaming into the he Grand Canyon
-
-
-
Grass roots ‘real independents’ & brave bold democrats need to combine now!!
-
To go where? The entire West is being overrun by the 3rd world rn. If you like America you need to defend it from outsiders
-
They're rushing because they know that if they lose the midterms Congress will take back the power of the purse and with control of both houses trump will finally be held accountable and removed from office. Pushback. Containment. Voting Rights.

Is he dead yet 🤦♀️

So true.

-
Trump is a sick, malicious man and somehow got other sick, malicious people to follow him. The Republican Party is a Nazi replica. They love themselves but not our Democracy.
-
The real fight now is how to reclaim our freedom before it’s too late. We’ve crossed the line. Now it’s about reversing course—fast.
-
For starters Trump and Miller must be stopped
-
Yup. With no help from craven SCOTUS.
-
👍
-
Scary and hellish. Stay strong, peeps.
-
True 👆🏼 Very True
-
It disgusts me to see news worrying we might become authoritarian. I got suspended from my job in 2017 for staying that’s where we were headed. Yeah, they’re been silencing academics ferociously since 2015.

You WERE already an authoritarian country 😆 I swear, the amount of dumb Yanks who keep pretending that their fascist shithole was all great before is EXACTLY the reason they are now working together to create the 4th Reich, straight up

Where are John Kelly, Milly, Mattis, McMaster, Esper, Stanley McChrystal , Mullen, and Stavridis? Why are they not being more vocal?

👍💯💯
-
I think it's essential for each of us to identify how we can best make a meaningful impact in the struggle for our democracy and our liberties.
And then give it our all.
-
Bingo💯💔
-
Yep, and it's really going to be a struggle because half of us don't have a clue what that even means. That's what the tangerine turd is counting on, that there are more people dumber than him.
-
First, we should be demanding a non-partisan balance on the US Supreme Court. Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh need to be impeached. We deserve to know who paid off Kavanaugh's debts prior to his appointment. Were it not for their corruption and fascist rulings, we wouldn't be so far down this road.
-
Precisely.
-
Given the current emergency situation, we must keep our comments brief and focused. We kindly request that you and anyone who sees this share our post on our page. We are struggling with fundraising and are now confronted with an urgent need to ensure the safety of trans women.
-
It will be the power of the people that will make the difference. Dems need to harness this power by pushing for Americans to be more Democratic, give people more say in the gov, federal referendums, and get the main problem out of politics - money! They need to start thinking outside the box.
-
Truth.
-
Getting rid of is much simpler than stopping.
-
My estimate: 10 years.
-
👇👇👇
We have a consolidating dictatorship in our Country ❗❗❗
-
💯% on 🎯
And it's about time media starts calling it the way it is like Rachel Maddow.
We Have AN Authoritarian Regime in power NOW ❗❗❗
-
Cue the "Oh, p'shaw" brigade.
-
I hate this, but honestly if dems would of demanded hand recounts in swing states we might not be here. But, we are so where is our leaders to help us remove this tyrant?
-
We cycle back and forth. There were the British authoritarians we revolted against. There were the authoritarian slave lords, who started a civil war. There were the bankers, who planned the failed coup to stop FDR’s New Deal.

🫵👊💪❤️🇩🇰✌️

This 👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆

Exactly.

True. The coup is complete.

True. We are 1950-60 Argentina.

Texas Democrats decamp to Illinois to deny Republicans a quorum on redistricting
In response, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott threatened to try to remove the Democrats from the state Legislature and said some of them may even be "felons."
-
Man I was just thinking this exact thing, word for word...
-
-
Sadly, it is true
-
Any system—regardless of whether it calls itself a democracy, republic, socialism, capitalism, monarchy, or otherwise—that has an elite class, whether overt or hidden, will inevitably reproduce inequality, control, and disempowerment for the majority.
-
Exactly
-
We have already lost our democracy. We’re trying to get it back.
We are already under a dictatorship. We’re trying to get out of it.
I know the people are trying… what is Congress doing to change this?
-
Oh, don't be mistaken. Authoritarianism isn't either or. It can always get worse.
-
Yes, since “Day One,” as someone said. But we didn’t believe it. So here we are.
Finally Dem leadership seems to be getting the idea. Will it be enough? Probably not.
We now have General McClellan. We need General Grant. Take no prisoners.
-
Yep. It happened very hard and fast.
-
That's right 👍
-
Facts..
-
I didn’t realize that democracy was so fragile. Other countries are seeing this and will grab the playbook.
-
💯 correct
-
Tell me what to do, let’s go!
-
Always has been.
-
and we can't wait 20 years like Hungary did. We must stop this as fast as possible.
-
-
Our last. best hope: 2026 midterms. GET OUT OUR VOTE. 🦋

Rachel Maddow and Gov Hochul are saying that right now.

A lot of folks had better work a whole lot harder, and faster, because maga is entrenching more with every passing day.

From the day Doge seized the coffers (a while back)

It should involve military

Everyone keeps saying that. What would prevention or getting out of it look like for you?
-
I wish more people understood this.
-
Or maybe working to get ahead of it?
