The good news is that it usually doesn’t end well for Kings/Queens/Emperors/Pharaohs/Dictators/Oligarchs who hoard too many riches, and don’t care about the welfare of the common people.
History is on our side.

But it takes hundreds of years.
-
How long is history?
-
Yes, the French killed there Royalty, which led to citizenship, of which you all enjoy in the US to this very day. The Statue of Liberty comes proof of a history you all seem to have forgotten. "Blood is freedom's stain".
-
-
Especially against 370 million people and the world.
-
Unless you are among the millions who died. This won’t end well for anyone.
-
Excuse me? In America, they get statues and and their faces sculpted into stolen land.
-
we can be on our side: free, doesn't take much time, easy to do, you can resist from Home.. bsky.app/profile/ogre...

Sure though it sometimes takes hundreds of years to boot them out… i mean Egypt had pharaohs for over three thousand years…

Right... AMERICA WILL NOT LET THIS STAND FOR MUCH LONGER... POLLS ARE DROPPING EVERY SINGLE DAY!
-
The above is a victim narrative.
Hoping/coping that our past will be our future is allowing and enabling the abusers to continue exploiting.
We are responsible for letting the addicts run the asylum. We could stop projecting blame and take some.
We could #Unite

The question is, do 50 million people have to die?
-
Could we please speed up history....please?
-
-
Love the optimism but if you think freedom of thought and action is anywhere near the norm for human history you are sadly mistaken
-
Trouble is that in the long run we are all dead.
-
Let's hope.
-
The bad news is that it usually takes a lot of people being killed. History is on our side.
-
We need to take a page out of French history when their upper class got way too greedy, similar to what's now happening here. They got their heads cut off. Sounds good to me.
-
Ummm, I don’t know, I’m over 65 I may die before karma arrives!
-
I have accepted that I won’t get to see a freely democratic America again in my lifetime, but that doesn’t mean future generations don’t deserve one.
-
You're absolutely correct; but we the people always pay a terrible price...for decades👽
-
Yes, maybe Americans should do it the French way.
-
Yes these people fall hard and often in unpleasant ways but the damage they do before that happens can be catastrophic. I would argue it has already been catastrophic in ways that may not be evident right away. The sad thing is we live in a country with a constitution that should have prevented this
-
But how long?
-
Then it is time for history to land with a thud….
-
-
There’s a positive ⭐️🇺🇸⭐️
-
chill.
Pol Pot only lasted 4 years- what could go wrong?
-
I wish history would hurry the fuck up then.
-
If we fight! But we aren’t….
-
Things look bleak. This is hard. All of that is true. But it's also true that we are on the right side of history and what we're fighting for is WORTH fighting for. If you feel discouraged, take some time away from the fray, refuel, and come back stronger. We can do this!
-
-
Also TIME is on our side. Chanting for SWIFT JUSTICE for all these lawless politicians. Justice not meted out by frail men, but justice dispensed by heavenly intervention or whatever cosmic force equalizes the imbalances of power.
-
I think about this all the time. One day...
-
Too many powerful dictators have died in their sin.
-
But only if we #RiseUp
-
Yeah. But look what the world has had to go through to get the part where it doesn't end well. We need to avoid that and depose them before it gets any worse.
-
-
The bad news is they can gonfpr decade before things fall apart for them, and usually long after things fell apart for everyone else. Nonetheless, we gotta try.
-
and we're gonna need it.
-
The bad news is that many people die first.
-
Yes but how much longer will it take?
-
Let’s hope so.
-
That is true.
-
I hope so
-
Gonna be a rough ride but I’m in
-
Only if we are also prepared to be on our side. We are the ones that we’ve been waiting for… youtu.be/UHsJHZpOJCc?...

-
Best to keep fighting.
-
A certain Tsar and his family come to mind
-
We're going to go through some bullshit before that though.
-
There are too many living examples who prove you wrong... but in general, you are right...
-
-
I'm keeping a bucket of lamb's blood in the freezer, so when the first born sons of all the Republicans start dropping like flies, my family will be safe..
-
We already know what we will have to do but not enough are yet committed to the action IMO.
-
We need to get off our asses then!
-
But they do so much damage before they go down.

🙏🤞

The dickhead muthafacka dictators of the past didn’t have AI & climate change tho…..we will either beat the fascists again…or die prematurely while trying.
-
My patience.
-
It certainly didn't end well in France
-
Target billionaires funding the never ending stream of corruption - they will buy another Trump if allowed.

Revolution, war, famine - those are what ended previous bad leaders. Which will it be?

Unfortunately, they tend to be followed by a few more or less successful bastards until the mess they caused gets sorted out.
-
Except it's only recent history where Authoritarians had this much firepower and technological expertise on their side. We really don't know how this will turnout yet. We have to be out there.
-
But it takes generations to get rid of them
-
-
What history also shows is that the road back to “normalcy” will take generations for many areas and perhaps never in some areas.
-
History is long
-
I am too old to wait this one out
-
But the K/Q/E/P/D/O who really don’t care, get extremely brutal to hang on to their riches. That keeps me up at night….
-
-
Hard agree. The collateral damage in disposing of these creatures is huge, however.
It's still fun to imagine suitable ends for the twats though.
I'm going for "Boats"
-
Takes a while sadly and in the interim, thousands, if not millions, are hurt, killed or destroyed in some way.

My favorite dick-tator photo. Nikolai Ceaucescu rides the lightning. Bullets, actually. Yippee Ki Yay, motherfucker.
-
History might be but I’m completely OUT OF PATIENCE😡😡😡😡
-
Yeah, I have no doubt this will end badly for maga. I'm just not sure how long it will take.
-
You forgot to mention the action part.
-
Many of their regimes last for forty or fifty years or more, or devolve into civil war
-
That happens when people rise up and do what's need, do the right thing. If you are waiting for someone else to do it, you are part of the problem. Rise up.
-
Yeah?
Saddam Hussein was in power for 24 years.
Putin has been in power for 25 years.
Muammar Qaddafi was in power for 42 years.
This is optimism that doesn't take reality of the length of cruel dictatorships into account.
-
-
We ain’t got time for history.
-
And how many people are going to murdered before then?
-
I agree in theory, but there’s also an axiom that when civilizations keep burying more and more wealth with their leaders they inevitably collapse.
(I think Swiss bank accounts and yachts count as burying these days)
-
I’m gonna be fucking dead before that happens. The tide will turn on him but it’s not gonna be tomorrow.
-
Tell that to the Russians, North Koreans, etc.
-
History is on our side because there are people who have the courage to resist autocracy, and eventually people who become so desperate that they have no choice but to do so. Hoping there are enough of the former to make the change before the latter become a necessity.
-
Saddam Hussain ruled Iraq for 24 years.
-
We’re going to need better hackers. It’s all tech and we’re all pegged.

History is on our side but it sure sucks waiting for this to be over.
-
The bad news is that a lotttttt of people will get hurt in the meantime. But yes,

Men can help women for once in their life which benefits their offsprings too, with less financial burden on father, giving pregnant women voting power shifts the system to caring for the most important resource in society - women & children. If not, you have a hedonistic vulture world. #Matriarchy
-
Yeah, but global warming and genocidal wars are not. Hitler had a 12 year run. Mussolini: 21 years. Stalin: 29. Putin: 25 years. Kim Jong-il and Jong-un: 34 yrs. Pinochet: 17 yrs. Etc.
Sorry, I don't think we realize the danger we're in.
-
USA - I would say, you all need to put your tools down. Nothing happens, not even sex, until the orange turd ends up in an orange jumpsuit… or you pick up your guns and pitchforks.
-
As we watch the next few generations suffer and languish, that’s oh so comforting.
-
Unless something drastic happens soon, I don’t see it turn around in my lifetime. 😔
-
How many die or are damaged in the process though..
-
Yea, but until their demise, we all suffer greatly.
-
One can hope.
-
True but as history shows, sometimes it takes centuries for dictatorships to be toppled. I remain hopeful but am losing patience right now. Trump has destroyed so much, not sure anything will ever be the same in my lifetime.
-
Sadly, history is not on the side of the people who will die or get hurt or lose everything to get through it
-
Absolutely true.
-
It's not fast enough...
-
The bunker can’t come soon enough. I hope he takes his cabinet with him.
-
But the scorched earth will trouble people for many generations

I can assure you thats correct, but theres enough thieving, grifting Trumps, to keep the scams rolling for years. Once good old dad has that massive infark, you know, the one where a Big Mac clogs up his arteries or maybe he inhales one, and everyone just looks @ him, rubbing their hands together.
-
I take some comfort from the fact that WWII only lasted 6 years. It wasn't forever.
-
Yes, but at a massive body count.
