America is scary

They want people to be scared and not fight back. We have strength in numbers and they know it.

Nice one. When's the actual fighting back going to happen?

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Depends on your definition of fighting back.

Soon as people sign up for the general strike which is part of the protests. Will you stand with us?

Based on the upvote ratio of this very legitimate question, a majority of USA-landers who want to live in a country with a stupid second amendment, are actually too chicken to use the provisions it provides.

Gotta get people away from Zuck, Bezos, and Musk and whatever that Reddit guy is named.

There are several countries actively boycotting American products and doing what they can to harm the American economy to a sufficient degree that Trump's finance-bro supporters turn against him.

On the other hand, if you're wondering when the American left will start fighting back, the answer is never. We're talking about the American left, after all.
