Term 2 coming up.
“This was written a year after 45 was elected. It is chilling how accurately it describes what has and is happening. So many of us are exhausted, demoralized or depressed. We take inspiration from movements around the world rising up and I wonder what will it take for us to rise as well.
Can we re-member our power? Can we re-member what is sacred - the earth, the water, the animals, the plants, the children, our families and our friends? Can we re-member our hearts?
Will we rise to protect what we love?
While US democracy has always been rigged, true democracy is worthy of a fight. I fear for our future and as Star Hawk wrote, where there is fear, there is power.
Let us act with courage despite our fear. Let us act like our future depended on it. Let us join together now in fierce loving resistance to shut down this authoritarian, oligarchic regime that is destroying our dreams and our future. They will only succeed if we let them. This is not easy.
We may or may not succeed but I believe we must try and keep trying. I went to DC in November calling for Trumps removal. We were small in numbers but tens of thousands cheered us on. Join the many going back to DC with friends starting on January 6 to remove Trump.
We do not really want your cheers. We want your body right there along side of ours as we fight for our lives

Increasingly a Necessity: A 15-Point Guide to Surviving Authoritarianism
Rule #1: Always think critically and fight ignorance with facts.
1. They will come to power with a campaign based on fear, scaremongering and distorting the truth. Nevertheless, their victory will be achieved through a democratic electoral process. But beware, as this will be their argument every time you question the legitimacy of their actions. They will claim a mandate from the People to change the system.
Remember — gaining power through a democratic system does not give them permission to cross legal boundaries and undermine said democracy.
2. They will divide and rule. Their strength lies in unity, in one voice and one ideology, and so should yours. They will call their supporters patriots, the only “true Americans.” You will be labelled as traitors, enemies of the state, unpatriotic, the corrupt elite, the old regime trying to regain power. Their supporters will be the “people,” the “sovereign” who chose their leaders.
Don’t let them divide you — remember you’re one people, one nation, with one common good.
3. Through convoluted laws and threats they will try to control mainstream media and limit press freedom. They will ban critical press from their briefings, calling them “liars,” “fake news.” They will brand those media as “unpatriotic,” acting against the People (see point 2).
Fight for every media outlet, every journalist that is being banned, censored, sacked or labelled an “enemy of the state” — there’s no hope for freedom where there is no free press.
4. They will create chaos, maintain a constant sense of conflict and danger. It will be their argument to enact new authoritarian laws, each one further limiting your freedoms and civil liberties. They will disguise them as being for your protection, for the good of the people.
See through the chaos, the fake danger; expose it before you wake up in a totalitarian, fascist state.

Did you check how many threads about Trump have been started?
The forum stops counting at 500.....probably well over a thousand!

Prog shit. Trump is far brighter than BHO, fake news has always been around, just now there is someone calling it out.
Yet he’s negotiated many trade deals, his policies have unfettered the US economy, US embassy moved to Jerusalem fulfilling a long held US promise, has not started any wars, improved the US military strength...
