This ends USA, full stop. Not this particular executive order, but his orders in general. It's been half a year and that orange turd has completely overtaken USA legislative branch with this "economic emergency", while bobbleheads in the Congress just signed it away voluntarily. And now he is taking preliminary shots at the judicial branch, trying to eradicate judges who aren't bending the knee. All the while testing through his minions if it would be possible to tear down constitution too and remain in power permanently.

It may be that the Americans don't like what the USA has turned into and want it to end.

It looks like they're going to get their way, to everyone except the rich's detriment.

[mathiaspoint]

See I think part of the problem is people keep complaining about "the rich" and then propose and implement policies that go after normal middle class Americans instead. A few decades of this and you have a social norm that flat out doesn't work for normal people so they just start torching things.

[ryandrake]

Totally agree, except nobody is torching things yet. This administration's blatant attack on the middle class in favor of the rich should have people rioting.

Trump governs literally as any corrupt leader in any poor country does since ages: he feeds the people with cheap, superficial lies that they like to hear (we call it, he lets them suck a pacifier) while secretly stuffing his mates with money and power.

But that happens in unprecedented amounts in a developed and organised country, maybe soon developing...

What can we do about it?

[doublerabbit]

General Strike.

If everyone tomorrow just stopped working around the world, that would paint a pretty picture.

Strike in the Washington DC where people would not go home in the evening. Put up tents, tires, pavement and keep striking until it works. Also pick up 1 single most important item. Not Epstein, however satisfying that is to throw at MAGA their own comments. I think so called "economic emergency" which in completely unconstitutional should be such a topic and strike should continue until it is repelled. Secondary topic I think should be unconstitutional measure by the Congress, which they adopted in spring and which essentially blocks congressmen from voting on this so called "emergency". That shit how whole 2025 year is a single day, or whatever they have invented.

That is the only only way to stop dictatorship while it is still possible.

"If everyone just" isn't ever a real solution.
