Trumpler.
It is almost like the Orange Turd is a Nazi.
He has only been sighted reading one book:
Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler's collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler's speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.
"Did your cousin John give you the Hitler speeches?" I asked Trump.
Trump hesitated. "Who told you that?"
"I don't remember," I said.
"Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he's a Jew." ("I did give him a book about Hitler," Marty Davis said. "But it was My New Order, Hitler's speeches, not Mein Kampf. I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I'm not Jewish.")
Later, Trump returned to this subject. "If I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them."
Is Ivana trying to convince her friends and lawyer that Trump is a crypto-Nazi? Trump is no reader or history buff. Perhaps his possession of Hitler's speeches merely indicates an interest in Hitler's genius at propaganda

The playbook is there, is being followed, you people have the 2nd amendment and I have no idea why these people walk freely while you struggle to pay rent and pay your meals
When the 2nd Amendment was written, a bunch of (trained) dudes with muskets represented the pinnacle of military power (at least if there wasn't any artillery around, even back then). So the 2nd Amendment gave the people the right to possess sufficient military power to counter the federal government. Today, having a closet full of peashooters means absolutely fucking nothing to a government with armored vehicles, tanks, helicopters, airplanes, cruise missiles, drones, intercontinental missiles and nukes at their disposal. The idea that the 2nd Amendment represents an antidote to a tyrannical federal government is just as much of a fantasy for the Left as it always has been for the Right.
No one’s talking about fighting the military. You just form an armed mob like the black panthers did and scare politicians into submission lol. 330 million guns and people in this country no one needs to fire a shot at anyone.
Like Reagan made gun control laws real quick. We should learn from our own recent history
I wouldn't say "no chance". Last summer Trump was a few inches from being a chunkful of splattered History.
Of course the idea that the population could take the US military full-on is ridiculous. But resistance doesn't have to take the shape of traditional warfare, and anything would be better than the current overwhelming apathy that is the response to being governed by literal Nazis.
The regime can use drones but not the population. That's would be wrong.
Years of war history with your children being blown up in foreign countries by the poor people you invaded and you still have no idea what an IED is.
Lots of times this is brought up so I question you this. Why has no one organized cyber warfare against your regime?
Why are we in the outside world not yet supporting American revolutionists via the internet? Everyone seems to have connection. Loads have experience in IT in some way. Just Lemmy alone is full of Americans who fear bullets but own computers.
No bullets inside computers.
I'll probably get reported for inciting violence.
Why has no one organized cyber warfare against your regime?
I mean ... the US government (the NSA specifically) can basically read anybody's electronic communications and let themselves into any networked device younger than 25 years old. If there were to be any kind of successful resistance to this administration, it couldn't be "cyber" in any way.
Right so more excuses. You should deal with your dictator problem. It's affecting the world. Scared of bullets, won't even try from the couch. Your society is fucked.
If it's such an issue, travel outside the country as a citizen, you can do that...right now at least. The internet exists in all sorts of different places in the world as do partisans against American authoritarian rule.
Perhaps you were unaware.
What could you be possibly so worried about from the downfall of America? state exactly what kinda cyber war activities you think we should be doing? You just want us to go march on Washington DC with guns and start shooting at people and indiscriminately? I’m just confused why you’re so scared you’re over here trying to get us to do something about it and I’m wondering what you think we could possibly be doing right now. Like if we’re not interested in doing something for ourselves what would make you think that we would care what the fuck you think? or what consequences you face?

my God man pull it together. You fucking sound like you’re losing it. Why don’t you focus on your own problems at home. Cyber war against who, partisans fight who? Like do you have a strategy in mind or are you just full of panic and trying to insight violence.
Like seriously what country are you from so I can better understand what you’re implying we do

Don’t forget drones.
Also don’t forget the times the superior weaponry of the government was used against our own citizens. Things such as fire bombing our own city blocks or using turrets against protestors.
Are you guys really that scared of the military being used on you in the country? I’m ashamed of all of you. You sound like total cowards. It’s an irrational fear and it’s just a beacon of cowardice. nobody’s gonna drone strike your stupid little suburb.

Shit, I meant to add drones to the list.
Might as well use it to just shoot up schools then
Right tool for the right job.

Congratulations for understanding the true American spirit.
Because 99.9999% of us prefer shitty life with our favorite distractions to death or prison.
There comes a point where that life isn't preferable anymore, but then it's too late.
Thing is. It is their first time. Most of Europe knows how this ends because generations that lived under a dictator are still alive today. Children of those generations are alive today and have first hand accounts of how it was.
Murrica has none of that.
And if any tankie is reading it. I am talking about soviets. Not nazis.
Agreed, but the Bread and Circus of centuries and millenia past have become extremely good. There wasn't even a term for air conditioning, either.
To get serious, citizens have to give up a lot of creature comforts. I don't see them doing that.
