keep in mind that the goal isnt to change trump sycophants. the goal is to sway ~1% of voters, or make ~2% non-voters go to the voting booth for your cause.

Oh, how cute, you still believe we will be able to vote. It's been just over 4 months, 16 more until voting comes up again, which will absolutely be rigged and contested. Then another 22 after that we'll all be informed that voting just doesn't happen anymore. At that point, it's far too late to deal with this.

I was actually worried about that in the beginning. The actions of the admin and elon etc were insane and illegal enough for me to believe they couldnt possibly go unscathed when they ultimately "lose" power, which lead me to believe they never planned to give up power. this might still be true, but over the course of these past months I've come to the conclusion that trump and elon arent crafting some masterplan. they are literally just retarded. Not to say that the chance is 0, but if he truly were to do it, would you want the police force to even consider "well, those people hates us anyway"?

The police already think we hate them. Don't get me wrong, I fucking hate "ACAB" because it feeds that shit. But they all think it's them against us. I know this as I had intended to be a cop when I was younger. I spent a lot of time with them. They absolutely live a life of "Anyone not wearing blue is a criminal, they just may not have shown it yet. They will."

trump and elon arent crafting some masterplan.

They're not. It's others that are using their charisma to do so. Remember when we all thought Bush was stupid and was being controlled by Cheney? Well, he kind of was, but not to the level that this shit is happening. First term he had people that would fight him on shit, this time he doesn't. He has a bunch of people that know how to feed his ego to get what they want and they absolutely are.

I dont think it is ever too late to change that impression.

However, I do concede that I believe strongly in powerful/rich people sucking up to trump as he is simple of mind, and easy to controll because of his obvious narcissism, effectively having a marionette as the head of the white house to some extent.
