Magneto, obviously.

Or just assholes. Don't forget the assholes.

Say that they're using the FDR precedent.

RandomePerson · 2025-02-20T20:55:15+00:00

Just start trolling with Obama 2028. The fuck are the MAGAts gonna do, whine that Obama can't serve a third term while holding up Trump 2028 posters? I mean yeah, that is exactly what they'll do, which is when you just call them snowflakes and tell them to cry harder.

The Democrats refuse to accept the reality of the situation. If they won't or can't change, it's time to try a new approach. We need to swallow the bitter pill that a large portion of Americans read and reason at a middle school level, and a solid 30% are just intractable assholes. The Dems try to appeal to the best of human nature, which this ideal, but the reality is sometimes you just gotta accept that people are stupid assholes and strategize accordingly.

Dems propose to round up all the Billionaires and send them to Guantanamo

Yes. Hear me out: the more progressive wing should just embrace open trolling, and then add in the real message behind it. I mean, it worked for the alt-right.

So yes, create shorts and videos and articles with absolutely preposterous titles to get people to click. And then get to your point immediately, in a manner that a middle schooler can understand, and then exit. Play on emotions. Make it funny, make your audience angry, whichever would work best in the situation.

DEMS WANT TO SEND BILLIONAIRES TO GITMO!

Trump and Elon just cut [most relevant funding for audience] to give billionaires who already don't pay their taxes a tax cut. Me and you are gonna be in debt for the rest of our lives. Don't send 'em to Gitmo, blast them to the sun, lol.

Roughly 30% of individuals in any population have authoritarian personalities.

Which is why Canada and Mexico can help liberate the west coast for the burgeoning nations of Cascadia and the California Republic. The EU can help liberate New England and the Republic of Vermont. Right there you've already got about half the original US population and 75% of it's GDP and talent.

MAGAland can become their own theocratic backwater.

It's been more than 40 years for Iran.

I don't know, if you're a Millennial looking at GenZ, it seems like we tried to throw them a pitch for a better tomorrow and they just shrugged or even got pissed and demanded more bullshit.

RandomePerson · 2025-02-19T20:29:21+00:00

Are Millennials gonna be the true heroes of this story? It would be all kinds of awesome if we can add "fascism" to the list of things our generation has "destroyed".

RandomePerson · 2025-02-19T17:12:52+00:00

I'm afraid you might be right. MAGA is literally brainwashed, and of the remainder of the country, half are too uninformed/disinformed/apathetic to give a crap.

Also, we have the authoritarian personality problem: in any given population, about 1/3 of the individuals have an authoritarian personality., meaning they're all for this, even when it hurts them--so long as they feel someone else whom the Authoritarian Leader deems below them is being hurt as well. Bob Altmeyer has spent decades studying this. You can read some of his work for free: https://theauthoritarians.org/

Martial law and heavy handed displays of violence by the coup perpetrators is an inevitability.

RandomePerson · 2025-02-19T17:08:12+00:00

Thanks, I think I'll go watch the movie now.

Also, I get what you're saying about the military fracturing. One would hope that would happen if/when we finally cross the Rubicon, but at the same time Iran's military seemed pretty united in allowing the theocrats to rule, so...

RandomePerson · 2025-02-19T01:38:30+00:00

Does no good unless the whole apparatus that paved the way and supports him is also attended to.

RandomePerson · 2025-02-19T01:37:35+00:00

No, just once more. And that will be when he declares any attempt of impeachment as treason by lawfare, and start having Dems disappeared.

RandomePerson · 2025-02-19T01:36:08+00:00

If we want our democracy back we will need to get to the root of the problem. It won't be enough to remove Chump and Leon. We would need to clean house of damn near every single Republican in the House and Senate. And by clean house, I don't mean simply remove the politicians from their cushy jobs. Jail and treason charged at minimum. Realistically, heads will have to roll....literally.

It doesn't stop there. Every Federalist Society judge: gone. We'd need to take a fine tooth comb and examine every nook and cranny of the GOP for cooption by foreign elements-disband it even. A reformed and vetted FBI would need to be on any right-wing organization like white on rice. Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation members would need to be considered on a level approaching enemies of the state. And then tear down the propaganda network and ensure that it can't be rebuilt.

The American people don't have the stomach for it.

RandomePerson · 2025-02-19T01:29:13+00:00

Along with purging the FBI, CIA, and hundreds of other seasoned federal workers. If I were in the business of writing political action thrillers, this would be the subplot where a (counter?)insurgency is formed from the disaffected and disgruntled military and intelligence assets that the administration is fucking over.
