Now might be a good time to consider using those guns mentionned in your constitution....
That's always the struggle, just like marching up to the manager's office to demand better. Yeah you all get fired up and heated in the break room, but when you actually hit the stairs, can you trust them to follow? Or do they just want to complain and keep the status quo?
This irritating effect of individualism and mistrust is why we struggle to cooperate. There's so few unifying ideals anymore.
The other problem is a simple matter of logistics. How do you actually make your stand to do something good, and not just be a group of easily snuffed rabblerousers that get quietly put down, or worse, hurt the people you're fighting for?
Idiot fascist movements seem far easier to motivate because you simply need to ask "Hate something? Hate everything? Blaming someone else? Show up and scream something to feel like you matter! Violence not guaranteed but encouraged."
True, we're collectively against President Musk and his weird little orange purse poodle, but nobody understands practical tactical leadership to actually gain any kind of momentum. Everybody's just trying to simultaneously shout over the crowd or worse, infighting each other over superficial ideals.
It's bleak.
We can legally dislodge them if we fight very heavily to install sane people in local and state levels, but the limp noodle Democratic Party must be seen as a broken better-than-nothing tool at this point. They won't save us, and they need to be replaced as soon as possible with something that's up for the job.
