You could probably say the revolution has already started and things are so tense people will believe it's true and run out and start the revloution.

I think the whole point of the ridiculous shit he's done in week 1 is to abuse the slow speed of virality.

Freeze budget, content gets created, gets reversed, frozen budget content is peaking viral.

Mix of what's going on. News says one thing, social media says another.

So yeah I think you're right, but I think the point is civil war.

We gotta somehow unify and get one another to see it's a class war.

[naiboftabr@infosec.pub]

We could all just revolve in place.

I think most people would be more likely to leave if things get bad enough. Question is if they can recognize the signs before the point of no return where escape routes are closed off.

[sudo@programming.dev]

You'd just get aimless riots if you tried it that way.

The sign was election night my dude, welcome to hell.

[chainweasel@lemmy.world]

I believe the term is "tinderbox"

[tattorack@lemmy.world]

Maybe on the keyboards. But as much as everyone is talking about sending CEOs to the guillotines, nobody is actually doing it. It's just angry posting and venting on social media in between regular dull life moments.

[ogmios@sh.itjust.works]

Way too many people treat life like a movie, where anything other than gripping emotional drama is just stumbled through with eyes glazed over.

Over half of Americans are obese. How many can survive the night in the woods outside their house, for a single night? How many know how to make gunpowder or charcoal?

No revolution is coming until people are literally starving to death. And the powers that be will never let that happen.

And if that doesn't work https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uzO2mi4uHAs

The one think Trump and Musk are both really intelligent about is controlling the media cycle. They know how to draw focus to pointless shit so they can do their real deads without attention.

[clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world]

Like run tesla into the ground? Must be doing the art of the deal.

[roofuskit@lemmy.world]

I did say the one thing they were good at.

[clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world]

True, that's my bad.

[agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works]

Well, not nobody

[southsamurai@sh.itjust.works]

It has.

The problem is that the resistance hasn't gotten rolling yet.

What? You don't think the takeover of the US government by fascists isn't a revolution? It is. It's joust that the bloodshed is going to come after they solidify power instead of bale before.

[trickdacy@lemmy.world]

It would be about time that the truth no longer mattering went to good use

[sgforce@lemmy.ca]

Trump sure as hell is only signing those EOs because of the titles they put on them. This fucking guy can barely read at a fifth grade level. Sure, he put the guys in charge of things that he wants or thinks he does cause they suck up to him. He's a fucking moron.

[cauzapneaglb@lemmy.world]

Agreed

And so I come full circle on this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.
