I genuinely, cannot, believe this might be happening.

We all knew shit was gonna hit the fan when Trump won his second term, but this, I don't think anyone saw this coming.

Nope, I saw much worse coming. Barbarity of the sentence aside, he's still convicted and sentenced to die.

I honestly thought by this point we'd be executing political dissidents on live TV.

Give them time. They have two more years to go.

I'm interested in what they're going to use as their Reichstag Fire.

After the midterms get rigged (ICE at polling stations, a multinational mercenary group at USPS warehouses, Trump supporters in election certification offices, etc.), some leftist accelerationist expecting to get killed anyway will probably provide a Reichstag Fire. The Trump administration will have national security agencies look the other way like the Bush administration did with the warnings about 9/11, and voilá, the current amount of surveillance will "be insufficient to stop the threat from within".

As for the specific terrorist attack they'll let slip through the net - I don't know. Maybe let the white house get bombed so all of it will need to be rebuilt in a grander style. Maybe let the VP get assassinated so some unelected billionaire puppet can take his place and take over when Trump croaks. Maybe there are few enough terrorists that they'll let most plans through, or maybe they'll do a false flag to have full control.

All we can say for sure is that Americans won’t do shit to stop it.

We could start considering that urban planning in America has always been aimed at making protesting almost impossible. That and most people being one paycheck away from homelessness.

Bread and circuses, people don’t want to risk anything for change. Revolution isn’t meant to be safe, it’s meant to make a better future.

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.
