    3 already lowkey happened with BLM and then blaming immigration in order to beef up the police and “law and order”. But I have a feeling it’s going to happen again in a second stronger wave.

      This is why active physical protests are being discouraged. It’s playing into their hand and won’t accomplish what we want.

      We have to play smarter because even if we are perfectly good and peaceful and somehow right wing jackoffs aren’t sneaking in to stir the pot? The media will frame it as a barely contained pot about to boil over.

          In time, yes. They will manufacture a reason for their crackdowns.

          However that does not mean we should hand them that excuse. The longer it takes for them, the more time we have to try getting out of this mess, or at least longer for other countries to see what’s going on.

          I’ve seen this movie before.

            Yeah, just do nothing and hope other people stop them from getting anything done! Great plan!

        Don’t worry, Democrats have already announced a plan: seek to secure the vote of moderate Republicans in the 2026 midterms.

        Because it worked so well in 2024, 2020, 2016, 2012, etc.

          Dems will nominate Ted Cruz as their candidate in 2028 to appeal to non-MAGA Republicans. Centrist dems will then demand everyone support him because, in theory, he’ll be a little bit better than Trump, who is running for his third term. Remember, as a voter, the only criteria you’re allowed to use is whether the Dem candidate is slightly better than the Republican one. If you’re a Democrat, it is your moral duty to vote for Ted Cruz in 2028. If you don’t, you’re morally responsible for anything Trump does in his third term.

            And this is why we need to replace corporate and centrist Dems with actual leftists - there’s like 3 in the whole party.

            A protest vote in the presidential is ineffectual, but replacing the party with people who will actually do something will lead to them fielding actually competent candidates.

          We do have to act. Else it will happen.

          Best time to act was forty five years ago in denying regan.

          Second best time is now
