Summary
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is organizing grassroots events to oppose Trump’s policies, arguing that “Trumpism does not believe in democracy.”
In an op-ed, Sanders criticized Trump’s ties to Elon Musk, federal budget cuts, and media influence, warning of authoritarianism.
He cited Trump’s recent post likening himself to Napoleon and accused him of disregarding the rule of law.
The White House dismissed Sanders’ concerns, accusing Democrats of authoritarian tactics.
Ask in a thread on a different instance.
I’d love some practical ideas that aren’t political violence. The Reichstag fire didn’t exactly turn out well for Germany.
We’ve been on the receiving end of political violence daily now for decades. They want to crank up the dial on our level of suffering then they should expect we crank up our resistance to the same level.
Not a single human right was won or protected without violence.
Who said anything about that? If that’s what you want to talk about, it should happen in a different instance.
That said, in the abstract and speaking generally, a single instance of a particular tactic within a broad category of strategy failing does not disprove the efficacy of the entire broad category.
I assumed you wanted to talk about solutions that these mods ban. Isn’t that political violence?
No, I have no interest in being baited into getting banned.
But never mind that; can I infer from your lack of rebuttal to my actual argument that you concede the point?
Not trying to bait anyone. Honestly just confused about what you’re suggesting that we can’t talk about here.
Right!! LW is liberal censorship land where the only acceptable forms of opposition are voting harder and marching around with signs yelling chants. Utterly pathetic and ineffectual as they lead us all to slaughter. And lead is being generous right now.
