He does something illegal on a practically daily basis and everyone just kisses his ass. Now I guess he can just continue on and conquer the whole world and kidnap world leaders. Why doesn’t anyone stand up to this asshole?

    We’ve enjoyed voting between projectile vomit and hot sauce diarrhea for 100 years. The wheels were bound to fall off. What you’re witnessing are the wheels starting to fall off. 99% of the politicians are complicit, because that’s how the whole system works.

    “Fascism is capitalism in decay” -Lenin. When the system starts to collapse, it needs to get more and more violent and belligerent. Trump is just the symptom of this. If it wasn’t him it’d be somebody else. Lesser evilism has brought us to this point, because it hasn’t and never will work.

    Some good books to read are Blackshirts and Reds, and Jakarta Method.

    We are standing up to him, but conveniently in capitalism it’s basically illegal to do so. We’re seeing people get arrested for protesting Venezuela attacks and ICE. This is by design.

    What to do? Get organized! Join DSA. Join CPUSA. Join a union. Hell, join Indivisible. Start building your networks. Organize!
