We are is okay what?
As far as I can tell, the Trump administration is meeting near zero resistance.
If people don't do anything, it's the same as condoning it.
And yes I know there are some that do, and I know there are good Americans too.
But you are too few, and you don't make a significant difference to the problem.
our big problem is too many people hooked into propaganda machines like they're in the matrix. too many people on bluesky, twitter, facebook, lemmy, and at their local mcdonalds watching mass media news, all without connecting to anyone else who can help them muster resistance or help them direct their feelings.
the revolution will not be televised. people need to go outside and start talking to their neighbors to dislodge them of the notion that this is politics as usual
Yes there's a lot of truth to that. But at some point people should get concerned enough to take to the streets.
But despite everything happening in USA, that is not the case.
that's what i'm saying. those of us who are pushing back against fascism are currently trying to get our coalitions bigger, and i need anyone on lemmy not outside getting on that timing. the bigger and stronger our coalition the safer it is for our activists to act
I wish you all the luck.
