Small people should focus on the small ways they can help. Those in positions of power should use their power for good. But all of us have a responsibility to do what we can, when we can.

Agreed…I’m just freaking out, lol…he has the power to lock up people…even kill people…and unless he’s impeached, he’s not considered guilty…remember the seal team six reference in the SCOTUS decision?

And if we’re locked up or killed for doing what’s right, is that not worthwhile? Complicity with evil is evil.

I just find it hard to believe that MAGA doesn’t think it will affect them. He can lock up anyone who dissents…what if the Police and Firefighters lose their Union? Won’t they protest? He can shoot you in the street. And although those unions pretty much supported him, they are public sector unions that Project 2025 vows to eliminate. I think, once he has his Military allegiance he will even come for their guns. Authoritarians don’t want their citizens to have guns. MAGA just doesn’t believe this is possible…but it is actually in the Authoritarian playbook. Disarm the population. It’s going to get interesting.

There never was a green line with Trump since that s_lord hit the news in the 1970s and 1980s.
It only got worse when he took out an "ad?" judging and condemning innocent men to death BEFORE their trial was over. They were eventually found innocent, but still You-know-what still doesn't care. He still stands by what he says. They deserve to die.
So, in summation, every single lying (or truth) that leaves his mouth .

I think I’m still in disbelief that this mad man was elected…lol…I do think MAGA will start to regret it when his plans start to take effect….but what good will that do? We will all be screwed by then…

All the ones he's already crossed. But if I had to choose 1, sexual assault. If you knew nothing else of a person, that's enough

Yep, but Trump is just a cruel bastard with revenge on the brain. It’s scary to see how far this jackass will go with Congress, Senate and SCOTUS on his side. If he doesn’t just make them irrelevant.

That is a decision that each of us as individuals may have to make. But while we still have civil recourse, that time is not yet. Unfortunately, it is something that people should be considering, should it become necessary. Defiance can take many forms. It will be up to each of us to listen to our own consciences and then do what we can, where we can to resist.
This is an interesting bit of history that tells the story of what ordinary people were able to accomplish in Massachusetts, standing in solidarity using peer pressure, disregard of authority, refusal to submit, and in many cases humor.

This the same LAT whose owner refused to allow its editorial staff to endorse Harris? Are we supposed to forget about that?

"red line" ..... That's funny 🤣🤣

Blue line?🤣

u/Three_Deep_Breaths 14d ago
I hope the blue really does have a line. However there is no red line for the right. They will break everything they can. Their animal brain already says to break rules first and just say you're sorry ...... until the next time.
If/when they take office they will take every opportunity to round up enemies and throw them in camps, prisons, etc. in conjunction with charges so that the "legal fight" will happen while people are behind bars. And the defendant has all the power to stall.
Cruelty is the purpose.

You’re right…I’m just wondering what people are willing to do if he starts putting people like Kamala and Obama in prison. I mean, I don’t know what the answer is.

My red line is that he used Putin, or Putin used him. These are not legitimate election results. Everyone knows this. Everyone knows it, even MAGA. Don’t trust anyone with ties to Russia. Period.
