    He’s consolidating more power, gutting the people who aren’t the utmost loyal to him, and gathering more people he knows will commit violence on his behalf. The ballroom is turning out to be more of a doomsday bunker than just a ballroom. He’s getting cornered as dissent begins to grow from within and from the public as his approval rating continues to tank. They’re moving faster and faster on goals they intend to accomplish, and are now beginning to talk about Cuba the way they were beginning to talk about Venezuela before the capture of Maduro; this suggests another invasion is coming. There are warehouses getting bought intended for immigrants and probably “domestic terrorists” by the standards of NSPM-7, intended to occupy up to 100,000 people in each one. The Republican party has decided the future of the party is more vital than the future of this country, and they and Trump are willing to cheat in the upcoming elections to maintain power and control, while the opposition is currently failing to maintain the aggressive poise they need fight against this and counter gerrymander. Mass economic hardship projected because of the Strait of Hormuz, with the possibility of famine ranging throughout the entire globe, and is most definitely a matter of time before it hits home.

    People are sleepwalking into this and need to wake the fuck up; be ready and give it everything you got. Tell your friends and family. Your participation is fucking vital.

            Protesting? I am talking mutual aide and survival programs that simultaneously agitated the status quo.

              Show me where that has made a difference though? That’s my point we are pretty much powerless in today’s society to do much of anything that will cause change

                  What was that 50-60 plus years ago? Since then nothing has worked to make things better for the common person. If anything they are worse now. Since at least LBJ the conservatives have been trying to set up the system as it is today. They have been playing the long long long game and it’s worked. Americans today are far too dumb and lazy to ever go on a months long boycott of anything. Nobody wants to be inconvenience. I’m too old and tired to be fighting for our rights like I used to. Young people will have to do it, but they are not
