ID: line drawing of an upright bunny with a black bandana tied around their neck, holding a lit match in their mouth like you might a toothpick. The text says “we can’t just vote fascism away, the time has come to disobey. (be brave!)”

    “We can’t just vote fascism away”

    Well, if you’d voted for Harris we could have, but have fun doing it you way, especially now that the military will be standing by to kill your asses on sight.

      Since you can’t bother to formulate an original thought, I won’t bother providing an original reply, here’s a copy pasted one I made earlier:

      Lmfao, news flash: it’s already here, has been for a while.

      Never mind that never in history has tyranny ever been voted away. To think otherwise you must completely misunderstand what tyranny and fascism are, as well as how the current establishment functions.

        Oh is it, now? smh If you really do have the guts to go out and protest the mass deportations, Gaza, and whatever else, you’ll find out the hard way what fascism really is. But I have a feeling you’ll just stay home and watch it on TV.

      I believe, if we get to that point, a large portion of the military will be on our side. There are still a lot of good people in the military that, if it’s turned inward, won’t follow those unlawful orders.

      I also had hope that Trump wouldn’t have won the election though, so this could be wrong.

        They definitely won’t be on your side. Of course some will have qualms about carrying out those orders against their own people, but for various psychological reasons, they’ll go along. The best chance is if the military leadership refuses to give the unlawful orders to their troops.

          Yeah, a lot of the leadership wouldn’t follow that order is what I was implying. The grunts would then have to decide who’s orders are valid and figure out what side they’re on.

          If Trump uses the military on citizens, I’m reasonably confident that’s the start of US Civil War II.

            Yeah I hope they wouldn’t. Maybe they’ll try to resist it for a while but they’re choosing between following orders and losing their career at best and possibly more extreme retribution from trump at worst.

      Trump losing elections doesn’t change the people who vote for fascists. We can vote out Trump, we can’t vote out the corrupt police, the companies that enable and fund it, and the mass media that supports him.

      Trump is the symptom of a larger disease.
