Those are two different problems.

Years and years of politicians moving the goalposts further right, letting the rich get richer, allowing more money into politics and disenfranching voters is not something you reverse in a single election, and it won’t change until ordinary people get into politics more and at every level.

But if you vote for Trump or abstain from voting, you’re encouraging it.

I don’t think it’s a distraction, Trump’s been talking about tariffs since he took office. And besides it seems clear he doesn’t give two shits about what people say.

Trump and co have 2 years (until the midterms) to bankrupt the US, let Bezos, Musk and Thiel buy whatever is left that can turn a profit (energy, utilities, etc.) and put loyalists in charge of the election in key states.

See USSR in the 90s.

Vote. In every election. In the primaries. The city you live in. The school council. And convince everyone you know to vote, too. Protest. Strike. Make people you know angry about what’s happening so they are motivated to stir shit up. You still can change things, but you are right: you can’t do it alone. So find as many people you can who can do it with you. Time is running out.

Yeah but remember, ACAB /s

Not a lawyer, but court orders are ultimately enforced by the DOJ. So yeah…

People like judge Jackson are what the US need right now.

Remember 2016. Everybody thought he would lose, said his campaign was a train wreck… He’s saying the same shit that got him elected last time.

So I wouldn’t say it’s unraveling. This is the kind of campaign that can make him win.
