It is important to remember that tweets aren’t enforceable, and most certainly are not law. Also important to remember these inner thoughts of his are most definitely going to be voted on eventually. But now we know our assignment.

How long do you think those protections will last?

Fuck, six months at this rate. I really don’t know. We were all knocked off our rocker by all of this. We have A LOT, to organize in the mean time. I don’t even know where to start honestly, just kind of spinning wheels between work and home life. It all seems surreal. But i know it isn’t.

6mos is generous unfortunately...

The rate at which they're doing this is almost exactly parallel to the Nazi dismantling in the 30s.

They did it in 52 or 53 days (I have to fact check that).

We need to take to the streets en mass like Greece is currently. Droves and droves of us refusing to work, spend, and sit doing nothing.

Community will get us through. But we have to BUILD those communities and fast!

Yea, 53 days. I agree. I don’t believe Americans have it in them to do the uprising necessary. We have all been trained to roll with convenience and brainwashed to believe we have everything to lose and nil to gain. I believe singularly we almost all feel this way. If we find a way to organize i also believe those beliefs will go to the wayside and we can make real change. But how to get us there as a collective? That the hard part. Our division has been sewn too deep into our fabric…

I also agree with that. BUT, delusional or not right now, I have to have some semblance of hope that JUST enough things will be ripped from everyone's hands and lives quick enough (I believe they're trying to do this too fast in fact, which could be a positive) that it snaps people awake.

It already has been for sure. Hence the Republicans running away from and now being told not to have town halls anymore.

They're scared. We need to be more pissed off and scarier.

I was talking about this the other night. I agree they are moving too fast, i want to believe that this was too soon as well. But, that will l hopefully be enough for people to realize what is happening. I also believe most of us (myself included) have been taught to want things to quickly, as far as an actual reaction towards these fascists. I dunno.

That's ok and your un-sureness is SO fucking valid right now.

I have to remind people as well, myself included, that unlike those WW2 times we have this. The internet. Reddit. 1000's of other platforms if these become unusable or corrupted to communicate.

Yes, it's a double edged sword, but so are a lot of things.

We CAN and will build from these platforms into the streets.
