the 19th century people in Europe were in the same situation. They managed to protest, riot and eventually change things. They also had to work, had families, faced violent law enforcement. We’ve been enjoying the results of their bravery for over a century now.
Americans only have excuses and believe bravery is shooting someone who can’t fight back.

America is not 19th Century Europe. It’s a whole fucking continent. Look what the “No Kings” protests accomplished. Absolutely nothing.

Project 2025. They learned from history. This does not go this well without prior atrocities to learn from. The current regime is not inept or uneducated. Frighteningly the opposite. I would LOVE to see how nineteenth century Europe would fair in these exact conditions at this time. Because I cannot tell where this all is going. History may rhyme but it rarely repeats the same beat.
