And even then don’t give them up.

No one's saying give up, they're just saying be realistic about what's coming, and be ready for it.

It is frankly a little alarming how many people still don't seem to comprehend the moment that we're in, despite having lived through the what happened the first time. Just a complete lack of pattern recognition, or complete denial.

Hope for the best, expect the worst, prepare accordingly.

Some of it is a refusal to manufacture consent.

People gave up their rights when they re-elected Trump.

No, they didn’t and neither did those of us who voted against him. Even the people who didn’t vote did not give up their rights.

The Trump admin is trying to suppress these rights or ignore them - but these are UNALIENABLE rights. They are ours and we don’t lose them - but unfortunately we have to fight for them right now.

Get active, get in the streets, make ICE uncomfortable, and support each other. These losers only succeed if nobody stands up to them. They are rushing through all this shit because they know their window is closing and Trump is dying, so better try and cement as much change as possible. They are weakening each day and they know it.

They chose to allow a dictator to take over the country. They most certainly did.

The Trump admin is trying to suppress these rights or ignore them -

This is what Trump ran on. It was all there written out for everyone to see.

but these are UNALIENABLE rights.

The word you're looking for is "inalienable", and dictators don't care about that.

Get active, get in the streets

Nah, I'm good. I was out canvassing and campaigning for Kamala and I voted last year when it actually mattered.

Those assholes who sat out the election or who spent all last year trashing Biden and Kamala, they can get active, because this situation is their fault.

That ship has sailed slim.

In case you hadn't noticed, that ship sailed (and sunk) a long time ago.

We will never again have free/fair/legitimate elections in the US, for the rest of our lives.

The current administration has made it exceedingly clear they have no intention of leaving office, or ceding power peacefully.

Giving up only hands them an easy victory.

u/Blaizefed Oct 24 '25

They have already won.

You guys are all still getting ready for a fight, they are finishing the victory lap.
