Can someone - anyone! - do something? anything?

[NewHendoLib]

The trajectory of all of the bullshit simply can't continue at this rate - or can it?

I am seriously wondering if there is a Democratic party any more.

1. Blame the entire GOP, the Supreme Court and the rightwing propaganda machine!

[sheshe2]

4. Thank you.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

2. It depends on what you want done.

3. When I need inspiration, I like to read about Civil Rights movement tactics

They went through this for generations and came up with a lot of creative ways to peacefully resist. The most important thing is to not give up, or expect it to happen quickly. Just keep plugging away, and keep the moral high ground.

[Intractable]

9. Simply put, you cannot look to the current leadership of the Democratic party to be inspirational.

They think it's not their job.

Here's Schumer doing his best to inspire.

11. We shouldn't be looking to him for leadership - he's a shroom

The leadership and tactics of the civil rights movement were constantly evolving, with multiple leaders. We have many young leaders with good ideas today - AOC, Melanie Stansbury, Gavin Newsom, Ezra Levin and Leah Greenburg - founders of Indivisible.

Let a thousand flowers bloom.

[Intractable]

14. Shrooms, so to speak, are way more fun than Schumer.

[Bread and Circuses]

5. Doesn't seem so. The goose is cooking and it's us!

We’ve fallen through the ice.

Each day our nation remains in the control of the republican fascist criminal syndicate the more likely they will strengthen their domination and strangle opposition.

Anything is possible. The republicans are winning … their voters either don’t care or silently support the unlawful and cruel actions.

We have months , maybe weeks,

This monster was created by US Voters and now the Fascist criminal syndicate is going after the entire globe

[BlueTsunami2018]

6. Sure, the People can.

We could shut the whole country down if we wanted. But no one wants to be inconvenienced.

[Coventina]

7. Truth! It's why nobody will give up Amazon, Facebook, Xshitter, etc. etc.

GIVE ME CONVENIENCE OR GIVE ME DEATH!

[hunter]

12. My life is better without any of those.

We don't have cable, satellite, or broadcast television either. Our television plays DVDs and two or three no-advertising streaming services. That's all it does.

Democracy is drowning in bullshit.

[HAB911]

21. True this.

Land of herding cats can't get it's shit together to do anything.

[thought crime]

8. Space Aliens could do something

10. Kang and Kodos actually ran for office.

Do stay for the end!

[Kennah]

13. 1933 to 1945 - Don't expect anything internal

[wackadoo wabbit]

20. True, but who are the Americans in the current scenario?

Or are there any?

I despair.

[W_HAMILTON]

15. If people wanted Democrats to do something, they should have given them power by voting them into power.

Stop blaming Democrats for not being able to stop this march of fascism when the voters gave them no power to do so.

[Ol Janx Spirit]

17. This is so true. And it's also more than a little disappointing that parts of the Democratic base...

...did not show up because of external issues like Palestine--and others shifted to the Orange Abomination because of the price of eggs, etc.

Despite all of the evidence and effort we failed to convince even parts of our own base that the election was an existential threat.

I hope they realize now that the next one is--if it happens.

A lot of people died to give us the right to vote, yet sadly many of us don't appreciate it enough to even show up.

[Blue_Roses]

18. This!

[hay rick]

16. There will be "ICE out for good" rallies and vigils all over the country this weekend. Go to one.

Anybody who hopes that OTHER PEOPLE, including their elected officials, will save American democracy for them is part of the problem at this point.

[Coventina]

19. Going to a protest tomorrow (today, technically)

I can't sleep, I'm so angry and upset.

[RoseTrellis]

22. Massive turnout

A grassroots uprising is paramount.
The world needs to see a massive groundswell of opposition NOW—before Republicans rig the mechanisms to steal every future election in plain sight.
Get loud. Get organized. Or kiss democracy goodbye.
Without having the house or senate, I think the only hope is to get out and be seen! If Americans see just how many are standing up against the Rs, they won’t be able to lie and cheat to win future elections claiming it’s the will of the people.
BS! The people are united, standing up against fascism!
